Rape victim who aborted: “I still suffer 15 years later”

Victims and Victors is a book that contains interviews of rape victims who became pregnant. Some aborted; some carried their babies to term. One woman who had an abortion after her rape, identified only as “Rebecca,” said:

I know the pro-abortionists are wrong. They say abortion is the easy way out, the best thing for everyone, but they are wrong. It’s been over 15 years and I still suffer.
