Mother Is Reunited With the Baby She Placed for Adoption 77 Years Ago!

It was 1928 when 16-year-old Minka Disbrow’s life was changed forever. Before she even knew how babies were made, Minka was attacked and raped by a stranger.

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.

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. What an amazing story and what a wonderful reunion this mother had seventy-seven years after she placed her daughter for adoption!

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.

Exciting New Organization!

There is a new (to me anyway) organization that is working in the trenches to save the lives of persons conceived via rape. Here is what they say they want to accomplish.

"Living Exceptions is an organization founded by Rape conceived women who want to educate individuals on what it means to be 100% Pro-Life. 60% of Pro-Lifers hold a Rape Exception and we feel that education is the key to these pro-lifers discovering the truth in value of all human life. All Life has value, the woman who's going through the difficult pregnancy and the child who's life hangs in the balance."

I recommend you visit their site for yourself and read the stories of these remarkable individuals!

Two Real Life Stories of Two People Conceived via Rape!

There is a news story out of Elwood, Indiana about a 13-year-old who was pregnant by rape and due to give birth in a few weeks. A compassionate medic read the story and wondered how this took place only 70 miles from her home but didn’t make local news in Fort Wayne or national news. Nonetheless, as a child conceived in rape herself, she got involved and it is still making a positive difference in this young mother's life and the life of her little baby, Aiden. Kelsey Monica writes about her journey with Ashley and how the pro-life community has stepped up to support her. But there's MORE! Kelsey Monica herself was conceived via rape. And now she is busy saving lives as a medic and as a stalwart supporter of those whose lives are threatened by abortion!

Another Brave 11-year-old Stands Up for the Life of Her Baby

Yet another courageous CHILD says NO to having her baby killed, despite being conceive via rape!
She’s an 11-year-old girl from a small, southern and rural Chilean town. And even at this tender age she has known inconceivable hurt and pain. For the better part of the last 18 months her mother’s live-in lover has raped her repeatedly, and then she conceived a child. Sadly, Belén became the tool-du-jour for those who advocate and promote abortion all over Latin America – a region rich with pro-life laws and sentiments which are anathema to regressive pro-abortionists. But then the most remarkable thing happened. This amazing girl went on national television and told her story. She assured everyone that she was aware of the circumstances that had led to her pregnancy, but stated she already loved her baby. Calmly, she told her audience that it was fear that had kept her from reporting the abuse – but that in spite of who the father was, she really wanted this child. Read all of Belén's story and please keep her and her baby in your thoughts and prayers!
