9. Women shouldn't have
to bear a child which is the result of rape unless they really want the baby. I was acquainted with a Catholic woman who was dragged off the sidewalk into an abandoned house and raped. She was 18 and she had never before had sex. She was impregnated and because of her beliefs, did not abort and kept the baby. Not that it makes any difference, the baby boy had a severe heart defect and was mildly retarded. He had to have open heart surgery. He has caused her a great deal of grief because of antisocial and criminal behavior. I just can't help but think if plan 'B' had been an option and if she hadn't been so brainwashed by her mother her life may have been different. Who knows. It's all hypothetical at this point. Being raped is bad enough but to have to look at the product of that type of conception the rest of your life seems so tragic.
