Should Victims of Rape keep the Pregnancy if They Get Pregnant?

Hmmmm, this is one question that has been on my mind for quite a while now.

If a girl was raped and weeks later , she found out she were pregnant, what would you advise her to do?

Rape in itself is disheartening how much more bearing the thought of a product coming off it. That’s even more challenging. How does the mother explain to the child that he/she is a product of rape, because, of course someday the child would ask to know is/her father and one cannot lie forever.

So what should rape victims that get pregnant do with the pregnancy? Keep it or abort it?
