Re: If a man fathers a child through rape, should he have visitation or custody right
I don't know about projection being an absolute, but it is a probability and that I can agree to. I would say that any woman in that situation would have to come to the carry/not carry decision with not only a heavy heart but a lot of introspection.Rape is a life-changing traumatic event in a society such as ours. It's not healthy to want a child conceived through sexual assault, and those feelings will be projected onto the child by the mother, so two people end up being permanently damaged. One of them being a person who shouldn't exist in the first place.
EDIT: But I will say that if she wants it, nobody should have the power to take that away from her. However, for her own sake, and the child's, the fetus should be aborted.
