Feb. 14, 2014 (MonicaKelsey) - When someone says, "I am pro-life except in the case of rape or incest," they are using an oxymoron to describe themselves. This is in essence describing themselves as pro-choice and shows they have a lack of understanding of what being pro-life is truly about. Glenn Beck, who my husband listens to almost daily, is a good example of someone who is highly intelligent, but lacks the understanding of what it means to be pro-life with no exceptions. Let me explain.
First of all, let me tell you about who I am. I am a medic and a firefighter from Indiana. Four years ago at the age of 37 I reconnected with my birth mother, who placed me for adoption at birth. The information she entrusted me with the day we reconnected has changed the course of my life forever.
My birth mother was brutally raped at 17 and as a result became pregnant with me. But in 1972 my life was protected by a law that said that my life had value. And even though the law was in place, protecting me, my birth-mother succumbed to the pressure of carrying a child conceived out of rape and found herself at a back alley abortion clinic at the advice of her mother.
While standing in front of the man who was going to take my life, my birth mother changed her mind. She left this clinic and never looked back. Her mother hid her from the outside world. She gave birth to me and never even looked at me. But she gave me the greatest gift I have ever received, on top of my life. She gave me an amazing family. And for that I will forever be grateful.

Glenn Beck is morally wrong, and acting against God himself, with his support of Abortion and the Gay Agenda.
Five minutes ago, I could’ve seen Beck’s point.
But not now.
She changed my mind.
May she change many more minds with that powerful testimony.
excellent article. thanks, saved to share
Abortion is murder, and not due to the nature of the sex act that precipitated the creation of a unique human life.
P.s., what an amazing story.
Another reason to reject Beck’s ‘gentle’ brand of RINOism. The Guy is an S.E Cupp retread.
Anyone who supports abortion with exceptions is a muddle-head.
Aside from the fact that it’s murder, they seem to think that aborting a child conceived in rape or incest is “kind” to the mother, that somehow it’s healing for her, and that giving birth to the child is cruel and horrible. “It’s like repeating the rape,” they say—idiotically.
Glenn Beck is a lapsed Catholic. Sean Hannity, who also supports murdering babies in some cases, is a nominal Catholic who also supports contraception. But I don’t think there’s anyone who thinks he’s a thinker.
There is no reason why an innocent third party should be executed for the behavior of one or two others.
Wise up, Mr. Beck.
Nicely played.
S.E. Cupp is the stupidest woman on the planet. It’s a miracle that she can tie her own shoes without help.
Yes. His two flaws——but as he “progresses” and reads and understands that it is NEVER ok to kill innocent human beings or use them as a “Means to an End’-—as sodomy and abortion does. Then he may “change”.
People do evolve over time with education and experience. I used to be where Glenn Beck was in the 90s. It took much reading, philosophy and theology to give me a true understanding of “Good and Evil”.
Once that happens.....everything is a clear as Black and White and you understand the depravity of man and the “slippery slope”. He still has a ways to go before he is truly “out of Plato’s Cave”. He is out more than most though.
I’ll make an observation here.
People who come from pro-life families tend to be pro-life (as this woman here, whose mother chose to let her live despite the horrific circumstances of the conception).
People who come from “pro-choice” families (I include those who practice artificial birth control in this number and ESPECIALLY those parents who tell their children how they deliberately “planned” or “spaced” the births in the family) tend to be “pro-choice.”
Of course, people may change their minds and you might find the contrary opinion within each group. Still, this seems to be the case, generally.
And she makes some of Glenn’s other staff look smart!
Only about a month ago, Glenn interviewed a woman who went to have an abortion and changed her mind at the clinic thanks to pro-life activists assembled outside. This young lady brought her new born twins on to Glenn's the show that day, there little lives having been saved. Anyone else on television doing interviews like this???
The Almighty only knows how many more may have been saved from that one interview Glenn did, thanks to him.
While I completely agree that all abortion is murder of an innocent person, unless a decision must be made to either save the mother's life or the babies'. I disagree that Beck and others who support (if he actually does) aborting in the cases of rape and incest are not pro-life. They're just not 100% pro-life and it's incumbent on us to change their thinking through education and stories such as this.
Glenn Beck, along with Harry Reid and Mitt Romney, is an extremely devout Mormon, with a temple recommend, all three are temple Mormons.
Not trying to be mean but do you know woman who has been raped?
I know 2
Youre either pro-life or youre pro-abortion..
Glenn Beck and his good buddy Willard are both pro-abortion...
Abortion in all it’s forms is murder. There is no space for an “exception”. Adoption is the answer.
The difficult moral choice is when the developing, growing child is a physical threat to the life of the mother. Ectopic pregnancy, chemo treatments, massive trauma from car accidents and other grave circumstances create impossible choices. Who lives, who dies? What morality do you follow?
You, your spouse and your child in a lifeboat. Boat cannot hold three, only two (disregard body size for this mental exercise). Sharks will devour anything that goes in the water. You must choose one to go in the water and perish. Who goes in? You swore fidelity to your spouse, your spouse swore fidelity to you. The kid is the odd-one out. But who among us would throw the kid over? Impossible choices we all hope to never face.
In the same spirit, death sentences within capital punishment schemes are also murder. Life in prison is the answer.
Not sure which one I get more grief for. Both are pro-life stands, one is more popular than the other.
The Lord above gives life. It is not for man to take away.
Defending your own life or that of others is not murder. It is self defense. Armed conflict is not murder, it is also self-defense.
