This is why rape IS a pro-life issue. We who claim to be pro life, have we donated to or volunteered time with our local rape crisis center? When a woman has been raped (a man as well, men are victims of rape, however, the pregnancy issue is not the same) she deserves to have such great medical, emotional, spiritual, legal and financial help that the thought of abortion would not even cross her mind.
Adoption is also a pro-life issue. We must get rid of the stigma that makes placing a child for adoption a shameful act. We need to teach our kids, from the time that they are children, that women who place their children for adoption are heroes. That they are able to unselfishly choose the best life for their child.
