I am a mom of two. The beautiful girl who made me a mom is almost 6 years old. That same beautiful girl was conceived in a rape. As soon as I saw the positive pregnancy test, I thought abortion was the answer. Abortion is “always the answer” when a woman is raped, isn’t it? In fact, I was working as a nanny and my employer told me I would have to abort if I wanted to keep my job because she didn’t want her children to see me “like that.”
I went to the pregnancy resource centre here in Ontario and asked the woman whether I should abort or not. She told me that although she couldn’t tell me what to do, she would offer support regardless. If I kept the baby, they would help me with furniture, prenatal class, counseling — the whole nine yards, and she assured me that I was capable of raising my baby.
So I kept the baby, and that’s when it hit me: women don’t abort because they CAN’T carry the baby. They abort because they are scared to carry the baby and nobody is telling them otherwise.
This is myself with an old friend, Jordan — Jordan Hunt. He was always quirky. He walked barefoot everywhere, climbed on equipment, statues, poles and trees. He had a loud and contagious laugh and was always a shoulder to lean on. He was unapologetically himself.
We eventually grew apart, as many young friendships do. Then I saw his face in my Facebook newsfeed: Pro-life protest turns violent. I watched the video in horror. Before the violence even started, my heart shattered when Jordan Hunt insinuated that babies like my daughter should be aborted. Like it’s the obvious choice — mocking with thumbs up, thumbs down whether a rape victim “should keep the baby?”
Then he kicked her — a young pro-life activist named Marie-Claire Bissonnette. You can hear Jordan yelling, “I only meant to kick her phone,” and I wholeheartedly believe he only meant to kick her phone out of her hand — but even that was such an unnecessary act of violence and the hatred he had was easy to see. And all because Marie-Claire suggested it wasn’t okay to kill a baby conceived in rape. All because she suggested it wasn’t okay to kill MY baby.
Since watching this video I have caught myself grieving. The Jordan I knew died when I saw that video. But it hurts more when I realize he is still here — but he cares so little about my child’s life that he would kick a woman for suggesting we do anything other than abort children like mine.
This incident has damaged so many people, including him. I pray this is a lesson learned, I pray this opens his eyes, I pray he opens his heart, and I pray that the Jordan I knew comes back some day. I also pray for his victim as she recovers from the trauma of this incident. And I pray for my daughter. I pray that some day, people will see her worth. Maybe if Jordan and I had kept in touch, he would have seen how pro-life people gave me hope and took care of me and my baby. He would have seen how pro-choice people were only giving me one choice — abortion. He would have seen the reality of who my daughter is, and would have to feel much differently about this issue. She is not a “rape baby.” She is MY baby. She is the baby of a rape victim, and she is worthy of life. Children like her should not be punished for the crimes of their fathers. Thank you Marie-Claire for defending us. My daughter is truly the rainbow after the storm.

A crime is committed and the most innocent victim gets the death sentence?
There is no justice in that.
How many people have recognized his PENTAGRAM necklace..?
Wow.
Satan steals souls.
And I saw the video. Liar meant to hit that lady, not her phone. And that kick looked like dome stupid amateur who thought he was delivering a martial arts lick
Satan steals souls.
Satan steals souls.
Me. So sad and full of self-hatred. I still would’ve kicked his @$$ had I been there. Needed to be taught a lesson.
I would’ve come at that MFer like a torpedo.
He deserves a swift kick in the nuts and then a size 12 boot planted from behind.
Very sick.
Thanks for your post. God will keep blessing you for honoring life. Rape does not stop God’s sovereignty nor His redemption.
“She is not a “rape baby.” She is MY baby. She is the baby of a rape victim, and she is worthy of life. Children like her should not be punished for the crimes of their fathers.”
Amen!
Thanks, I did not until you mentioned it. Had to zoom in to see it, but it was there.
Even if he had only kicked the phone it would still be assault and battery IMO.
The evil these people carry in their hearts is unphatomable.
Make no mistake about it folks, this is truly a war of good vs evil.
Love overcomes lies
He’s a classic cry-bully.
I can hit you and hurt you physically because you’re “hurting me” by disagreeing with me.
You’re calling the cops? You’re getting others mad at me? You’re the mean bully who was oppressing me with your hate speech.
This is what evil in the name of good looks like. This is what violent liberals can and will do when given moral cover, that anything they do - including sending death threats and hitting people - is all in the name of love, peace, the poor little helpless victims.
This Jordan creep needs to be strapped to a chair and chain-whipped.
And then he needs to be punished
