Save The 1 Prevent and/or remove r**e exceptions and exceptions for in utero diagnoses of disabled children Are you 100% Pro- Life?

• Our Mission, Our Purpose •

Save The 1 is a 501c3 whose mission is to educate everyone on why all pre-born children should be protected by law and accepted by society, without exception and without compromise. Further, we wish to educate prolife advocates, legislatures, leaders, and clergy on how to articulate a proper defense of children conceived in r**e or in**st, as well as those with special needs. Our purpose is to tell our stories, to demonstrate the value and dignity of our lives, and take the discussion of the “hard cases” from “concept” to “real life”. We strive to reveal the truth that there have been tens of thousands of mothers pregnant by r**e and tens of thousands of r**e conceived children all around us born each year in the U.S., and that there is help, support and hope for all in those circumstances. Have you ever heard these statements: “I’m pro life except in the case of r**e” or, “I’m pro choice, especially in the case of r**e”? Do you know that 90% of Down Syndrome children, detected in utero, are aborted? Have you contemplated what you would do or feel if given a challenging in utero diagnosis for your baby? Have you considered that –Justice demands that only perpetrators pay for their crimes. We must NOT punish innocent children for someone else’s crime. R**e and abortion are wrong for the same reason – they are both violent acts of aggression against another person. Your concern for r**e victims should lead to a desire to protect them from their ra**st and an abortion, NOT their baby. A baby is not the worst thing that can happen to a r**e victim, an ABORTION is. Are you tired of seeing exceptions in the law? Tired of mediocre leaders who accept a compromising strategy that will never end legal abortion? Setting the no exceptions/no compromise standard raises the bar and brings us better laws and better leadership – within the prolife movement, within our churches, and within government. Please join Save The 1 in making a difference in the lives of all children all around the world who Jesus would call “the least of these” – the so called “hard cases” of r**e, in**st and special needs. Our speakers’ testimonies have already changed the hearts and minds of leaders – even 2 U.S. Presidential candidates, and, even more importantly, God has used us to change the hearts and minds of abortion minded r**e survivors. We are very successful when given the opportunity, but, in some ways, need a little help getting there. There are various ways to support our efforts. First, if you are struggling with becoming 100% prolife, struggling to reject the exceptions, please realize that these are real lives you may be discounting. Truly compassionate support aids and protects the mother on her journey of healing while at the same time protecting the other life present, the baby’s life. Second, please visit our website, SaveThe1.com, our Save The 1 page, and the website of our founder and President, RebeccaKiessling.com, to learn more about us and read many other stories. Third, please bring our stories to others: your churches, prolife groups, talks with friends and family and any other venue where hearts and minds can be changed. Fourth, if possible, please support us financially. Your greatly appreciated support will help us spread our 100% pro-life message.

Hello friends-

As many of you know, today it’s been six years since our founder, Rebecca Kiessling lost her two sons Caleb and Kyler to fentanyl poisoning.

We would like to ask for prayers for the Kiessling family today, in their remembering.

All other rights are worthless without your right to life. It's a prerequisite to the enjoyment of all other rights. Celebrating your life without caring about others at risk is elitist and narcissistic.

We have an article containing the results of a 5 state study that investigated effective messaging to help refute the 'conventional wisdom' that promoted the "It's only 1%" defense used to justify r**e and in**st exceptions. On the Save The 1 website: https://www.savethe1.com/tips-for-pro-life-leaders/ and politicians.

We have all seen examples of the 'deer in the headlights' look that sometimes occurs when challenging questions are asked and the person questioned is not prepared. Hopefully, the poll tested answers will help in those situations.

There is one answer that is not included in the article because the 'attacking question' was not as prominent when the study was done, but has been used recently, connected to high profile cases of young girls pregnant by r**e/in**st.

"How can you force a woman/minor girl to stay pregnant after sexual assault/in**st?"

What would your answer be?

We would like to offer our thoughts.

Assisting a woman in making a choice for life is not 'forcing her'.
No one advocating for the baby's life can be seen as 'forcing her' if the victimized woman makes HER OWN CHOICE to protect her baby's life. That is our job, collectively as a prolife community, and individually: to support and help her enough to feel ready and able to carry her baby to delivery. First and foremost, the mother must be assisted and supported through her trauma. Her safety is paramount. Some women from Save The 1 and beyond were able to struggle through their assault recovery and also had a loving connection to their baby from the early stages of pregnancy. For a woman who sees abortion as the only choice after assault, without support she can trust, without some level of healing, it will be very difficult to help her choose life. It is not much different than counseling on the sidewalk or at a pregnancy center. The mother's needs must be met. With proper support, it is less challenging to help her connect her heart and soul to her baby's. Sometimes, hearing positive stories from other mothers from assault can be a big help. All of this is said within the context of the statistics that show that in a majority of r**e/in**st conceptions, mothers choose life. (From the work of David Reardon and others.) A common thread that runs through many of these stories is the great amount of healing the mother feels from her own growing baby and the intrinsic maternal instinct to protect her child that emerges.

There is another angle that we thought of recently that may help in some debate circumstances or during challenging interviews. Perhaps a way to turn the tables, challenge them back. There is some demonic irony with this one. We are accused by the other side of 'forcing' women/girls to give birth after r**e/in**st. The truth is, it is the pro abortion side and nearly the whole Democrat party who FORCE UNRESTRICTED LEGALIZED ABORTION on the whole country, including extreme ideas such as actually amending the Constitution of the USA, or 'packing the Court', or amending constitutions state by state. They are also guilty of FORCING MINOR GIRLS back into the lives of abuse they were living under by using abortion to conceal the crimes. In some cases, multiple times.

The pregnancies of some moms from Save The 1 actually helped them escape their abusive/sex trafficking situations.

We hope that this collection of answers helps further the cause of changing the culture, less afraid of confronting these questions, better able to defend the legal protection of ALL life.

For more than four decades now, the primary response from pro-life leaders to the question, What about in cases of r**e?, has been to try to diminish the instance of pregnancy by r**e by saying, Its only 1%. As weve seen from some recent high-profile Senate races and even testimony on pro-life bills...
