They react to someone conceived in rape, as a vampire reacts to a crucifix, by Rebecca Kiessling
Since returning home from my recent visit to Chile, I’ve been attacked in social media, along with Diana Contreras — a Chilean mother who miscarried after rape — because we both met with a pro-life presidential candidate (José Antonio Kast) during my visit, and the largest newspaper in Chile ran an article about it.

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 […]
