(1,727 posts)One of our adopted children was the product of a rape. The birthmom did not want to have anything to do with this child. The rapist is in jail. She will never know the circumstances of her coming to be. She is severely developmentally delayed and has numerous medical issues many coming from the birthmom's attempts to harm herself and the baby while the birthmom was pregnant with a child she did not want. Unless those who are against abortion come forward and adopt children born in these difficult situations then I do not put much faith in a pro life position. I know of no Congressperson who adopted such a child. Chief Justice Roberts and his wife went outside of the country looking for "perfect" children. How much more it would have meant with their resources and anti abortion belief if they adopted at least one special needs child/child of a rape. It is just the way I see things and I encourage all conservatives and others with anti abortion beliefs to adopt or support moms so they can raise these children.
