Maine Supreme Court Gets It Right!

A sexual predator in Maine raped a girl when she was 13 and 14-years-old and, after she became pregnant and rejected an abortion, he filed a lawsuit seeking custody of the baby. We have heard and read this story before...right here at Consecrated Children. The good news is that the Maine Supreme Court decided that the rapist is not entitled to custody. Sullivan began sexually abusing Jane Doe when she was 13 or 14 and he was 60. This is a tragic story but good has come from it.

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!

14 and Pregnant! Was Her Life Ruined?

This young girl was the typical, carefree child of the late 1960s and early 1970s. She, her siblings, and friends would run the neighborhood, playing and going from neighbor's house to neighbor's house, from early morning until the porch lights went on.

But then something changed...

Although this woman does not share much about her child conceived in rape, or even give us her name, she tells us her own powerful story of love, acceptance and LIFE!

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!
