Choose life. Even if your daughter is raped.

Or "not live" as well. Later, QD.

My dad is a piece of shit. Also - my parents were not as fortunate to have the career that I do. No, I didn't hurt for anything that I needed - but there were a few days where the lights weren't on if my memory serves me correctly. Having me did my mom NO favors - and me being 30 years old, meeting my dad when I was 9 and having the knowledge that he is a POS is not something I care to know. If I was aborted then I'd be none the wiser. In addition to that, aborting me could have made for a much easier life for my mom as well.

meeting my dad when I was 9

You're luckier (if you can say that) than I was. I've never even seen a pic of mine. I remember applauding right in front of my Mom the the second she told me he had died. I was about 14 at that time. Later, QD.

No disrespect to you or you mother, but she had another option. There is a constant shortage of healthy newborns available for adoption in this country. Your mother had that optional there for her and she chose not to use it. At that point, she chose to deal with the hardships of being a single mother.

Choice is a very powerful thing and I believe we take too much advantage of it in this country. Too often we want to choose to do something that is potentially harmful, yet we dont want to deal with the consequences. I feel that this discussion highlights that more than any other situation. We all know where babies come from. With that knowledge, if you still choose to have sex, then you shouldnt have the choice to just get a mulligan and act like it didnt happen. You should be forced to deal with the consequences. Whether that be raising a child, or putting it up for adoption is your choice.
