"I WAS AN EXCEPTION"
My name is Bill Connor. My story entitled, “I WAS AN EXCEPTION”,
appeared in many newspapers and other publications throughout South
Dakota in the last Vote-Yes-For-Life campaign. It was my hope that by
telling my story of my mother’s rape would personalize the issue with a
name and face that some might recognize.
You see, I was conceived in rape and my life is my precious gift. Without
life, there is no story, no love, children, friends, family or precious
memories. Today in the business of abortion, rape is simply a legal matter,
that current law, and public opinion, deems the most extreme response as
acceptable. Thankfully, my Grandpa’s Catholic faith did not find this
acceptable, and provided my mother the support she needed at our most
vulnerable moment in time.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world. My mother was very
young and made some bad choices, and my childhood was far from normal.
Her abusive relationships made neglect, abuse and poverty routine
indignities that seemed normal to me as a kid. Only as an adult, did I come
to recognize how vulnerable children are to the ways of the world. Thank
God that He inspired my Grandpa, some foster families, teachers and
coaches to light another path for me to stay in school, excel in sports and
inherit a new beginning to serve Him. I am sure that many reading this
article were not born at the perfect time in the perfect situation, with
perfect parents who were able to meet every material need. But like the
living weed sprouting from the crack in the sidewalk, we can bloom where
we’re planted.
In a perfect world, with perfect people, we wouldn’t need a government.
However, to maintain a safe and functional society there is obviously a
need to govern, and to be governed. Our political system, imperfect as it
is, is the best method we’ve devised to manage America’s governmental
responsibilities. It is this process, the politics of big money and self
interest, that has corrupted the debate, confused the uninformed, and has
obfuscated the truth to justify a modern political agenda. Government
needs to be “governed” too, and it is “we the people’s” responsibility to
define government’s role, no matter the what the issue may be at the time.
I want the people of South Dakota to know that I am unequivocally pro-life
no matter how bad the circumstances. Last year, the Yes campaign efforts
to save all unborn life was defeated by Planned Parenthoods argument that
the bill, previously enacted by the South Dakota legislature, was too
“extreme” because it did not allow for the exception of rape and incest.
Even though these pregnancies are a very small percentage of the total
number of abortions, this was the basis for their opposition. Imagine, if
you will, telling the 1500 passengers on-board the Titanic ocean liner that
since the ship isn’t equipped with enough life boats for everyone, no one
can board the “Yes for Life” boats!
I recently learned that the Yes-For-Life organization is supporting a new
bill that clearly allows for the rarest of exceptions. And, of course, I
immediately said YES. Why, you ask, since I was the product of a rape,
can I support this bill? Because, this will allow virtually every passenger
on board the “ship of life” to live. And, not surprisingly, Planned
Parenthood again stands in opposition. This is real life politics, requiring
the inspired to rise and be heard. So don’t be confused, nor discouraged,
this debate is contentious and often without reason, but silence is no longer
an option. I have no political agenda, and being self-employed sometimes
can cause financial consequences for taking a stand. But, like most
Americans, we stand, and have stood, for the sanctity and dignity of human
life, everywhere in the world.
Today, my desire to live a full and abundant life is again threatened, not by
abortion, but by cancer. And again, I am considering every option
available to save my life. The voyage is precious, and much too short no
matter how long each of us lives. I desperately urge everyone who has
read my story in the past to let your friends know that Bill Connor from
Dell Rapids, is 100% behind this current Vote-Yes-For-Life initiative. And
when I meet the Lord and he asks me the big question, “What did you do
for the least of these my brethren?” I want to be able to tell him that I too
stood tall for the most pressing issue of our time – the killing of God’s
Holy image by the modern holocaust known as abortion.
If so inspired, please contact everyone you know, talk about this to your
friends and share my story. I am confident that if we all do something, we
will all be rewarded in time, God’s time.
He Made A Change, Bill Connor
