Daughter Conceived in Rape is a “Diamond in the Rough”

Monica Kelsey always knew she was adopted, but it wasn’t until age 37 that she learned the circumstances of her conception. Monica’s birthmother was brutally raped and became pregnant at 17 years old. Even though abortion was illegal in 1972, she sought an abortion to get “her life back.” After being taken to a secretly located abortion facility, Monica’s birthmother had second thoughts because she knew the procedure was illegal. Thank you Monica for being courageous enough to share your amazing story with the world!

Thank You, Rebecca Kiessling, for Saving A Life in Germany!

Rebecca Kiessling, herself conceived in rape, saved a life in Germany, without even knowing it! A woman there found Rebecca's story online and it resulted in a mom choosing life for her own child, who was also conceived in rape. My hope and prayer is that all of these true stories will continue to save lives. Do you have a story? Do you know of someone conceived in rape who would share their story? If so, please leave a comment below and I will contact you.

My Birthfather Is A Rapist But That Doesn’t Define Me

Monica Kelsey is a firefighter and medic, who says she has "pretty much seen it all." Seeing these emergencies and catastrophes in the field brings emotions also. But the biggest emotional roller coaster of her life came when she heard that she was conceived during a despicable act. She never thought she would hear the words "conceived in rape" when she reconnected with my birthmother a few years ago.

But she does NOT let the circumstances surrounding her conception define her or limit her. Read Monica's powerful story, and say a prayer for her, won't you?

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.

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!
