The answer is simple. She didn't want kids. And if she didn't want kids she should used birth control or had Yang aborted. But she didn't she ditched Yang dumping her on someone else while she went and lived the life of a criminal. Seriously, there's no way Yang won't be mad when they meet. Its gonna come to blows. Oh for fu-

First of all, Raven doesn't see it as a mistake. Otherwise she would have been far angrier at Qrow's jabs about her maternal activities.

Second, I don't care how technologically advanced Remmnant is, there is no such thing as 100% effective contraception.

Third, not everyone views abortion as an option. Just because Raven has no respect for human life doesn't mean she's automatically going to go that route.

Fourth, she wasn't just "living the life of a criminal". She's not fucking Roman Torchwick, she's a member of a tribe she feels an unshakeable debt towards. If Tai wasn't going to come along and wasn't willing to let her bring their daughter into that life, that's on him, not her.

Fifth, sure Yang'll be mad. She's already mad about it. But that doesn't mean it'll immediately come to blows, and if does it'll be over even faster than her fight against Adam.
