There are a number of people who have written me on my blog whose mother was raped and went through with the pregnancy and kept the child. I yield to their stories right now since they are so thankful that their parents chose life.

I’m going to tag this response with “rape” and if you click on it, it should take you to a page with all of my responses on this topic.

I am so sorry. Thank you for sharing this with me. I have posted a lot about rape and I’m sure you’ve already read some of it. But I will tag this post and if you click on it, then it should take you to my other posts about rape victims. 

I hear you. I can’t imagine going through that.

The point I’m making is not that I’m apathetic towards the people in that situation. I’ve been accused of that. If you could see that abortion is not helpful, it doesn’t change the fact that she was raped, and only adds guilt in a situation where guilt should never be added. If you could realize that the majority of women who have had abortions, that we know of, regret their abortions… Then you would know why voluntary abortion is never justifiable.

That’s where I’m coming from. I’ve posted more about abortion in the case of rape and you can check that out on the links I’ve posted.

I agree with you. The stat is only based on reported cases, as you have already perfectly outlined in your message. And that stat can only be based on what is reported, obviously… Just as any other stat.

Thank you for sharing with me. I am so sorry for what you have been through and I will pray for you. Is there any information you can give me about the organization you work with so that I might be able to send people your way? I’m sure you are doing an amazing and life saving work that I want to support if I can.

But, all in all, yes, I agree. But from what information we are privy to, that is the statistic… That doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen and ONE time is too many. I’m committed to the one… everyone of them.

Hey, I’ve posted a lot about rape and for the sake of time I’m going to refer you to those posts. If you have any more questions about it afterwards let me know. I’m going to tag this message as “rape”… click on it and it will take you to a page with what I’ve answered.

And, like I said, if it’s not enough info, write me back.

I hear ya, I wont harass you. =) Study up on it more, think about it, pray pray pray about it and the Lord will speak to you and lead you in the way of truth. That’s the Holy Spirit’s job… he counsels us in the truth. Narly. ((I’m assuming you are a Christian so I will talk to you as such… if you’re not then you soon will be (cuz I’m going to pray for you) so I will talk to you just the same. hahahaha ))

The truth isn’t easy to swallow and in fact think back through your life when you have made the right decision in situations… was it easy? For the most part the right decision is always the difficult one to make. But, a life rightly directed and decided is a blessed one.

We have a hard time with rape because its evil and sadistic, and the right decision is hard in this case. Terribly hard. Be reminded that the truth sets people free and God is good at healing people. haha He’s awesome at it! He can and will and wants to take that pain away. It is NOT and NEVER the mothers fault, or the childs fault. I’m of the opinion the rapist should be strung up on the nearest tree… but, alas, most of the time the rapist gets away with it. It’s awful.

Yet there legitimately is hope and healing in that situation. Abortion doesn’t give the mother any since of justice, ever, it doesn’t fix the fact that she was violated. That wont change if she has the baby or if she doesn’t. Abortion will only bring more pain then guilt in a situation where GUILT should NEVER be added.

Life is the answer.

Think about it. I told you I wouldn’t harass you, but… haha I just kept writing. my bad bro. I totally still like you! haha

I do not agree with you in cases of rape. Rape is horrific, terrible, I can’t find bad enough words to add to describing how I feel about rapists. Women who have been raped need help, they have been severely violated and abortion is just another violation. The unborn are human and are living from the moment they come to be (conception) and should have a right to life from that point on. If the unborn is a human life, then no circumstance justifies a voluntary abortion.

If a mother is dieing and is pregnant and the life saving procedure is to end the pregnancy, then that is not a voluntary abortion. That is justifiable. There is no reason for 2 to die, the mother’s life is priority.

With that said. I wanted to give you a highfive and to post this anyway because I like you. haha. Even though you’re anon. haha =)

My friend, that is not what I was saying… at all. AT ALL! I was answering a very stupid question with a snappy answer.

Yes i have guns, i carry a gun, have my license and everything. But I am no better than you.

I am so sorry for what you went through and I would never willfully disrespect you. Forgive me if that is how you felt. I am for you and thank you for sharing this with me.

I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I can’t even imagine. I am so sorry and if you need anything you let me know! Sincerely. I will move mountains. You did nothing to deserve that! That was not your fault! You are so valuable!

How is a rape victim looked down upon by people with my beliefs???????????????????????? If ANYONE looks down on a rape victim the CERTAINLY do not share MY beliefs. NEVER. I don’t know how you ever came to that conclusion and I very rarely get offended but this makes me sick.

I have worked with ministries who rescue women and children from sex trafficking in India and the U.S. I would give my life for them to be rescued from the horrifying conditions and sadistic violations that endure every day.

