Kathy Barnette, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, released a powerful video Tuesday in which she discussed being conceived in rape when her mother was just age 11.
Spurred by the intense reactions over the Supreme Court leak signaling the end of Roe v. Wade, Barnette affirmed her life has value despite having been the byproduct of a tragic act of violence.
“I’m the byproduct of rape. My mother was eleven when I was conceived,” she tweeted. “In the world the Left desires, I would never have been born. We need leaders with a steady hand to direct our nation through these difficult discussions.”
Barnette came to understand the truth about her own existence when she looked at her birth certificate after deciding to enter the Army reserves.
“I saw her age, and she was 12, and that just really struck a chord in me, because I realized how young my mother was when something so horrible had visited upon her. Even to this day, it’s a very hard word to say, but my mother was raped, given her young age, at 11 years old, my father being 21.”
Barnette’s mother made an appearance in the video and described how aborting her daughter was never a choice for her. “I thank God it wasn’t a choice for me,” she said.
Barnette said her own experience made her become more adamant about the sanctity of life and cautioned people against believing that children like her should be aborted.
“Even among Christians, even among staunch conservatives, an exception to the rule of being pro-life, for many, is in the case of rape, and yet my life has value,” she said.
Barnette cited her own family, including her husband and children, as evidence of this value.

My sister’s friend. She is a good person. We’re pulling for her!
From what I have read, I like Kathy Barnette a whole lot. Trump needs to flip his endorsement to her!!!!!
Does your sister know that Kathy is....... black? Shhhh...
In the sick world of the left, only race matters. You must have the hate-filled character of Ketanji to draw accolades from them.
But it must be acknowledged that the *child* is completely blameless and innocent in that kind of situation.
Would God forgive a woman who aborted a child conceived through rape? I honestly don't know. Would I forgive a daughter who aborted a child conceived through rape? Yes,I think I would.
Just sayin'....
I’m white, can i vote for Kathy? I thought i was supposed to be a racist .
Kathy Barnette has my vote! The hell with OZ.
Kelly Wright, former Fox News reporter, was also conceived in rape. They both had Courageous moms.
If her 11-12 year-old mother’s father was a Muslim, he might have...(fill in the blank)...and said that it was the will of “Allah”.
First, God forgives anyone for anything if they are sincerely repentant and have accepted Jesus as their lord and savior.
Second, for many, many women, the provenance of the child is immaterial because it’s her child, too. I’m not killing my baby just because the father is a criminal A-hole.
Sound like she one hell of a human being
She got my vote
I believe the late Steve Jobs was also conceived by an unwed young mother who chose life rather than take the ‘easy way’ out with an abortion. She put him up for adoption and the rest is history.
Steve Jobs, one of the most influential people of the 20th century.
You could find more better candidate. Graceful, beautiful, true to her wird. I love this lady.
Oh my. Note to self. Read post. Lol
Listen to John MacArthur’s, The Biblical View on Abortion for God’s answer to your question.
Met Kathy earlier this year. She is a super lady. My wife and I both voted for her.
God works in mysterious ways!
I agree!!
Not to mention..she’s a women..and she doesn’t have penis...how can that be?
