This didn’t exactly go in the direction I thought it would. The LifeNews should have tipped me off.
The article was quite informative.
I had no idea that only 15 to 25% of women who become pregnant as a result of a rape, decide to terminate the pregnancy. Honestly, I would have guessed the other way around. I’m glad I was wrong.
Thanks for bringing the article to our attention.
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.)
You are not alone in this thinking which has been fostered by feminists and their democrat supporters. For that reason, I posted this thread. You can learn more from Kiessling's web site.

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.’
This is the huge underreported story - that the victims of rape who become pregnant - are more likely to see an abortion as being victimized a 2nd time.
The MSM and the left frame the argument in such a way that abortion in the case of rape or incest is considered a given - when in fact it is when compared to "regular" unplanned pregnancies.
Another little factoid: ~64% of all abortions are coerced in one form or another (e.g. parter threatens to leave, parents threaten abandonment, etc). So much for "choice".
