I was conceived and born in the state of Tennessee, was raped in Tennessee, gave birth to my son who was conceived as a result of rape in Tennessee, and I’m raising my son here in Tennessee, so I have great interest in legislation being considered within my state. Tennessee’s “Heartbeat Bill” passed in the […]
Over the last week and a half, I’ve been advocating on for the Georgia heartbeat bill, called the LIFE Act – HB 481, at the Georgia State Capitol. I’m from Oregon, but as I visited my grandparents in the Atlanta area, it only made sense to take the opportunity to help Georgia’s most vulnerable, and […]
1%. It doesn’t sound like very much. If the sales tax goes up 1% in your town, you may notice the slight increase and may shop somewhere else. If your weight goes up 1% after Thanksgiving, it’s most likely only temporary. If you buy a car with 1% better gas mileage, you may not notice […]
“Your life should be an exception, you shouldn’t be born.” Sounds harsh, right? Can you imagine going up to another human being and telling them they don’t have the right to live? It’s unthinkable some people actually deem it acceptable to look into the eyes of another human being created in the image of God, […]
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. This makes me so angry that politicians think that innocent children like my […]
If you search the name of “Evelyn Beatriz Hernandez Cruz,” you will find a multitude of global news stories written in English about this young woman from El Salvador who was recently sentenced to 30 years in prison for aggravated homicide for the death of her child – all of them saying she was a […]
In this new and fully Republican-controlled legislative session, the 115th Congress, there are currently seven pro-life related bills which have been introduced. There are an infamous five of them which Save The 1 would like to call to your attention and voice a strenuous objection to, as currently written. Why object to a pro-life bill? […]
Are some candidates “more pro-life” than others? Yes! Is it important to know which candidates and which organizations are willing to compromise their pro-life values? Yes, because we’re talking about lethal prejudice. This is not a political game for me. I literally owe my birth to the law being there to protect me. My heroes […]
Yesterday, the 38 Michigan Senators unanimously passed the Rape Survivor Child Custody Act authorizing courts to terminate the parental rights of rapists upon a rape conviction or upon a finding based upon “clear and convincing evidence” that the parent committed “criminal sexual conduct” – the terminology used for rape under Michigan law – and that […]
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 […]
