Pro-Life Wisconsin does oppose abortion in ALL cases.JSOnline
Rape and incest are both criminal acts, and in our system of justice we punish the criminal. We do not punish the victim, nor do we punish the criminal's children.
Rape is an act of violence inflicted upon a woman. She is an innocent victim, and this knowledge may someday help her come to terms with the rape and rebuild her life. Abortion, on the other hand, is an act of violence that a mother inflicts on her own child. Through abortion, the mother becomes the aggressor, and this knowledge may haunt her long after she has dealt with the rape. Women - even those who were victims of sexual assault - have reported years of physical, emotional and psychological difficulty after their abortions. Abortion did not solve their problems; it merely created additional ones.
The compassionate response to rape is to meet the real needs of the mother. Providing life-affirming medical, financial and emotional care meets these needs, and pro-life groups across Wisconsin - more than 100 crisis pregnancy centers and groups like Life After Assault League - are doing this work.
Abortion takes the life of a living human being. The circumstances of conception may have been criminal, but the life of the newly-created human being is just as valuable as any other person's. We do not put criminal's innocent children to death in our culture; it simply isn't done.
It should not be done in this situation, either.
