<p>That's Nicholas D'Angelo's stance. And if you <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/27/youre-glad-im-here-but-what-about-other-people-aborted-who-were-conceived-in-rape/">read his story</a>, you'll understand why he is justified in saying this. And his point that, "it is not a matter of 'here' vs 'there'; it is a matter of alive or killed in my most vulnerable state," resonates because he was concieved via a rape.</p>
<p>"Human life is inherently valuable and deserves protection, I beg you to fight for it," Nick also says.

Jennifer Christie is a wife, a mother of 5, and a blogger. She was brutally raped on a snowy, windy night in a strange city where she had travelled for work. She didn't realize she had conceived via the rape until she was struck with dysentery while working for a month on a cruise ship.<br />
Despite enormous pressure from a variety of medical personnel to abort, and an incredibly difficult and physically taxing pregnancy, Jennifer and her husband chose to give LIFE to this little baby.<br />

His life was very vulnerable at one point in time! O'Neil's real name is Thaddeus Bullard and his story begins when his grandmother's boyfriend raped his mother, who was just 11-years-old at the time.</p>

Before she even knew how babies were made, Minka was attacked and raped by a stranger.</p>
<p>She hid what had happened to her from her family and friends — that is, until she realized that her body was changing. It was then that Minka's mother had to explain to her that she was pregnant and to tell Minka for the first time where babies come from. Her mother made the decision to hide her daughter's situation from everyone--even Minka's own sister. When Minka had her baby, she placed her new born daughter for adoption.</p>
<p>For Minka, keeping the baby and her rape a secret became a habit — one she continued throughout her life, concealing it even from those closest to her.
