Michigan gubernatorial hopeful Tudor Dixon (R) said she opposes abortion in cases of rape – even when the victim is a child – because of the “bond” that the mother and child will eventually enjoy, Mediaite reports.
Said Dixon: “I’ve talked to those people who were the child of a rape victim and the bond that those two people made and the fact that out of that tragedy there was healing through that baby.”
