Me and my friends were having a debate in science today. Two of my friends were saying that if they got raped and got pregnant, they would keep the baby and then give it to an adoption agency.
Me and my other friend thought this was completely rediculous!! It would be so much easier and less harmfull to just get an abortion straight away or have the morning after pill.
The two other girls said that it was cruel to take away a human's life like that and that it is a good deed to give the baby to an adoption home.
We thought this was stupid because you weren't ruining someone's life when they are still just two cells that had been shmooshed(couldn't think of a better word) together. I would understand if you had got pregnant by accident with your long term boyfriend but if it had been raped I thought that was just mean to you and the baby to put yourself through the ordeal of being pregnant and giving birth, and then after all of that you don't even get to keep the baby. I don't think people understand how heartbreaking it is to give up a baby like that. You wouldn't know what the family that would adopt it would be really like and if they would look after the baby properly. You would always be worried about your birth child, who's father was a rapist. Also, I don't know because I'm not adopted but I can imagine wanting to find my true mother and wanting to know why she didn't keep me, I think it's a lot harder for adopted children to be as completely happy as otheres.
What would you do? Would you keep the baby?
