Michigan GOP Candidate Says Rape Victims Find 'Healing' Through Having Baby
Newsweek ^ | 8/20/22 | Brendan Cole

….Anchor Roop Raj then asked Dixon about whether she would support terminating the pregnancy of a 14-year-old rape victim.

Dixon replied that she had spoken to people who were the children of rape victims and that "the bond that those two people made and the fact that out of that tragedy there was healing through that baby, it's something that we don't think about."

"We assume that that story is someone who was taken from the front yard, then returned," she told Raj.

"Those voices—the babies of rape victims—that have come forward are very powerful when you hear their story and what the truth is behind that. It's very hard to not stand up for those people," she said.

As of Saturday morning, the video of the interview from Friday had been viewed nearly half a million times. Newsweek has contacted Planned Parenthood of Michigan for comment…

Yep. And Dixon sure helped them with his stupid and insensitive bonding comment.

One of the morals of this story is when you’re talking to the MSM, don’t drone on and on. Keep you’re answers short and to the point. The longer you talk, the more they will try to trap you.

They sure don’t find healing from aborting their child.

The healing per se might be that when assaulted monstrously they did not turn on an innocent child.

You are pregnant either way through no “fault” of your own. You will either miscarry, abort, or carry to term. Abortion is a further assault IMO.

I fear you missed my point. I”m about as anti-abortion as you can get. But it’s a poor position to talk about “bonding” when it comes to rape. It’s just a stupid comment that hurts our cause.

Talk about the life of the innocent unborn child, yes.

In a way, it’s like the observation that many black slaves were better off in the American south than if had they remained slaves in Africa. There is truth in that statement. But that comment would boomerang on anyone who said it.

What a shocking, controversial statement in our day and age... to even suggest not murdering an innocent child after something horrible happens to you is beyond insulting.

/s/

The culture of death has brainwashed the masses.

This Kamikaze Republican will take others with him the same way the last Senate candidate in Missouri helped take down the one in Indiana the same year. Are they stupid or are they really working for the other side? Me thinks stupid.

As for the Lord’s sake I don’t think God gives a s—t who wins elections.

Tudor Dixon is a woman. Not a “he.”

Look at what Tudor Dixon, A WOMAN, actually said, not the MSM headline about what was said.

Nothing like what Akin said at all.

Rape victims want justice, something they will never get from Democrats!!!!! How many sex offenders, perverts get out of jail or don’t even go because of some damn liberal judge!

Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock. They were the ones who couldn’t keep their mouths shut. And to think Biden only had to hide in his basement to get elected.

Just like democrats ran ads for what they saw as our most extreme candidates, I suspect they also pushed for ‘life at conception’... Most of us feel life begins at the point of quickening - around 15 to 16 weeks. The point where the soul enters the child.

Goodness! It’s usually men that make those ill-founded statements. Is this our hope against Gretchen? Major faux pas. Being a woman-will that save her?
