Many pro-life activists have been writing and conversing this past week about Senator Marco Rubio’s recent defense of his no exceptions position, while he justifies his sponsorship of rape-exception legislation. As someone conceived in rape and nearly aborted, I’m grateful for his verbal defense of every life, no matter how conceived, but I’m also deeply troubled by some of his comments […]
Since HR36, Congress’ Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, did not follow solid pro-life principles, (a discriminatory rape/incest exception was included), debate on the floor of the House of Representatives resulted in some unintended consequences. Did anyone else notice this? The Democratic Party representatives — the radically pro-abortion House members who testified in opposition to HR36, […]
Should Babies From Rape Be Allowed To Live? SaveThe1.com 1%…The Least of These.

As someone who is conceived in rape, who has dealt with the trauma and stigmatization that this conception story engenders, (I now see my story as a gift), it is very exciting to see an increase in awareness on this issue.

New Mexico is currently the late-term capitol of America, so understandably, with a new Republican majority in the House, pro-life legislators and activists are making a push to get late-term abortion banned in New Mexico. Although New Mexico also has a pro-life Republican Governor – Susana Martinez, it still has a solidly Democrat-controlled Senate (25-17.) […]
The only way to overturn Roe v Wade is to stop the exceptions! Did you know that Norma McCorvey – “Jane Roe” — was told by her lawyers to say she was gang-raped, in order to make her case stronger to obtain an abortion? Today, her daughter is alive because the Texas Court protected them […]
Pro-life leaders, pundits and bloggers are up in arms now because Republican Congresswoman Renee Ellmers — NC, (along with at least five other female Republicans,) is protesting the terms of the rape exception within the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act – H.R. 36, also known as the 20-week abortion ban.
