Robert's Story: A Voice for Babies, Women and Men Endangered by Abortion
"What rape takes away from a woman, abortion cannot restore."
Editor's Note: Robert Bennett gave this powerful testimony a couple of years ago before the South Dakota Legislature. He is a living witness to the value and right to life of every child, including those conceived via sexual assault.
Further below, you'll find links to evidence-based resources regarding this issue from the Elliot Institute. This includes a positive, proactive response to "hard cases," our Victims & Victors book, our men's page, and our Father's Day Outreach. (Father's Day is Sun. June, 19th.)
Abortion affects men in many direct and indirect ways. You can educate the public and transform the lives, hearts, minds and souls of people in your own circles simply by sharing one or more of our evidence-based, user-friendly educational materials.
Robert's Story
 I am happy and very proud to be in this room to voice my support for the protection of preborn children. I was born in Naples, Collier County, Florida on February 23, 1971. My mother married my stepfather when I was just two years old. I lived what you might consider a normal childhood. I had the love of my family and mother and had that very important father figure there for me.
Growing up I never really wondered who my real father was. At the age of 14 years old I questioned my mother for the first time.

 Reach men and families in your own circles and educate the community, too. Regular or "co-op" Father's Day ads or flyers are available for you or your group to use and share. (Co-op versions like the one shown here, have a space to add details about local resources or events, or to include information about a sponsor.)
This is a great project for men's groups to do or sponsor! Tell a friend or leader about it.
Or consider having someone from a local men's group, counseling or outreach center, religious or civic group leader, pregnancy resource center or post-abortion healing group give a talk on this issue or share their own story. Promote the event with a co-op ad. To select the co-op version, click on the co-op link below each ad. (Learn more about how to use co-op ads on our co-op page.)
