THE PEACE CORPSE: THE INNOCENT CHILD CONCEIVED IN RAPE -- There's Nothing Peace-ful About Abortion, by Rebecca Kiessling
The liberal
press and abortion advocates are presently celebrating a victory – the $1.1
trillion spending bill passed by the Senate on Sat., December 13, 2014, which
includes unprecedented abortion coverage for Peace Corps volunteers in cases of
rape, incest and “life endangerment.” Think
Progress reports: Government
Spending Bill Quietly Resolves Peace Corps Abortion Coverage Debate . “Quietly” – because not one GOP member of the
House Appropriations
Committee spoke out against it back in June, 2014, although the Republican
committee members had blocked the measure in 2013. In 2014, there was no debate to be had – the GOP
committee members summarily wrote us off, allowing the discriminatory practice
of targeting and killing innocent children for the crimes of our rapist
fathers.
So
is this now to be the standard protocol within Congress whenever a rape
exception is introduced? No
objection? None? Congressman Chris Smith introduced the No
Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Act, with the rape exception already in it. Is this now the norm? I pray that it’s not.

For the record,
those silent Republican House Appropriations Committee members are as follows,
with each one inexplicably enjoying a 100%
approval rating with National Right to Life Committee on their scorecard,
except for Frelinghuysen from New Jersey and Charles W. Dent from Pennsylvania
who both have a 75% approval rating:
- Harold Rogers, Kentucky, Chairman
- Frank R. Wolf, Virginia
- Jack Kingston, Georgia
- Rodney P. Frelinghuysen, New Jersey 75%
- Tom Latham, Iowa
- Robert B. Aderholt, Alabama
- Kay Granger, Texas
- Michael K. Simpson, Idaho
- John Abney Culberson, Texas
- Ander Crenshaw, Florida
- John R. Carter, Texas
- Ken Calvert, California
- Tom Cole, Oklahoma
- Mario Diaz-Balart, Florida
- Charles W. Dent, Pennsylvania 75%
- Tom Graves, Georgia
- Kevin Yoder, Kansas
- Steve Womack, Arkansas
- Alan Nunnelee, Mississippi
- Jeff Fortenberry, Nebraska
- Tom Rooney, Florida
- Chuck Fleischmann, Tennessee
- Jaime Herrera Beutler, Washington
- David Joyce, Ohio
- David Valadao, California
- Andy Harris, MD, Maryland
- Martha Roby, Alabama
- Mark Amodei, Nevada
- Chris Stewart, Utah
In a Lifesitenews
article covering the committee vote last June, pro-life nurse and blogger
Jill Stanek strongly condemned the GOP action:
"This is outrageous. . . . The GOP, whose platform formally
opposes abortion, just passed a pro-abortion bill through one of Capitol Hill's
most influential committees. . . . This
might be good politics in the Beltway, but all the GOP really did was cave to
feminist rhetoric and decide that throwing more taxpayer money to the abortion
industry is acceptable public policy.”
In
the same article, Human Life International Communications Director Adam
Cassandra vehemently defended children conceived in rape and their pregnant
mothers: “further assaulting a woman who
is a victim of rape with the violent act of abortion is in no way a humane or
compassionate response to her situation, and taking the life of that child can
never be justified."
The
Peace Corps’ federal funding provision has had a no-exceptions rider in place
since 1979 barring any of their funding from being used to pay for abortions –
until now. A 35-year precedent, and the
Republicans stood silent.
Reporter
Dustin Siggins, in Lifesitenews’
most recent article on the passage of the “Cromnibus bill”, calls the Peace
Corps abortion funding “the greatest loss for pro-lifers” within the huge
spending package.
My
hope that pro-life activists will become more aware of the blatant
discrimination within these congressional bills, and will rise up to object to
the seemingly now-standard “exceptions.”
It shouldn’t just be the voices of those of us who actually fit into the
“conceived in rape” category, because our class of persons is small. But Jesus made it clear that it is every person’s
duty to protect “the least of these,” and to leave the 99 to save the 1.
