Helene Evans says:
“The negative feelings resulting from the rape were not eliminated by the abortion. Nothing was solved, instead the grief was now doubled …I feel that those who support abortion in cases of rape and incest do not know what they are talking about. What they may think of as an act of mercy is no mercy at all. Abortion does not help or solve a problem- it only compounds and creates another trauma for the already grieving victim by taking away the one thing that can bring joy.”
