A reporter once asked me if Democrats for Life of America opposed abortion but allowed for the “usual exceptions” of rape, incest, and life of the mother. When I told him “no exceptions,” he asked why. I replied, “Because it is never not a child.” Never, ever, does the subject to be aborted turn into something […]
The South Carolina legislature is working to pass a 20-week abortion ban that will not include rape or incest exceptions; however it will have an exception. Dr. Robert Ridgeway, democrat representative, said their committee decided to add exceptions only for “fetal anomaly.” “Ridgeway, a trained medical doctor, said that the fetal anomaly exception should be […]
Should Babies From Rape Be Allowed To Live? SaveThe1.com 1%…The Least of These. Many people who are uncomfortable with abortion being used as birth control will make an exception to their generally pro-life world view in the case of rape.

“I was offered termination at 23 weeks. That was the 4th doctor to offer it and she said God wasn’t punishing me… And if I tried again there was only a 1% chance of it happening to me again.” Jennifer Giddens was told that she was pregnant with a child who had Trisomy 18 also […]
To my best friend, We’ve been friends for years — through breakups, through laughter, through tears, through margarita Tuesdays and hangover Wednesdays. We’ve laughed so hard at inside jokes that we’ve both been laying on the kitchen floor and getting weird looks from the rest of our friends. About a week ago, I took you […]
On Friday, February 20, 2015, I went to the New Mexico Roundhouse to speak out in support of HB 390 Late-term Abortion Ban — without the rape exception. My family and I got there early, and I was excited, but nervous! This was a big step for me on so many levels. While I have […]
In 2010 my unborn daughter was diagnosed with a lethal birth anomaly. We continued our pregnancy, much to the consternation of our physicians, and she lived for almost two hours after birth. As the mother of a child who was diagnosed in the womb with a life limiting condition, I take a keen interest in abortion […]
I really hate politics. The whole idea of manipulating people to achieve a goal is nauseating to me. Playing people like chess, politicians use misinformation and disinformation far too often. Lest you think Pro-Life advocates are pure and undiluted, let’s look at HR36. Congress put forth a bill in 2013 called the Pain Capable Unborn […]
In my experience as a nurse, there have been so many times that others in the medical field ignore the dignity of the person to whom care is delivered. For a supervisor, walking in on a bed bath or other personal procedure is no deterrent to getting their job done. “It’s just a body, I’ve […]
From the heart of a mother, who grieves every time she hears of another rape exception in a piece of legislation: I was extremely disappointed once again to hear that my son and others like him were targeted for termination in the newly-introduced Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Let me tell you why. We live […]
