The latest video<\/a> in Live Action\u2019s \u201cPro-Life Replies\u201d<\/a> series was released today in response to the often-heard claim, \u201cAbortion is justified in cases of rape.\u00a0You can\u2019t force a rape survivor to carry a pregnancy to term.\u201d For some, the idea of a woman carrying to term a child conceived in rape is an unfathomable injustice. For others, the idea of eliminating that child’s life simply because of how he or she was conceived is an equally unfathomable injustice. One thing on which we all agree is that rape itself is a horrific injustice, and that survivors need and deserve resources for help and healing — and those who assaulted them must be punished to the fullest extent of the law.<\/p>\n

Stephanie Reynolds, featured in Live Action’s video below, was conceived in rape.\u00a0“When someone says that children conceived in rape should be aborted, they are talking about me,” she says. “My mother saw that my life was not worth less than anyone else’s simply because of the way I was conceived, and that I should not be put to death for the crimes of my father.” It may surprise people to learn that many rape survivors who become pregnant through sexual assault choose life for their babies.
