Pro-choicers lying about my rape

I am everything the pro-choice movement doesn’t want you to know and believe.

I was raped. I conceived a beautiful human boy.

He is the best thing I have ever experienced. I’d experience his traumatic conception 1 billion times more if it meant his life in mine.

Abortion supporters tell you women who have been raped need abortion. The abortion industry hasn’t ever asked me — or the thousands of women who have conceived through rape — think about this claim.

FACTS DON’T LIE

In fact, according to the only two studies conducted regarding rape and abortion, nearly 75 percent of women who conceived through rape did not choose abortion.

Why? The women in these studies by Dr. Sandra Mahkorn in 1979 and David Reardon(and others) in 2000 say:

-abortion involves violence,

-would destroy a human being with intrinsic value,

-would cause them and another person further trauma.

ABORTION PROFITS BIG MONEY

Why isn’t the abortion industry sharing this information?

They can’t risk the truth destroying their narrative — or multi-billion-dollar profit from abortion. According to their annual report, in 2019, Planned Parenthood reported total revenue of $1.6 billion. Planned Parenthood no longer reports excess revenue, but calculating total reported revenue and expenses, that number totals approximately $110 million.

ABORTION INDUSTRY SILENCES RAPE VICTIMS

Why doesn’t the abortion industry let rape victims who conceive children speak about the effect abortion vs. life has on them?

Because the real voices will destroy the narrative that abortion is best for women who conceive through rape. We’ll destroy the narrative that women who have been raped aren’t capable of confronting the rape as its own trauma. We’ll tell abortion supporters that the life of our children gave us hope, peace and joy in an extraordinarily traumatic time.

Eighty-eight percent of women who chose abortion regretted their choice, according to Reardon’s study. One woman in the study expressed positive feelings about her abortion, while the remaining women pointed to the abortion as traumatic and unsure if it was the right decision.

Ninety-three percent of all of women from the study would not recommend an abortion.

Huh? So women who have conceived through rape — whether they chose life or abortion for their children — don’t recommend abortion?

RAPE VICTIMS BAD FOR ABORTION BUSINESS

Planned Parenthood says any restriction to abortion “risks a woman’s life and is an attack on her most fundamental rights,” said Rachel Sussman, national director of state policy and advocacy at Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

But, the women affected say otherwise. Why are women’s experiences not being heard or used to make these decisions about abortion?

And furthermore, why aren’t the lives of the children in the womb being considered? Why isn’t the fundamental right to life of an American human being considered?

Why isn’t the abortion industry sharing what women who have been raped have to say about giving life to their children? And why aren’t they interested that 93 percent of women who have been raped would not recommend an abortion?

FOLLOW THE MONEY

Money.

Abortions account for 95 percent of Planned Parenthood’s services related to pregnancy resolution. For 2018–2019, every one adoption referral Planned Parenthood made, they performed more than 160 abortions, according to a breakdown of their numbers. (More on this here.)

Whether from the patient, insurance companies or federal dollars, Planned Parenthood gets paid per abortion they perform.

Planned Parenthood would be bankrupt without abortion services.

PROTECTING RAPISTS FOR PROFIT

Furthermore, they’d be forced to face their negligence and/or unwillingness to confront sexual violence as a serious issue, which would uncover an agenda that does not love and support women — especially those in the womb.

They’d be forced to fight just as hard for women who have experienced sexual assault as they do to kill their children.

They’d have to stop covering for pedophiles and sexual abusers and sex traffickers in the name of abortion rights.

They’d no longer be able to hide behind abortion as a woman’s right.

Again, bad for business. The abortion industry can’t afford to lose abortion or fight for the real rights of women — inside or outside the womb.

Fighting for justice for sexual assault victims doesn’t make the abortion industry money. Birth control, abortion and the harvesting of aborted fetal organs and cells do.

Where was the abortion industry when I was raped? Telling me to abort my son.

Where were they when I chose life? Gone.

Where were they when I graduated college with a 4.0? Silent.

Where were they when I became an award-winning journalist happily raising a healthy young man? Quiet.

Were were they when my son left for college, and I finally had to face the trauma of my rape? Crickets.

ABORTION DOESN’T STOP RAPE

The only choice Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry are willing to fully support is abortion.

Abortion doesn’t stop rape, and abortion doesn’t heal the trauma of rape. So, why does the abortion industry continue to use the trauma of rape and rape victims to justify the murder of more than 62 million Americans since 1973?

They’re afraid. Afraid that the truth about abortion and the truth about the joy of motherhood will get out. They’re afraid I’ll tell you my son never ever made me think of the rape.

They’re afraid I’ll tell you my son was joy and light that broke through darkness.

They’re afraid to tell you my son was a living, growing unique human being from the moment of his conception and his life matters.

I’m among the 73 percent of women the abortion industry is afraid to tell you about. I’m here to tell you that the abortion industry DOES NOT have permission to use my trauma and my son’s joyful life to justify the murder of little boys and girls like him.

My voice will not be silenced by rape, Planned Parenthood or the lie of choice.
