Good post, D1. I had the same reaction.
Rebecca Kiessling’s website says she’s been married 11 years, and is the mother of 5 homeschooled children. I think she also has some very valid points concerning the legal ramifications of proving a child was concieved due to rape.
It’s hell being born in the 50’s, and having a notion of ‘normal.’
Thanks Glock Rocks. I like to mention things that are new to me, thinking perhaps those things may be new to others also, and perhaps they may recognize them as something they missed during the reading.
I appreciate the note of agreement.
That factoid is incredible to me. I have always thought it was a tough call forcing a girl or woman to deliver the fruits of a rape, even if we were talking about a little human being.
Then there’s the mention of the factoid that women who have aborted their fetus conceived by rape, are four times more likely to die in the first year post abortion.
Good grief, these two factoids are devastating to the argument that rape victims should be allowed to abort their fetus.
I’m going to have to keep these things in mind, when folks raise this issue. It’s not information I’ve had in my intellectual arsenal before this.
“It’s hell being born in the 50’s, and having a notion of ‘normal.’”
Yep, remember those old “despicable” shows like “Father Knows Best”, “Leave it to Beaver”, “The Nelsons”, and Lassie? LOL
Even shows like the “Lone Ranger” were instilling a decent values set in children.
And you know what, those shows infuriate some people. I don’t give a damn what color those folks were, they were great shows. I liked Amos and Andy too. Should I be trashing it now because it involved Blacks? Not gonna happen! It was a great slice of life.
I know where you’re coming from. I certainly agree.
You think that is bad. I was born in the 40's.
