Stories are a dime a dozen. Need corroborating evidence.

You quoted: “If she didn't’t abort the rapist’s kid, then it wasn't’t rape.”
You asked: “How is that a “mischaracterization” and how is it not a conclusion?”
Not my statement. I have no idea what the author meant.

You referenced the rape kit. No proof of anything here. Purely a “she said.”

Sorry, but I respectfully submit that a simple yes or no will not suffice here. I just don't have enough information to go on. Great story, but lots of questions in my mind about the authenticity. Like the Rolling Stone and UVA rape stories, this made a good read, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
So, for this story to be credible, the woman needs to provide evidence to the reader that she was raped for it to be believed? The fact that a respected pro-life news outlet vouches for her credibility isn't enough?
Not my statement. I have no idea what the author meant.
No, it was Age of Reason who wrote:

However, it was posted in response to this statement by YOU:
do believe that it is not conducive to honest debate to insult and mischaracterize speakers who do not feel that they have enough evidence to come to conclusions.
You are writing about OTHERS whom you defended throughout your post #63.

Got it, a respected pro-life news source isn't credible for what they report.

There is absolutely no similarity between this story and the Rolling Stone story. This is about a rape victim choosing to love her child. Rolling Stone was an unverified attack on a respected university.
So, I will ask again:
Do you believe that the pro-life movement is somehow so unscrupulous that they would fabricate a story about a baby conceived in rape?
There is absolutely no reason that you would be unable to answer this. I am not asking if you believe the woman's story is true, I'm asking if you think the pro-life movement would fabricate a story.
