If the victim were my own daughter or a member of my church, I would counsel her to maintain the pregnancy on the grounds that the developing baby within her is a co-victim of the rapist’s heinous crime. To kill the fetus, who is innocent of the offense, is to add insult to injury. I would want to move heaven and earth to secure an extraordinary support system for any woman put in this dreadful position and to seek compensation for her injury.
