Unless you have been brutally raped, you can never fully understand the hurt, fear, and anger that comes along with it. For women who are then forced into a pregnancy by their attacker, it is the equal to being victimized over and over again. It's bad enough that a knife, gun, or person who resembles the rapist, will always trigger both memories and terror. But then to have to look into the mirror daily and watch a belly as it grows, and remember exactly how that came to be? Rape victims suffer from feelings of belittlement, shame, and helplessness. Many take years to reach the point where they will feel somewhat safe again. It is a terrible thing for them to be asked to nurture a baby inside their body, when truthfully, they may be incapable of taking care of themselves in a healthy manner. There are so many variables that come into account when a woman's body is ripped away from her control. You never know how strong (or weak) you are, until you are placed into an unimaginable situation.
