A pastor who allegedly abused a 4-year-old said women will “clamor to put old boyfriends behind bars...to dispense with the inconvenience of giving birth.”
“A baby is the only beautiful thing that can come from rape,” she said.
Most rape survivors who testified supported Boyd’s bill. One survivor wept as she said that if she hadn’t been able to have an abortion she may have died by suicide. Morgan Lamandre, the president and CEO of Sexual Trauma Awareness and Response , said that she used to be vice president of the anti-abortion club at her high school, but changed her mind after working with sexual assault survivors. She pointed out that forcing a person to carry a rapist’s baby is only further traumatizing them.
The House Criminal Justice Committee then killed the bill in a 10-5 vote. All of the Republicans on the committee voted against adding the exception. One Republican representative, Tony Bacala, he was voting against it because its author, Rep. Boyd, is the product of rape, and she turned out to be a good person.
