Is It Sin for a Rape Victim to Abort the Fetus?

[Smt. Priyanka Seethepalli asked: When a woman gets pregnant because of a forced rape by an unknown attacker, is it still considered a sin if she decides to abort the fetus?]

Swami replied: Forced rape is the sin of the rapist and not the sin of the raped lady. Even the abortion need not be done provided the husband agrees. The issue in the womb is not sinner and why should it be killed? It can be delivered and admitted to some charitable institution (anaatha aashrama).
