<\/div>

Last month, Wisconsin\u2019s state senate passed SB 179. Known as the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act<\/a>, it bans most abortions after 20 weeks\u00a0–\u00a0the point when evidence suggests that a baby can suffer pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Abortion advocates are trying to rally opposition, but it\u2019s not an easy task: polls show most Americans (and women in particular<\/a>) are deeply uncomfortable with late-term abortion. Given that, I\u2019m sure many opponents are working hard to make their criticism sound as reasonable and well thought out as possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then you\u2019ve got stuff like this:<\/p>\n

\"Pro-rapeThat was left under a Facebook post<\/a> from the Population Connection Action Fund<\/a> criticizing Gov. Scott Walker\u2019s support for the bill.\u00a0 Other commenters wanted to see Gov. Walker get raped and wished that he\u2019d been castrated as a child. Please reference this the next time someone tries to blame pro-lifers<\/i> for poisoning the debate.<\/p>\n

What has them upset is the fact that the legislation doesn\u2019t allow abortions in cases of rape or incest, resulting in what one commenter called \u00a0\u201crape babies.\u201d You see that term used a lot to describe children who were conceived via sexual assault; \u201crape spawn\u201d and \u201cevil seed\u201d are other popular labels. These epithets seem intended to conjure up images of hideous, frightening creatures…<\/p>\n

\"Miss<\/p>\n

…which is definitely not what I\u2019m seeing here. That\u2019s 2014\u2019s Miss Pennsylvania USA Valerie Gatto, and she is (in her words) \u201ca child of rape<\/a>.\u201d Conceived when her mother was raped at 19, Gatto is an advocate for sexual assault awareness. She\u2019s also a human being.<\/p>\n

So is Rebecca Kiessling<\/a>. Her biological mother was raped in 1968 and has admitted that she would have aborted Rebecca if it had been legal to do so. Raised by adoptive parents, Kiessling is now an attorney, an activist, and an adoptive mother herself.<\/p>\n

You can hear more about Kiessling\u2019s story at website called Conceivedinrape.com<\/a>. In addition to children conceived in rape, it also features their mothers. While the stories are different, there is one theme that doesn\u2019t change. As rape survivor Jackie Evans explains, \u201cMy child was conceived in rape—that doesn\u2019t make her less than human.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not that it matters to abortion proponents—they\u2019re fine with making a child pay for what her father did.\u00a0 Most people would rather punish rapists, but that’s not always easy to do, especially when the abortion industry is ready to help cover up their crimes.<\/p>\n

It certainly helped Gary Cross<\/a>: he brought his 13-year-old stepdaughter to Planned Parenthood after impregnating her. Although she was below the age of consent, staff didn\u2019t go to authorities. They did, however, refer the victim for a late-term abortion, thus hiding the abuse. Cross went back to raping her when she got home.<\/p>\n

Fellow child rapists Timothy Smith<\/a>, John Blanks, Jr.<\/a>, John F. Szorady <\/a>and Adam Gault<\/a> also took their victims in for a cover-up abortion, as did these 50 other<\/a> sexual predators. So did the father of Denise Fairbanks<\/a>; she sued Planned Parenthood, claiming clinic staff ignored her when she told them that she’d been abused.<\/p>\n

Accused serial rapist\u00a0Tyler Kost<\/a> apparently got a hand from the abortion industry without even knowing it. When one of his alleged victims went to Planned Parenthood for an abortion, she was told not to report the rape as it would create unwanted paperwork for clinic staff. The Pinal County Sheriff\u2019s Office has said an investigation could have been opened \u201cmonths before<\/a>\u201d if a report had been filed.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

In some countries, people are punished for the crimes of their family members. That might be how things work in North Korea<\/a>, but it doesn’t fit with American values.\u00a0 You can help defend those values by getting behind Wisconsin’s Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, along with similar legislation in other states. You can also also demand that the abortion industry be held to account<\/a> for aiding sexual predators<\/a>. Finally, you can support pregnancy care centers<\/a>, places where vulnerable moms can turn for help. Because while rapists deserve to pay for their crimes, their children don’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
