Abortion is not a compassionate choice for a woman who has been raped. It is another violent act forced upon the body of two innocent victims: the rape survivor and her preborn child.\u00a0 As the debate over abortion reaches new heights across the country, people are speaking up, including many whose mothers were raped and chose life. Their voices deserve to be heard.<\/p>\n
