Asserts the conservative pro-life activist, about the conservative Republican politico's controversial statement in response to whether or not he supports abortion in the case of rape: "Anyone with half a brain could understand his comments to mean
God intended life to happen, not rape. But mainstream media doesn’t rely
upon intellect, but raw, uninformed emotion. They keep the issue in the
abstract, careful not to humanize it to show why a prolife conviction
would embrace even a child conceived in such circumstances."
He continues his commentary: "Less than 1% of abortions are a result of rape, incest or protecting the
physical health of the mother. Yet liberal media attacks on Richard
Mourdock, Todd Akin,
Paul Ryan, Ann Marie Buerkle, Star Parker, Michele Bachmann, Dr. Alveda
King, Charmaine Yoest, and other publicly prolife leaders have one
goal: to justify 100% of abortions. In that process, the media and its
abortion allies obscure what we’re actually talking about — human life."
Mr. Bomberger argues that the father's sins shouldn't be taken out on the child: "I am the 1%. And there are many others out there who offer a similar
story of being born as a result of rape. We are the tangible examples
that Planned Parenthood
and pro-abortion activists love to hate. We present another side of the
story — not one promoting legislative agendas, but one that personalizes
this issue so recklessly and carelessly handled by mainstream media.
There are real lives at stake, and abortion only allows us to pretend
that those lives don’t exist."
