My 11 year old cousin was raped by a hired caretaker and my sister wants her to get an abortion. How can I talk to them about this?!

Although you are clearly attempting to paint me into a corner and demonstrate how extreme I am when it comes to protecting innocent human life, I’m still going to provide an answer in the hope that my response might spark something deep within you.
Meet Ashley and Aiden. Ashley was raped by one of her brother’s friends when she was 13 years old and became pregnant. Ashley knew that her son was innocent and that he should not have to pay for the crimes of his father with his life.
Ashley, now 15, is a freshman in high school and has adapted to her new role as student and young mother and is excelling in her classes as a straight A student.
Nothing in this often challenging life ever warrants the killing of an innocent child. Abortion only serves to bring ever more pain to our fallen world — and create more victims.
