So, for this story to be credible, the woman needs to provide evidence to the reader that she was raped for it to be believed? The fact that a respected pro-life news outlet vouches for her credibility isn't enough?
Not my statement. I have no idea what the author meant.
No, it was Age of Reason who wrote:
If she didn’t abort the rapist’s kid, then it wasn’t rape.
However, it was posted in response to this statement by YOU:
do believe that it is not conducive to honest debate to insult and mischaracterize speakers who do not feel that they have enough evidence to come to conclusions.
You are writing about OTHERS whom you defended throughout your post #63.
You referenced the rape kit. No proof of anything here. Purely a “she said.”
Got it, a respected pro-life news source isn't credible for what they report.
Sorry, but I respectfully submit that a simple yes or no will not suffice here. I just don't have enough information to go on. Great story, but lots of questions in my mind about the authenticity. Like the Rolling Stone and UVA rape stories, this made a good read, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
There is absolutely no similarity between this story and the Rolling Stone story. This is about a rape victim choosing to love her child. Rolling Stone was an unverified attack on a respected university.
So, I will ask again:
Do you believe that the pro-life movement is somehow so unscrupulous that they would fabricate a story about a baby conceived in rape?
There is absolutely no reason that you would be unable to answer this. I am not asking if you believe the woman's story is true, I'm asking if you think the pro-life movement would fabricate a story.
“”The fact that a respected pro-life news outlet vouches for her credibility isn’t enough?””
You know I’m on your side I hope, but the fact that a website or publication (Rolling Stone) vouches for the credibility of someone doesn’t mean squat these days.
Just a couple of days ago someone posted an article from Life Site News about an ex-porn guy and how he turned his life around. He was arrested for child molestation 2 days after it was published at Life Site News. I do not know if that article was removed.
As a matter of fact, Donny Pauling is quoted and is still featured in many archived articles at Life Site News as some sort of porn expert or something.

So while I agree with you and your argument, that one line doesn’t work.
That quote was Post 17.
I didn't jump in until Post 57, I'm pretty sure. I don't think that comment was made in response to anything I said.
Why so much anger and vituperation? My sole purpose in questioning the story was not to hurt anybody, but to ask questions about the credibility of the story. I had no intention of demeaning the publication or the cause for which it advocates
If I'm going to be labeled as evil for wanting to verify sources of information, maybe I should leave this site.
