Well if we're using personal examples....I am the descendant of a rapist.
You know, she survived the rape. A beautiful, strong, vibrant, loving woman, raising a child on her own, the child of a man who dragged her into the woods and raped her.
Would I have rather she be spared that pain and I not exist? That's kind of like asking black people if they're grateful for slavery because at least they get to live in America now. If I could ask her, I know for sure what the God-fearing woman's answer would be.
Killing the child does not erase the rape. It just adds violence to violence.
And maybe you think I'm radical, but even if killing the child COULD somehow magically erase the evil rape, it would still be 100% wrong. It's wrong to harm an innocent to make someone else feel better.
I'm glad you're here, regardless of the circumstances that created you! Amen to your mom.
