Pro-Life, Even In Cases of Rape and Incest

By Douglas V. Gibbs

I was watching a debate on Fox News today over the Tim Tebow ad for Focus on the Family that was played during the Super Bowl. The woman arguing against the advertisement was angry because she felt the ad, and the pro-life position of Focus on the Family, was trying to take away a woman's choice to "use reproductive health care." In other words, the pro-choice gal was afraid pro-life messages would endanger a woman's right to "choose" to kill her baby.

If she was truly pro-choice, wouldn't she celebrate "choice" either way?

I find it difficult to believe that a woman, who should naturally desire to nurture and protect her child, would even consider choosing to kill her own kid.

Abortion is definitely wrong. No matter how you slice it, it is the taking of a human life. Life begins at conception. We are fashioned in our mother's womb, showing evidence of being alive at the moment of the first cell division. By the twenty-first day the baby's heart is beating. From the moment of conception there is a progression of development that continues through adulthood. The genocide of the unborn is a terrible blot on our society.

As horrific as the idea of killing our own children is, the most radical abortionists, like Barack Obama, even supports leaving aborted babies that survived the process lying on a table gasping for breath, to die.

How did we get to the point that we have stopped considering our children to be gifts of God? In biblical times women prayed not to be barren. How could a righteous woman turn against her own children to destroy them? Abortion is not only unthinkable, it is also the height of pagan barbarity.

To justify their support for the murder of the unborn, pro-abortion types will throw the examples of rape and incest into the argument. In fact, Scott Brown was criticized because of his stance on legislation that allowed those who had a religious abhorrence to abortion, or contraception, to not be required to give the abortion pill to rape victims. The liberal-minded figures, I suppose, that nobody can bring themselves to say that a woman, after being defiled by rape or incest, should be expected to continue with the pregnancy.

I am pro-life, even in cases of rape and incest.

Does the law allow murder if you kill persons of certain groups?

And before you decide to attempt to crucify me for my stance, read about the testimonies of women who were conceived in rape and incest, and ask them if they enjoy their lives. Ask them if they would have preferred their mothers killed them in the womb.

The following list of individuals will be giving their conceived in rape and incest testimonies in Yonkers, New York on March 8, 2010:
