    As a 22 year old that's about to be 23 all I want man is to live a happy middle class or upper middle class life with a wife and kids one day and give them nothing but love and care its all a man like me can give bc my childhood severely lacked it. Sometimes i wish i was aborted or adopted at least I'd be given some sort of love and not feel like I have to be the gift that keeps giving. I always felt as if my biological mom love needed to be earned and not given by default ive been nothing but a good son good job dont drink nor smoke never gave her problems with girls i might not be the most religious but i have morals. But eh ig she wants the world from me. She just threw it on me maybe around when i was like 14 or 15 and left it like that no mental support nothing not reminding me of my vaule as a young man at all. 🤦

    I hope they live good. They are braver than us to take such a burden. They are smarter to overcome this burden as well inspite of the disadvantage. If i was an alien outside this planet, i'd admire humans as to their abilily to sustain goodness inspite of the bad. But this shows that abortion in case of rape should be made available to women especially incest. Specialized and free facilitated services in all hospitals should be available in all countries. Awareness to this and the services should start from school age. No shame in that.

    This right here is why i hate abortion. My mom wasn't raped thankfully but my brother died of SIDS while was in the womb. I felt everything. Its a strange feeling missing someone you've never actually met.
    So i can only imagine what they felt like in the womb.

    People need to stop using the terms "father" and "sperrm donor" to describe rapists who produce children. They are not fathers. Using the term "father" to describe them is a slap in the face to all real fathers in the world. As far as the term "sperm donor" goes, in order to donate something requires a willing recipient which a rape victim is not.

    Im from the US my parents are both immigrants. My dad raped my mom often they had a few kids but I was the only one born from rape. It effected her heavily because she didn't show me the love I wanted. She abused me often. I just hope this pain leaves my heart before it's too late. Its hard being alone. I have so much anger and hate buried deep in my soul.

    Greetings 🫖☕ good morning 🙏🌞These topics are important the men that rape need to understand all the harm they cause emotionally, physically, financially ✍️ children born from rape sometimes don't have that bond with the mother I was molested as a little girl it was hard when I had my first child at 14 years old the fake adopted family that raised me think abuse is love, drug addicts abuse everything…..I was forced to work at an early age to pay my way because the fake mum and dad didn't want to support a child that wasn't theirs they would tell me that✍️ I didn't understand what was going on I was just a child…

    I want these people who say no abortions even to rape to provide some real solutions as to a victimized woman’s both mental and physical cares and the solutions to a baby’s childhood knowing the true story, and how the victim and the victim’s family should live their life happy mentally, physically and financially and everything. Unless you have all these solutions, dont deserve to say a word.

    I am a child of rape. My mother was a 14 year old runaway, and was raped by a 22 year old man living on the streets. She raised me and had very conflicted feelings for me my entire childhood. She was neglectful and abusive. I wish that the state had done its job, charged him with rape and put me up for adoption. Neither of these things happened and I suffered my entire life from the state's negligence.

    There's a lot of unwanted pregnancies due to rape before the government relax their rules on abortion. It's beyond my comprehension how those extreme conservatives try to stop abortion once again. If the victim does not want to conceive and bring another miserable life here on Earth, it should be her choice to do so. And reading some stories here with victims being impregnated at 12-13 years old makes me feel disgusted. It's another level of monstrosity when minors are involved.

    Rapists, sex offenders, human traffickers must get the harshest punishment. In our time the punishment is still too light and lenient. The rape victims, mother and child suffer most, while the rapist don't. What kind of injustice is that!!!

    I met a man who was born of date rape. he was raised by his grandparents in poverty because his mother "couldn't deal" with him as a reminder of the rape. He is a genuinely nice guy and has a very loving family and has children who adore him.

    I hate the phrase rape baby so much. As hard as it may be to accept, how these people were conceived has nothing to do with their lives or who they are. Humans are so much more than that. It's cliche but my heart genuinely aches so much for these women and their kids. I hope only the best for them and everyone else who's gone through this.

    A rapist delivers 50% of his genes to the child. My cousin was raped at 18 and today her son is in prison after a lifetime of anger problems, defiance, and ADHD. As a woman, I want to chose who sires my children. I also want to know he will be there emotionally and financially for the well-being of his children. If raped, it’s all on the woman. Adoption in USA is about to become a multi-million dollar enterprise. Do you really think it will be good for the child or the mother? Too much greed and perversion in this country for me to trust it!

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

New explosions near Iranian port cities, says state media | BBC News

Published

on



Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.

It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.

The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.

Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

US launches more strikes on Iran and resumes naval blockade of ports | BBC News

Published

on



The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