I would and will and have done everything in my power to help rape victims recover from the worst of battery and abuse and horrific negligence OF WHICH NONE OF THEM DESERVES! They are beautiful and precious and valuable to me and I will give every breath in my body to help them find healing and help.

THAT is what I believe… everyone else can go jump in a lake for all i care if they believe any different about rape victims.

With that said and hopefully very severely understood anon, I will tell you that someone who has endured malice in rape do not need to be violated any more by abortion. Abortion hurts women, it is not an easy fix. The complications are extreme and that is not the answer for rape victims. They deserve more, need more and are provided more than the lie that abortion is the way out of their situation.

Rape is horrible. I am of the opinion that rapists and molesters should be strung up on the nearest tree. The sad reality is most rapists never find their day in court. But God sees and is aware of them. That is for certain.

Now, I would take your accusations of looking down on the hurting elsewhere.

You are a blessing! Rock on friend!

I am so sorry that you had to go through that. It burns me inside when I hear of innocent people who have been violated so severely. Especially children. My chest burns when I hear of such an evil thing. I can’t say how deeply I hurt for you. I am so sorry.

But know this. I am not the judge of that wicked man but I do know that God will hold him accountable for what he did to you. A preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be a protector and helper and teacher.. And he will be judged more harshly for what he has done and said because he/was a teacher.

God has not forgotten you. God adores you. The enemy wishes and wants to destroy you and keep you in a state of defeat for something that WAS AND IS NOT YOUR FAULT! I don’t want that for you, that’s why I’m trying to tell you the truth plainly in this message. As Christians we are called and responsible to call out and REMOVE those who are among us who are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Whatever congregation allowed him to remain their pastor did not do their job and I fear for them. He should be locked up for the rest of his life. I’m not sure of the whole story but I want you to hear me and believe me when I say this… Jesus came to set all men free from the burden of sin and from its punishment that demands our life for all eternity. He set us free from that through his death on the cross. Jesus suffered beyond all comparison and came that we might be forgiven of our sins and NOT CONTINUE TO SIN! People who abuse grace do not receive it continually. You can not plan to sin and expect to be forgiven. Salvation doesn’t work like that. Jesus gave his body to be broken so we would be forgiven, he gave his very life so we would live… That “preacher” (for lack of a better word) spat in the Lord’s face when he did that to you. He should be punished and I am sorry that he hasn’t been. But hear me, I am for YOU! I am on your side because God is on your side and He knows and sees your pain. I will pray for you. You might not accept this now, and I understand… But I just want you to know that I care. You are valuable and precious. You can be angry, but I’m being honest with you. You didn’t deserve that and God will hold him accountable.

Thanks for writing me.

Abortion violates moral code because abortion ends the life of an innocent human being. (there is my thesis statement). 

One thing that you and I need to come to an agreement about before I answer any more of your message is this question… What is the unborn? I’m sure that you and I both agree that ending human life without proper justification violates morality. (if you don’t think it is ever right to take a human life, under any circumstances, then I understand. I’m just laying a ground work). If the unborn is a human life, then abortion ends a human life. If the unborn is NOT a human life, then abortion is totally fine and women should have them. They should be rare, but it should be the woman’s choice.

However, science has established, long ago that the unborn is a human life. The argument about when life begins is NOT a scientific one. In science, that is not an issue. Life begins at fertilization/conception. Period.

Lets move on. I often find myself trying imagine how I would feel if I were in another woman’s shoes who was in a crisis pregnancy and I recognize that no matter how hard I try, I am not able to understand what they go through. Rape is awful, it is one of the most disgusting and evil assaults on a person there is. I burn inside when I think about it because I can’t stand it and I would and will do everything I can to help someone who is a victim of rape or molestation.

There is no “but” to that.

Abortion ends the life of a human being, and a rape victim is worth more than abortion. She has already been deeply violated and an abortion would only add to that and continue to violate her body. Abortion is not healthy, it is not safe. A woman or child who has been raped and conceives needs to heal. Abortion is not a fix, it is another assault on her body.

Never in the above paragraph did I say that continuing on in the pregnancy would be easy. Neither did I say that everything would turn out to be roses and sunshine. However, what I tried to spell out is the correct and right and best way for a woman to be taken care of in that horrible situation.

So, please hear me. I deeply care. Ha, i shouldn’t even have to say that. The reason I have this blog is to help women and to give them resources who are in a rough situation. I have gotten lots of messages and been able to do all I could to help. Not because I’m a cool person, but because its my job as a human being to stand up for what is right and to help the hurting. Period.

And its your job to do the same. So think about it. Let me know what you think. I hope I explained it well enough for the most part.
