Another Rape Victim Keeps Her Baby

By Darrow Miller • March 10, 2015

Recently we published the stories of Rebecca Kiessling and Valerie Gatto, two women conceived in rape whose mothers refused to abort them.

Now here’s a similar story, this time told from the mother’s perspective.

When Lianna Rebolledo was raped at 12 years of age, she was counselled to abort her baby. But she could not see the compassion or even the logic in that scheme of things: “Why should I have the abortion if I’m not going to forget the rape? … It wasn’t my baby’s fault.”

Go here to read, and watch, Lianna’s life-affirming testimony.
