I recently testified before both the Ohio Senate committee and House committee in support of the Heartbeat bill as someone conceived in rape and as a pro-life attorney. In the Senate, despite being the last to testify after four hours of proponent testimony, I was asked questions by a pro-choice Democrat on the committee. However, […]
I first started dating him when I was 18 and he was respectful for the most part. Initially we were just friends and when we were in a relationship, we weren’t intimate at all.

American Thinker published an article by Elise Cooper. Her title, The Rape Exception, got attention. The message was that Republicans should leave the exceptions in laws. It is this thinking that has brought us abortion on demand. I will take this apart paragraph by paragraph. Elise’s first assertion, in paragraph 1, is that rape conception […]
The Editors at National Review, not their real names, have decided that the pro-life candidates for president should back off from a 100% pro-life, no exceptions stand on abortion. I do wonder if we were talking about their demographic, if they would have the same opinion. For example, if there were open season on reporters […]
I am a birthmother from rape. I know what many people think about abortion in cases of rape, and I’m sharing my story to give an alternate point of view to consider. I can understand how this issue might tug on your heart, and how it may seem really hard to consider it realistic to […]
