How do you reconcile this? "Rape is a gift from God."

And you know how much I hurt for you. To go 19 weeks and suffer a loss must have been beyond heartbreaking.
K, thank you. You know how much I appreciate you always.

Adgal...so sorry for your losses as well. It is a special brand of pain that's impossible to explain. Changes a person in some ways I think.
SM...thanks so much for the kind words. I appreciate you acknowledging our pain. XOXO

Yes, this man was an idiot for sure. The way he expressed his thoughts was insensitive to any woman having been raped in my opinion.
Nursegirl and Adgal, I'm so sorry for your losses. I know that hurts and I appreciate your trusting us all enough to share your personal stories and feelings. Miscarriage hurts. Adgal, that is wonderful that they do this for families to remember in that way. peace to you both and peace to all.

I can see the pro life argument - and as I've said before, for me life does begin at conception, it's just that I don't consider abortion early in pregnancy to be murder.
For me though, that is not the point of this article. That anyone could use the words "rape is a gift from God" is something I find very very offensive. I can understand arguing not to abort a baby conceived in rape, but not the fact that the violent vicious act that resulted in pregnancy could ever be considered a gift. For me, that is where the problem lies. I don't really see this a pro choice/pro life issue so much as an idiot using unacceptable and offensive language.
And I will finish that thought by saying that I have mourned every single pregnancy I lost - chemical and miscarriage To me that was my baby - I don't care what anyone thinks of me for feeling that way Ask any women who has miscarried multiple (or even 1) wanted pregnancy, and I will guess you will get a similar answer. It hurts....deeply. So yes, I attend a memorial every year at our local hospital. Here, they bury whatever remains there are and there is a garden on the hospital grounds for the family to spend time remembering, mourning or whatever you feel you need to do. And I for one am grateful to have that special place.
