The forgotten victims of rape- the children!

An interesting article by a young woman who was herself conceived from a rape.

Jennifer is definitely pro-life. We asked her about the popular opinion that rape victims should be given abortions, that it’s the kindest thing one can do for the baby. Jennifer’s reply was adamant. She doesn’t think anybody should have had the right to kill her as a fetus. “It’s like a mercy killing. I don’t want people who are not in my circumstances making decisions for me. It’s my right to decide whether to be alive or not.”

Looking at the life she has now, she doesn’t think that anybody should pass judgment on her quality of life. “I wish people would stop equating us to the act that brought us here.”

She adds that coming to terms with a traumatic event like rape is very difficult, and a pregnant rape victim may honestly feel that she cannot love the child the way a child should be loved. The truly loving response is adoption. She is personally grateful for her wonderful adoptive parents as well as the birth mother who welcomed her back.
