I have revisited this issue several times and still have not come to a complete conclusion. I am completely against ending the life of a human being because someone wanted to enjoy some hours worth of pleasure. I feel as though you think you are responsible enough to go and have sex than you should also be responsible enough to deal with the consequences of it.

The other side of it is there are some people that are absolutely not cut out to be parents. And those kids should not have to suffer with those that are irresponsible. Why should their future be ruined? Then adoption is a good choice. In addition to that, when it comes to adoption or foster care you have to be concerned with who are these people who will foster the child? There have been cases where the foster parents abuse and neglect the child.

In the case of rape I have thought about this countless and numerous times. Rape is a critical situation emotionally and psychologically. We can easily say then give the child up for adoption (and also be concerned about that which I said above). But in reality the child is going to end up wanting to know where he/she came from. Who are my parents? And when they do who would want to know that they were conceived out of rape?

These are just some thoughts that I feel should be taken into consideration.

I don't believe children should suffer for the mistakes and sicknesses of others. They are innocent and don't deserve to live such a miserable life. This is like a punishment for them and what have they done but be born into the world?

Can we really give a consistent answer for every situation? I don't think so. Each one is different and that needs to be taken into consideration.
