MAGA nominee for MI Governor Tudor Dixon is asked why she is against a 14 year-old rape victim being allowed to get an abortion. She says the bond that rape victims will have with their babies will help them heal.

I speak as a rape victim who is grateful everyday I didn't get pregnant. Unfortunately it was my first sexual experience. May the superior power above correct the evil that overturned Roe v Wade. May God become law of the land.

(25,948 posts)Has he been raped, gotten pregnant from the rape, and then healed by having that baby?
No? Hmmm. I wonder why he thinks he can speak for such people.

Children can detect when they are not wanted. These pro-birth people never think about the long term affect on the child.
