After a reader read Pastor Chris’ opinion about rape and
abortion, she decided to share her own story. She said she got married 10 years
ago and her husband has not been able to impregnate her, and can’t impregnate
any woman either. But she was raped while in school, and even though it was
tough she kept the baby. Today the girl is her only child despite she has been
married for 10 years. If I had aborted her, I would still be without a child,
she said. Her story;
If you want the truth, I was raped while in school by a guy
who heard I was a virgin and wanted to prove it. He came to apologize weeks
later but that didn't cut it. It still hurts me till tomorrow (psychological
scars). I still remember that day everyday like it was yesterday.But one thing
I constantly prayed for that time was not to end up pregnant. It would be
double tragedy, I said.
Unfortunately, it happened. I got pregnant but did not
terminate it because I felt it was a sin. I contemplated it though several
times but couldn't go ahead with it because of my bible trained conscience.I
even contemplated suicide several times. Thanks to my family though, they stood
by me all through. Eventually, I got married ten years ago. Unfortunately, due
to some medical jargons the doctor is saying my husband cannot impregnate me or
any woman. However, I have my daughter-who is the result of that terrible
situation. She's my life. She is innocent and not responsible for how she came
into this world. So, why should I have taken it out on her? And I will never
stop loving her. Now, if I had terminated the pregnancy, I wouldn't have had
any child.
Unfortunately, I have the authority to speak on this because I know what I am talking about. I am not condoning rape in anyway-it’s the worst thing that can happen to anyone. However, why would you want to worsen the situation by committing murder? Abortion, no matter the circumstances is MURDER; pure and simple.
