Conceived in Rape: God is My Father

March 11, 2010 by Gerard M. Nadal

I didn’t write yesterday. I couldn’t. It wasn’t a day for writing. It was a day for processing all that I saw and heard at a United Nations conference the day before. The first session that I attended was conducted by a panel of eight women and one man who were conceived in rape, and in one case, incest. These were the very people whose conception is held out as the ultimate justification for legalized abortion. Executing the child for the father’s crime.

There are those moments in life when another person allows us into the inner-sanctum of their being, that sacred ground where the reality of soul and eternity become the very substance of the encounter. Yesterday was such a day for me. I’ve met plenty of young women conceived in rape and incest in my seven years on staff at Covenant House. I know all too well the shame and worthlessness, the self-destructiveness that comes to many who live with the unresolved struggle of identity. Yesterday was different. Yesterday was Easter; the resurrection, the glorified bodies, the light of love shining in the filth and blackness that has become the United Nations, which promotes abortion on a scale that simply beggars the imagination.

Yesterday Lent simply vanished. Yesterday I was treated to death being swallowed up in victory.

First up was Juda Myers, who challenged the attendees. “Look around. You can’t tell who was conceived with wine and roses and who was conceived on a street corner.” Juda shared her testimony, (on her site in the link in her name above). She made a great point when she observed that we save generations by saving one life.

Rebecca Kiessling is perhaps the most widely known of all the presenters whose stories are all listed on her site. Click on her name above. Rebecca said what so many others said in so many ways when she stated, “My mother’s rapist is not my Creator. God is my Father.”

Click here to watch Rebecca’s story. It’s worth the entire 9:59:

Read the stories at Rebecca’s site. Watch the videos. This woman and her cohort are demolishing the argument over rape and incest. When you go to Rebecca’s site, be sure to read Liz’s story. After the meeting yesterday, Liz ( a young college student) told me that the only thing worse than the rape she endured would have been an abortion. She admitted that her pregnancy was a psychological hell, but that her baby changed all of that. Encountering him in the open adoption that she has with his adoptive parents, this tiny child has been her healing and salvation. “He was soooo worth it,” she cooed over and over, emphasizing ‘so’ each time.

Tony Kiessling (no relation to Rebecca), a fellow scientist, an Organic Chemist (They’re gods to me), said it all when he quoted Romans 8, “ALL things work together for good for those who love the Lord.”

More in the weeks to come.

    […] Can you tell which person was conceived by rape? No. Not really. […]

    Ironically, abortion mills have made it possible for a rapist to force his victim into abortion, destroying all evidence of his crime. The mills do not report rape and that is a well known fact as documented by Lila Rose’s undercover stings on Planned Parenthood. So, abortion for rape and incest has increased both crimes and millions of innocent children have paid the price.

    It is even clearer that abortion for incest only helps the abuser, and continues the child rape time after time. If you think about it, the child is afraid to speak out, the abuser destroys the evidence, and it continues. Whereas if the child got pregnant, someone would notice, a DNA test would be done, and the family rapist would be caught and punished. Now it just continues.

    Awesome video. God bless Rebecca and her witness. Does anyone know where I could buy a print of the wonderful painting of the baby in God’s hands?

    It was so awesome to part of that panel at the United Nations…. when people hear our stories, they say they now have an argument as to why abortion of rape victims is not right…. I would be dead! We put a face to those who people say should be killed, because of how we were conceived. Who says I should have died, for the crime of my father? Deut 24:16 Everyone will die for their own sin – not a child for his/her fathers’ sin. Only for what one has done THEMSELF, may they be killed. My life is not dependent on whether I was conceived in love, or in hate… I have a right to life, because I am human! My life started when half the dna of my father and half the dna of my mother combined, to make… ME!!! … a unique individual. You should have seen the people at the UN in Geneva a few weeks ago, when I said that to them. The bible is full of stories of people God placed in the womb of their mother, and already, as unborn child, had been given a big work to do in their lives. Who knows whose life we are snuffing out, when we kill our children through abortion? I still regret killing my child after I myself was raped. Legalized abortion that pressures… yikes. Who knows what role God had perhaps planned for that person? We who were conceived in rape are innocent! Even the Convention on the Rights of the Child (ratified by 192 countries… just America and Somalia haven’t included it) says that a child is to considered “innocent until proven guilty” …. (Proverbs 24:11 says: Don’t hesitate to rescue someone who is about to be executed unjustly. Don’t say, “I didn’t know it!” God can read your mind. He watches each of us and knows our thoughts. And God will pay us back for what we do)
