After I saw the "You're pregnant. What do you do?" thread, I figured we might as well have the opposite extreme of the spectrum.

So, as the title says, you've been raped and it ended up resulting in your pregnancy. What are you going to do about it?
Considering the fact that most Conservatives/Republican/Right-wing people would be more inclined to say "Well, too bad" in this situation, favoring the "rights" of the rapist's baby instead of the physically and mental well-being of the women, what would you do?

I hope the poll worked on this and didn't fuck up, like it so often does.

Abortion.

Well that was easy.

Again, not having been in this position, very difficult to say.

It's something to think long and hard about, but is ultimately my decision and nobody else's.

Make millions upon millions of dollars off the fact a guy got pregnant. Also, trackdown my rapist and get a DNA sample to make sure he's human. If human, I kill him, if not, I steal his spaceship.

I consider this pretty much the only option for me to get pregnant, so same answer as in the other thread. Abortion.

There's an almost identical thread on the forums already...

...and abort.

Misfire, Abort abort!

I think its not fair for the child to be born and then later find out that they were a result of rape.
Since kids are dependent on their parents, the parents should be strting the whole experience on a good note.

Angie7F:

As opposed to be the result of an accident? Or, someone trying to obligate their partner to become committed (in an emotional sense, if not legal) to a relationship they otherwise would have ended?

While the truth behind one's conception can weigh on them, I don't see using that as the sole deciding factor on whether or not to abort or carry the pregnancy to term as being particularly wise.

I'd go Hooooly pancakes I'm pregnant how can a man be pregnant hooooly pancakes

Raise the child as an assassin and make it our life goal to track down the rapist and everyone they hold dear.

Abort before I think about the how and why of male pregnancy could possibly work.

I'd be quite confused as I am a guy, how am I gonna get the little man/she-bat out?

I would go with abortion but I'd feel awful about it. It just wouldn't be fair for me or the baby to have to live with that. Could you imagine how awful it would be to find out that your father was a rapist.

Keep the child. When he his born, train him. Send him to the dark brotherhood if possible. After 18 years of intense training, send him after his father. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Use his or her hate and shame. Let it grow. And then, release it.

Seriously though, how the fuck should I know? Im not a woman so im not really into all the understanding motherly love shit, much less into imagining or knowing what its like to be raped. I have no idea.

ABORT LIKE A .....

That was not appropriate, but yeah, most likely case would be abortion.

Btw, I actually had this exact conversation with my Girlfriend, I was surprised that she said she would abort it.

NightmareLuna:
Because keeping a child you do not want is fucking stupid, therefore abortion.

This.

I voted `I dont know` on the other poll, but I would not be able to deal if this happened.
And having a child I don't want would not be fair on anyone.

SmashLovesTitanQuest:

Its nice to hear guys admit they don't know, instead of `Shut up ladies this is what you should do!`

This is one situation where I would definitely abort (the other being if I were likely to die from pregnancy). It would be awful for you having a constant reminder of a terrible thing that happened to you, and awful for the child knowing they were the product of a violent ordeal. Thankfully many mothers and children can look past it and still have loving and productive lives, but for me it would be too much.

Women who report rapes (shockingly few) and get treatment are offered the morning after pill to avoid this scenario, so abortion should hopefully not have to be a prospect.

I would wonder how I acquired a fully functioning female reproductive system 20+ years after I was circumcised as a healthy male infant.

I abort that baby so fast it won't even know what happned.. which it couldn't because it is not even a concious living thing until 26 weeks anyway. Thank God for the UK : D

That's <youtube= video ID] for future reference.

Edit: Ninja'd because of MSN. -_-

As a man I don't think I could even begin to comprehend the emotional stuff that would be involved here. I'd like to think I'd put the child up for a very closed adoption.

Sorry kids, I'm one of those craaaazzzyy people who thinks abortion should only be allowed for life-threatening health reasons. (I'm also against the death penalty 99.9% of the time)

Call Guinness. I'm a pregnant man.
Call police, report rape.
Call proctologist, repair anus.
Call Ghostbusters.

Well, considering I'm a guy, I'll never be in this circumstance. And considering that I think that rape is an especially evil crime, I certainly won't be doing it.

Ultimately, the decision MUST belong to the victim in this case, and to hell with anyone who tries to take that away from her.

Also, get a DNA sample and track that fracker down.

ABORT! ABORT!

I have no problem with this, it's just a mass of cells, not like its a human...

Still abort. Once again, came to that conclusion immediately and before making any jokes about having no box to hold babby in.

Since I am a guy. In this scenario I'd probably be the rapist. So my vote is abort.

(disclaimer: it's a joke. I'm not a rapist and I do not intend to become one.)

OT: Either abortion or adoption. If the child doesn't know its real parents it can never find out it is the product of rape. He might not even find out that he is adopted if the parents never tell him. The only reason why I would go for abortion is the well being of the mother. I mean, its not like being raped is of your own free will. I doubt after such a traumatizing event, she would want to carry the rapists offspring for 9 months inside her.

Abort.
It's only logical.

Kendarik:
So 25 posts of "hey I'm a man how did I get pregnant".

The joke was obvious the first time... but by post 28 you think maybe you could drop it?

The real answer is you wouldn't know. Knowing you have a fetus inside of you changes everything.

I think part of it would also be how I was dealing with the abortion. If looking at the kid would always traumatize me, it would be bad for both of us. If I was doing ok with it, maybe my desire for the baby would take over. Then again I'm not real keen on raising baby on my own, I think its a built in strike against the baby.

I'd probably abort...but I don't know...

Entirely agree, but of course, it's the victim's choice and certainly not Government's.

It came up on the Bugle podcast, ep 183, and the rough consensus was, that they hoped there was a near infinite queue of women lining up to shove a splintery wooden fencepost up his ass, and then ask him as he drops to the floor with tears in his eyes, to thank God for the gift he just rewarded him with, thru a fellow human. Then to keep on thanking him, because there were so many more gifts coming his way.
