If you are against abortion and believe rape victims should give birth to their rapists child, then you should refrain from posting here. I am not here to discuss whether abortion is good or bad; you are entitled to believe what you want and I would appreciate if you would keep those views to yourself. The issue here is whether you agree with the idea that pushing a woman to give birth to her rapists child is acceptable. While it might be hers, it is still her rapists. Additionally, it is pointing out EK's agenda.
It is evident from PV storylines where EK stands on the issue of abortion - she is pro-life even the cases of incest and rape. When her character does have an abortion - as in the case of Varsha - it is shown as a selfish and bitter act and one that results in a penalty for the individual: no future children.
What EK is promoting through her character Shanshank is WRONG. Every woman has the right to decide if she wants to carry a child and especially the child of her rapist. No-one should be chastised or punished in making them do this act. It might be possible for some women and for others it might not be. Can you image what it must feel like to be forced to carry your rapists child only to find out later? Some women do not want any reminders.
Also, when a woman is raped, EK could have shown the woman undergo a rape kit test and obtain necessary contraceptives to prevent pregnancy. EK does not care for providing women with this knowledge and then creates false information whereby her characters can obtain DNA tests of children that are not even born! Seriously EK.
While a show has a job to entertain, it also has a social responsibility to not lie and use the show for its own personal propaganda. That is a serious wrongdoing.
