Rape is a severe blow for a woman. After this event, she can easily fall into prolonged depression and even go to the hospital. Rape often results in pregnancy. Then a woman will have a very difficult choice - to give birth to a conceived child or not to give birth.
None of the women are immune to rape. If this happened, then it is foolish to delve into the reasons for what happened. It is possible to survive the rape, although the rehabilitation will be quite long. However, pregnancy, as a consequence of what happened, can aggravate its course. Understanding all the risks of abortion, a woman needs to think about whether she is going to give birth to this child or not. The decision must be balanced, taking into account all the nuances of rape.
Pros and cons
Pregnancy after rape cannot be planned. It is quite understandable that the woman did not prepare her body for this event, but what happened happened. Now it is important to weigh the pros and cons of this kind of conception. First, a child from an unknown man is in itself undesirable. However, if a girl is very young, an abortion can be dangerous for her reproductive system. The risk of forever being childless is a real argument for maintaining this pregnancy. However, infertility is not necessarily a consequence of abortion. There are cases when a woman successfully gives birth to children with a history of abortion. To assess health, admission to abortion and their own chances of bearing a healthy child, the victim should contact a gynecologist.
Decisive Factors
By itself, a small embryo in a woman's body has nothing to do with the rapist. Yes, he is his seed, but a completely different person is formed inside. But any child deserves love, affection and attention. How can a woman reward this child, whose father is the man who raped her? Yes, if the degree of love for the child in the womb outweighs the hatred for the offender, which happens very rarely.
From the point of view of Orthodoxy, it is impossible to have an abortion under any pretext. However, rape is a special case, and therefore the decision about whether to leave the child or have an abortion should be made only by the victim. An important factor is the state of the abuser when he committed the wrongful act. If this is intoxication, then a little man in the womb can develop with deviations incompatible with life. Despite all the disadvantages, women who give birth to a child after being raped are and will always be. The main thing is to listen to yourself and understand whether you really need him. After all, a baby raised in love can become a joy and the meaning of life for any woman. There are many advisers in such a sensitive issue, but they will all judge on the basis of their own ideas.
