It is not easy carrying a baby to term, then breaking the mother/child bond.
People don't seem to remember that abortion isn't easy either, it's not a case of "Oh shucks, I'm preggers, oh well, out with the dyson"

That bond is the hardest to break, we have a very close family friend who was more or less raped at the age of 15, this was over 20 years ago. Infortunately due to the situation she concealed the pregnancy until it was too late to abort. (Even as a teenager I was first to spot there was`something up with her)
Her family sat down and discussed it sensibly with her and let her make the decision, and she decided that the child should be put up for adoption. She went to hospital to give birth and it was agreed the child would be taken straight away from her.
All went well until a do-gooder nurse decided to take the baby to the mother, the bond could then not be broken and she kept the child. All turned out well, but she had a difficult time and had to be supported by her family.
I still think the bottom line is that children are optional, and no one should conceive a child if they are not able to support it.
