Ethel Waters was conceived when her mother was raped by a mixed-race (white?) man when she was thirteen years old.
Ethel Waters was not aborted because that option was not available.

(These are people who are being aborted, even if they are conceived in rape.)

3. Rape victims choose abortion at half the rate of the average unplanned pregnancy, which is over 50%. Only 15-25% of rape victims choose abortion, depending on the study. The majority of rape victims choose to raise her child — not “the rapist’s baby” — HER child.

This was a factoid provided by: Rebecca Kiessling, a pro-life attorney from Michigan, [who] fully understands the national debate going on concerning the controversial comments Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin made about abortion and rape. Kiessling was conceived when her mother was victimized by a rapist.

With apologies, I'm not sure who Ethel Waters is.  Did I miss a mention of her in the article?   I'm afraid your point was a little unclear to me as well.

If you'd like to provide more information, I'd be interested in your POV.


















Okay, 93% completed.  Thanks for the help folks.  If you haven't already, please click below and pencil yourself in.
