Clergy need to get this one right! Save The 1 has published two recent stories in which the pregnant rape victims’ clergy not only advised them that’s it’s acceptable to abort, but actually encouraged them to do so. One rape victim went through with the abortion, and the other did not. In other words, a […]
Just touch one, Lord. . . . My repeated prayer ever since I first told my story almost twenty years ago has been the same — for the Lord to somehow use my saga of shame and regret to help someone else. He’s always answered. The first time I shared my testimony publicly, a woman came up […]
Alabama urgently needs to pass The Rape Survivor Child Custody Act, to terminate the parental rights of rapists and to suspend any custody or visitation. Last week, a rape survivor mom from our network, J.C., published her story in our Save The 1 blog, “From Age 13, My Uncle Raped and Impregnated Me, But The […]
I saw the recent news that Governor Tom Wolf vetoed the 20 week abortion ban here in Pennsylvania, highlighting the fact that the ban had no rape exception — even though he knows darn well he would have vetoed the bill anyway.

During my pregnancy, I read stories of other women who had become pregnant by rape, sometimes twice daily. Those stories were a source of hope and made me feel like I wasn’t alone and reaffirmed that it was normal to love my child. I’m writing my story now in the hope that other woman will […]
I had my son, Daniel, when I was 16 years old. There have been challenges, but he has been my saving grace. Now, at age 6, he is a fantastic student, a loving big brother, and a wonderful son. He has been a huge blessing in my life, as well as the lives of our family members. My son […]
I’m finally ready to tell my story about having become pregnant by rape because the more of us that tell our stories, the better chance we have of being heard. This is hard for me, but we have to start somewhere first. When I was 18, I was supposed to go on a double […]
Irish Pro-Choice Advocates Try To Silence Rape Victims, by Sarah St. Onge A fierce battle is being waged in Ireland over the “8th Amendment”.
