...after the female victims are rescued, would some of them still give birth to goblins?

What I've gathered about goblin reproduction from the internet:

Goblins are all male, so they abduct and rape women in order to reproduce. They're like parasites, and the women are like an incubator, so the goblins aren't half-human. (They're like the xenomorphs in Alien.) The women are only "pregnant" a few weeks before having a litter of goblins. I don't think the birth kills the women, so they can be "used" more than once.

So does that mean Fighter, the girl raped in the first episode, had goblins in her as she was sent to the temple? Is she going to give birth to goblins and the other nuns will just kill them when they're born?

I've only seen the first episode, but I haven't seen the answer on the internet anywhere.

A tricky question. I watched the anime and we don't really get an answer. I don't know if they answer that question in the LN either but I doubt they do since it's a small detail.

I'm sure in a world full of magic there are spells or purification rituals that could reverse a pregnancy, in the early stages atleast? Maybe they just abort? In the end it's all head canon but I'm pretty sure they won't just leave the women to watch their bellies grow and give birth to goblins while "recovering".

Ugh, I can't imagine being tortured and raped by goblins, THEN giving birth to little monsters once I was freed. I would kill myself first. I bet any other woman would do the same.

There's got to be some sort of purification spell that aborts evil beings growing inside someone, and the temple would be the best place to get treated. Maybe that's why it's not spoken of: the temple keeps it on a need-to-know basis. Or maybe getting rid of evil parasite babies is included in healing miracles.

Man, I bet there was at least one girl somewhere who escaped but was never healed, and gave birth to some goblins later. That's terrifying.

The babies that GS killed in the cave may have been born from the other rescued girls. If so, I wonder how they dealt with that knowledge.

Once you learn what the goblins really are and how they reproduce, the implications of rape becomes more terrifying.

I am reading the LN, but only up to Volume 5, still reading. They make no mention about it explicitly. But at the end of Episode 1 of the anime, Narrator says "They say it's a common occurrence, Goblins attacking a village and kidnapping girls... A party of rookie adventurers going out to slay some goblins only to end up slaughtered... Rescued girls joining temples due to their despair after being treated as goblin playthings etc etc etc...".

So maybe abortion or some some form of miracle happens at the temple.

Why would you want them to be aborted? Perhaps they can grow up as good goblins that don't rape women as long as they are educated by kind human beings.

If I remeber right there are female goblins but they are very rare

I don't think that goblins do it to make babies they probably just do it for fun or because the creators made it that way. also beserk can get away with it but not goblin slayer.
