Moral dilemma: Rape pregnancy
Imagine you are one half of a young couple, depending on your gender. You have been together for quite a while now, perhaps a couple of years, things are getting serious and you want to spend the rest of your lives together. Unfortunately for the two of you, the girlfriend in this hypothetical couple is raped one night walking home from her friend's place, and while she gets away without being the recipient of even worse violence, the experience is deeply upsetting and obviously ruins her life. Weeks pass and the worst happens - the girlfriend discovers she is pregnant. As the girlfriend, do you abort the child? As the boyfriend, do you want her to abort the child? Discuss why you would or would not choose an abortion.
