i dont believe killing is the "lesser of 2 evils", when there are other options. The only time i would think killing the child would potentially be the "lesser of 2 evils" would be in the case of the life of the mother. which i think undoubtable is the much harder decision to make by a great magnatude.
the mother doesnt have to raise the child, she can give it up for adoption, there is no telling or not whether the child will have a caring father. Also im not saying it is an easy decision, but it is one that must be made. Killing the child is not the lesser of 2 evils. letting the child live, while the mother brings it to term is the lesser of 2 evils. becuase most likely the mother will endore emotional hardship, but there is no loss of life in this scenerio.
And this whole topic is about what this senate candadite said. Which when you actually here his words, and think about what he said, it certainly isnt crazy, and it certainly isnt worthy of this kind of back lash. Because where he is of the belief that life begins at conception. so regarldess of who its father is, there is a life. So therefore even in the horrible situation of rape, the baby is a life, and life is a gift. So his stance of abortion only in cases of the mothers health, and not in others like rape, is perfectly reasonable. Now you may disagree with his views on when life begins, but his stance is constistant and logical.

You didn't answer my question: What would you do?
Everything you said, as well as what this senator said, is easy to say when you are a man and thus will never have to go through such a situation in your life.

sorry, forgot about your question.
obviously since i am a man, and havent been raped, and cant get pregrent my view answer is only specualtion. But at this point in time i have absolute certainty that i would bring the baby to term. im not sure if i would give it up for adoption, but i dont think i would.
but like you said it is easy to say that as a man, but if you actually watch the video, the senator was reletively emotional while speaking about the topic, he admitted to strugling with it.
also perhaps a slightly more important opinion, would be my sister, a woman. She and I are extremely pro-life i we talk about his topic often. She wouldnt dream of aborting her baby even if she was raped.
