Woman Conceived in Rape Accuses Donnelly of Exploiting Her Life for Political Gain

"Hearing the words from Richard Mourdock, I was actually relieved."

 

So says Monica Kelsey, a woman conceived in rape, speaking in a web video put out by the Indiana Right to Life PAC. The video is responding to a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee advertisement for Joe Donnelly, who is running against Richard Mourdock in Indiana's U.S. Senate race. The race experienced a new twist after Mourdock suggested a child conceived in rape was still a gift from God.

 

"I don't think that anyone should deserve the death penalty simply for the acts of their father," says Kelsey in the video.

In fact, Kelsey goes after Donnelly for exploiting her life and women who have been raped for political gain.

 

Hers is a voice that has been incredibly overlooked when debating a rape exception for abortion. She recounts in the video how the only reason her mother ended up not getting an abortion in 1972 (despite a visit to a "back alley" location) was that she felt she was breaking the law. She never looked at Kelsey, who was adopted when she was six weeks old and didn't reconnect with her birth family until she turned 21.

This is an amazing video. AMAZING.

 

And it starts with one fundamental thing that I think most first time parents, and young people forget. (Not to mention far to often forgotten by leftists) Children are not about you. They are their own people, and to deprive them of the opportunity to live is perhaps one of the most selfish, self-serving and immoral things you can do.

 

That should be thought of first.
