" Many women become pregnant as a result or incest and rape. Women who are perpetrators also become pregnant. Personally I became pregnant as a result of incest and had a miscarriage. Some people choose to carry the baby and give it up for adoption, some have abortions and some keep and love the babies. The child can be perfectly normal. I don't personally know of anyone who has kept the baby and hated it. That would be a shame. I think when women become pregnant as a result of rape or incest we do not necessarily know about it. Often times the result is miscarriage, abortion or adoption. None of which we would necessarily hear about. "

" I have a girlfriend who kept her child from incest. She is now 39 and he is 25. I have always admired her because she never held any ill will towards him. She never saw how he was created, but that he is her baby. She now has two beautiful grandchildren from him and they are both very happy.

She never told him nor has the family or any of her friends that know. She didn't want him to have to carry that through his life. I guess she felt that it was her burden and he was innocent. "
