But what if they don't?

What if that baby has a deformed brain or body and you know it will have a deformed brain or body? What if the child is the result of rape?

Would you want to have your child born into a world literally unable to ever put 2 and 2 together and get 4, or be unable to control any of their muscles, or know that they were the unwanted by-product of a man raping a woman?

Everyone has their own destiny. Preventing it by murdur is really awful. What if an aborted disabled baby could have been the next Stephen Hawking? What if an aborted down syndromed baby could have saved its own mother's life? Most disabled people are glad they were not aborted, and are happy with their lives.

Also killing a baby because it was the result of rape is some serious descrimination. That's like saying its right to kill another person because he is a different race than you are.

Raping someone is an unwanted action caused by a man having sex when a woman does not want it, or it is forced. So in reality, it's more like killing someone when you're forced to kill them, or because you never wanted them as a whole.

Children cost over 400,000 dollars from when they are born to when they become eight-teen. This number is rising, and fast. More diseases are popping up, more babies are being born so demand for things such as diapers and things are rising eventually leading to upward costs, and mothers are finding it harder and harder to pay expenses. Say you've got a little boy who wants to try and go to school, but the girl who was raped cannot pay for these things, and she also cannot afford an education for herself, much less another person...

Maybe he's also got Down Syndrome. If they don't help the child because they don't have enough money, he might find it hard to walk around, or even go anywhere because he doesn't have sufficient funding. Maybe the kid has Aspergers, or another Autism-spectrum disease. They can't be cured either.

All large orphanages do not care for their patients. All they do is give them mush to eat, a place to sleep and some rules. They do not give them love , affection, a warm welcome and sometimes these things they do give are inadequate or are not treated properly.

Would you want a child to live there, at the mother's house, or not at all?

The correct answer is the third one, Leon; just face it.
