It is such a tough decision. On one hand people lose responsibility by saying its okay. I.E. rapists of those rape victims are not considered serious threats to society ...... Her having the child, being able to prove who the father/rapist is and society being made responsible for the child and the women would make people act out justice alot faster. Starting with compensating the women.
We live in such a doggy doggy world though that nothing is just and fair as it should be. And women are not taken care of and have so many stigmas attached to them that it becomes harder and harder for me to vote on this issue. And I suppose this is another thing in which I feel some of us just have to put our trust in God as he is the knower and helper of all.
I have heard something about abortion under a certain number of days/weeks being halal in certain circumstances. Particularly when it would be threatening to the ladies health. Which I assume can both be physical as well as mental? Allahu Alim it needs much clarification.
Also their is the problem with what many of you have mentioned as bad parents. And again society does not take into consideration their background or offer them support to help them out. As a district attorney, I saw kids from dysfunctional homes commit crimes at 18 years old and gain a felony in California. A felony which meant that even if they got their lives together they would continue to bear the consequences of no goverment jobs, most professional qualifications for the rest of their lives. Even if they pulled themselves together and were only consequences of their enviroment.
