Those of us who conceive in rape will not be bullied into silence

I am a mother from rape. I love my child.
This doesn’t suit your agenda if you align with Planned Parenthood. You seek to discredit women like me with a flippant, “Well, good for you, you made your CHOICE.” The humanity of my son was an immutable fact from conception. No choice involved.
I am a mother from rape. I love my child.
More than half of you who identify as pro-life are uncomfortable with this, yet perfectly comfortable making exceptions. Perfectly comfortable saying that children like my boy simply must be sacrificed for the greater good. Perfectly comfortable saying I need to get on board or I’m being unreasonable.
I am an unreasonable mother from rape. I love my child.
Too often I hear the manipulative word play. “Are you going to look a brutalized woman in the eye and tell her she’s being forced to carry a RAPIST’S CHILD?!”
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.
Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.
Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.
Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.
I am going to look into the face of a broken and vulnerable woman who no longer recognizes her world and assure her that she has a reason to KEEP GOING. That she is no longer alone. That her baby needs her and needs her well. HER baby. HERS.
Can we drop the strawman arguments for good? Rape victim mothers are SICK of being your trump card. Our children are not “products”. They’re pleasures.
Not burdens – but blessings.
The more you lie and trot out the “But rape…” argument (that is not yours to use), the louder we will love. The bolder we will live.
We will not be cowed, bullied, shamed into silence.
I am a mother from rape. And I love my child.
