On June 24, 2015 I was raped by the one person that was never supposed to hurt me — my husband. At his hands, I suffered a long history of domestic violence, unwanted sexual encounters, attempted murder and a miscarriage. I hadn’t had sex with my husband since the end of April because he […]
I was very disappointed to hear the horrible news on Monday that in a 3-2 vote, a Senate panel in Chile had agreed to move legislation forward to legalize abortion “in three causes” — if a woman says her preborn child was conceived in rape, if a doctor says a preborn child has a “fatal […]
My name is Elizabeth and I live in Costa Rica. While attending university I was raped and I got pregnant with a beautiful girl who, at the time, I wanted to abort. Of course, as a young person who took care of herself — a good girl — I felt I did not deserve to […]

I’m the President of Save The 1 – a global pro-life organization of over 450 who were conceived in rape (like me) and mothers who became pregnant by rape who are either raising their children, birthmothers, or post-abortive.

I am a mom and pro-life neonatologist — a doctor who takes care of premature and critically ill babies in the NICU — Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This specialty is not something I had ever heard of as a child, nor was I aware that being “pro-life” or specifically anti-abortion was even reasonable. I grew […]
Hi everyone, my name is Bethany, from Ecuador, and I’m 19 years old. When I was about 8-10 years old I learned that I was conceived in rape. At that tender age, I did not understand what that meant, but as I grew up, my mother told me more about her experience. At age 23, […]
My first response to the news that a judge in Brazil cited gender equality as a reason for decriminalizing abortion in that country is “Gender equality?!? A woman alone can make the decision… How is that equal? What about the fathers? She cannot get pregnant without him. The baby is his too! What about the […]
