thank you for this article! I am saving it on my computer and printing it out and putting it in my bible, too. As a former Catholic, I still abide with that Church’s teaching on life, and I am definitely pro-life. However, it is still very hard to come to terms with a child (a girl of 9 let’s say) bearing a pregnancy after rape or incest. The psychological damage of all of that (the rape/incest, the pregnancy) is huge, and it must be so heartbreaking! But, on the other hand, the innocent babe’s life is so precious, too.

Thank the Lord we have the power of prayer. That is usually the only thing that gets one thru any life issue.

And the physical and psychological damage of an abortion at that age will most likely last far longer than the psychological damage of the rape.
