CHOSEN Current Event/Issue: Teenage Pregnancy, Rape Case

Scenario: A 15 years old girl got rape and eventually she got pregnant. She was only child and their
family is very poor. She is also the breadwinner of their family because her mother was sick and she
don’t have a father. She don’t want her child to grow without a father like what she has been
through.

Moral Dilemma: If the girl keeps the child her studies will stop, also she will need money for her
expenses during her pregnancy and after she gave birth to the child. Also the trauma of being
raped will forever scar her. Otherwise if she abort the child in her tummy, she can pursue her
dreams and career in the future to support her family.

Facts/Principle: A teenage girl was a victim of rape and eventually got pregnant. She came from a
very poor family. Her mother was suffering from a sickness and she don’t have father already. Her
pregnancy will cause her trauma because that is the result of rape.

Resolution of Dilemma: I think the best way is to keep the child and ask help for an institution to
provide the needs of both mother and the baby because afterall she is a victim of rape. Maybe after
she gives birth she has a choice whether to give the child to an orphanage or keep it She may also
undergo counseling or consulting to a expert about her trauma resulting of the rape.
