Imagine the impact on your self perception should pro-life politicians sacrifice your protection on the altar of political expediency. What crime merits federal legislation to subsidize your termination? This is exactly the plight of people conceived in rape and incest.Penalties for the perpetrators include jail time but not the death penalty. But, in totally irrational and thoughtless fashion, the death penalty is urged upon the innocent co-victims of rape.
Rebecca Kiessling survived her conception by rape only because of the principled and merciful legislators of Michigan who made it illegal to abort even in the case of rape.
Today she is a lawyer and an articulate speaker for others like herself -- "the one percent" who no longer enjoy the same protection. Her passion can help to break through the rhetoric and allow people to regain rationality and thought.
