A pro-life woman has uploaded the beautiful testimony of her mother who chose to keep her after she was conceived in rape 50 years ago.

The mother, Ann Phillips, tells how she was gang-raped by eight men in 1956 as she was on the way home from seeing Charlton Heston’s The Ten Commandments.

When she found out three months later that she was pregnant, her parents wanted her to abort the child.  But, she says, “I didn’t believe in destroying her, so I had her and they forced me to give her up.”

Several years ago her daughter looked her up, and they have been “close ever since,” says Ann.  “I love her with all my heart.”

“You ladies of the world, you don’t have to abort your babies. You can give them up for adoption,” urges the now elderly woman. “Give them away. Don’t abort them. The baby is a life from the moment of conception on. So please, in God’s name, keep them.”
