In 31 States, Rapists Are Allowed to Seek Custody of The Children Born As A Result of Their Crime

Yes, you read that correctly! In 31, that's in thirty-one states a rapist can seek custody of the child conceived as a result of his crime! Yes, in more than 60% of the states in this country, a man can rape a women, and if she conceives as a result and carries her baby to term, he can block an adoption and/or seek custody of this child. And since it is estimated that more than 25,000 women conceive each year as a result of the crime of rape, this impacts a larger number of women and their babies than most people realize!

Why aren't the feminists tackling this "War on Women and Their Children?"

When Shauna Prewitt was raped as a 21-year-old, and conceived her daughter as a result of the rape, she made the brave decision to have her baby and raise her. She had no idea that her rapist could and would come after her daughter, seeking custody.

Today Shauna is a legal scholar and author. You are an amazing woman, Ms. Prewitt! And your story will continue to inspires others and make a difference in the lives of women and children around the world!

I encourage you to also read her story from CNN.

Thank You Patty (and Thanks to Your Birthmom, Too!) For Your Live Saving Work

Patty, who was conceived in rape, honors her birthmother for giving her life. She also stands up for those like her, who cannot speak for themselves, by standing outside a Planned Parenthood facility during 40 Days for Life, giving face and voice to those whom many would seek to kill through abortion, supposedly as an act of mercy toward the raped woman.

Be sure to view the video of Patty, honoring her birthmom, at the end of the article!

I Am Not an Exception, I Just Have an Exceptional Story!

In June of 2008, Kristi Hofferber decided it was time to ask her adoptive parents about her birth parents. What she found out about her birth parents was the biggest shock of her life!

What she learned was that her birth mother was repeatedly molested by her father and as a result, became pregnant with Kristi. Out of years of abuse and torture, Kristi was the only survivor of six children who had been conceived in incest. Kristi says, "I am not an exception, I just have an exceptional story!"

Kudos to you, Kristi, for the courage you show us in sharing your powerful story!

Wouldn’t There be Outrage!?

What if a certain amount of the population were a specific racial group, and some claimed they were “demon seed?” Wouldn’t there be outrage!?

What if a law was proposed to limit abortions for everyone except the 1% of those people in that minority group. Would you support it? Because 99% would be saved. Or would you be the person who is able to see the prejudice and bigotry that is harbored against that 1%?

That is the question that Mary Rathke wants us to consider. Why? Because she is part of that 1%.

Mary challenges us, "How sad that so many who purport to champion the cause of the unborn, consider me “an exception”. But I’m NOT an exception…I am a human being, just like any other pre-born human being."

Read Mary's story and challenge yourself if you think abortion in cases of rape is "OK" and acceptable. You can also read her blog and get a greater insight into this issue and the inestimable value that every human being has, yes, especially those conceived from rape!
