Why some of us oppose exceptions to rape, incest

Published 1:30 am Friday, October 21, 2022

Political TV commercials focusing on abortion are highlighting exceptions for rape and incest.

As an adult child of rape, I cannot support these exceptions, although I may have empathy for the violated woman and mother. Condoning these exceptions means I would have died. It also means that my entire immediate family would not be here. Further, I would not have been a member of my beautiful adoptive and birth families as well.

I vote no on abortion; I also vote no on rape and incest abortion exceptions. I hope and pray you will too.
