Everybody deals with a traumatic incident like that in their own way; they may go ahead with the pregnancy with the view that they have brought a wonderful child into the world and that something positive thing has come of such a horrible attack, or they may choose to undergo an abortion if they think that every time they look at the child it will act as a constant reminder of being raped. It really is such a difficult subject, and as I said, everybody deals with things in different ways.
