Only nine states have statutes providing victims of rape with timely access to Plan B emergency contraception. Considering the current fragile state of Roe v. Wade, strong state and federal compassionate care laws may be a rape victim’s only hope of having her right to choose the rest of her life supercede the rapist’s “right” to impregnate her. If the likes of Rep. Gundrum or Pro-Life Wisconsin or Focus on the Family prevail, the man who chooses to rape will win hands down.
“Though many years have passed and I consider myself healed from the rape, there are still times I look at my four children and thank God I’ve never had to explain to one of them that their father was a rapist. I also thank God I am not reminded of that man and of that cold New Year’s morning whenever I look at them but, instead, know that each one of my children was conceived by choice, and in love, and were fathered by a most wonderful man.”
