Her Name is Molly Anne Dutton …

Posted on Comments

. . . but she almost didn’t have a name, because if not for a woman’s courageous decision, she never even would have had a life:

Auburn University selected its 100th Miss Homecoming in Molly Anne Dutton this weekend. . . .
The 22-year-old’s biological mother was faced with an extremely difficult situation. The victim of a sexual assault, the young woman became pregnant with Dutton and was given an ultimatum by her husband: Either abort the baby or get a divorce.
She chose to keep the baby, leading to a “ridiculously inspirational life story” for her daughter. Rather than aborting, she carried the baby to term and worked with Lifeline Children’s Services, a Christian adoption group in Birmingham, Ala., to ensure that the baby girl was given a good life.

Go read the whole amazing story and try not to cry too much.

  1. Nobody forced this woman to do anything. She CHOSE of her own free will.

    However, you are coming down on the side of a man who attempted to coerce her into make his and your choice to take the life of an innocent child.

    The fact that she freely chose a course you hate to the point of reviling her act of compassion is quite telling.

    We are all free to do as you say. I can just feel the tolerance.

    You fascist pig!

  2. Jesus did through this young, selfless woman!

    And that act of compassion obviously sends you into a fit of rage!

    It must be terrible to be you when you are sober, but I am guessing that doesn’t happen very often.

  3. See here’s the problem: you’re confused by the difference between rational thinking and delusional religious morality hence why you’re a conservative.

  4. If you check your Obamacare coverage, you just might find “anger management treatment” is a covered service.

    Of course, you won’t be able to see a practitioner until 2025 at the earliest…

    Good luck with that “pure, ruthless, clean, perfect instinct.”

    I bet all those “progressive” chicks look forward to becoming your latest victim of domestic violence…

  5. I know she chose of her own free will and that’s fine, even though it’s completely idiotic and shows a scared, weak mind. And so what are you saying as half the married couple the man should have just sat their and went along with it and must be forced to accept because of her religious beliefs? No, I would say, nope, either abort the thing or Im outta here and if she didn’t want to then there is no way I could stay. She has plenty of choices though and im not forcing her to do anything even though the smart thing is to abort the rape baby and save yourself.

  6. If you weren’t a delusional “progressive” I’d be concerned by your “insight.”

    I don’t know what your mommy did to you to make you this way, but it must have been terrible.

    But I bet your fellow inmates down on the isolation ward are so very proud of you.

  7. LOL! Yeah, of course I must be drunk or stoned! No dude, Im sober and completely lucid and know compassion is not limitless. If you’ve ever dealt with situation that really tests your compassion you would know that and in the end self preservation and survival is far stronger than compassion. I’ve walked on more than one person who has put me to that test always for the better.

  8. And wait a second? What are you saying? Jesus rapes women? Huh? Yeah, some religion you have there, nutbag. Yeah, praise his name and for all the women who he works through via violent sexual assault. God, youre an asshat!

  9. And she and the baby would be much, much better off without you.

    But I suppose any given social gathering is remarkably improved at the instant of your departure.

    Sort of like Europe on 1 May 1945.

  10. “If you’ve ever dealt with situation that really tests your compassion
    you would know that and in the end self preservation and survival is far
    stronger than compassion. I’ve walked on more than one person who has
    put me to that test always for the better.”

    I imagine that if you were the captain of a sinking ship, you would throw the women and children overboard, lashed to weights, to insure that you would have a seat in the lifeboats.

    No, wait, I’m wrong — you’d pick out a suitable harem first, and then throw the rest overboard. Waste not, want not.

  12. The moral of the story is that beautiful people can grow from really ugly shit. If they are given a chance to live and grow, and not hated solely because of a biological event not of their choosing. You remind me of the old fossils of my youth, who loathed any children borne out of wedlock as bastards, and treated them like garbage, even though said children had no say in the matter, and were innocent of any crimes.

    Or to put it another way: In the long standing debate of nature versus nurture, this one is a resounding victory for nurture.

    Which means there’s hope for any children that might result from any indiscreet sexual activities of yours. Assuming that they aren’t aborted, and you put them up for adoption by a caring, loving family.

  13. That’s a false equivalency. In a personal situation there is only so much tolerance for the other person and something like her wanting to keep the child of someone who raped her and want me to raise it is beyond my personal limits of compassion. You call me immoral or selfish or whatever…I really don’t give a shit.

  14. When you have to resort ad hom attacks, especially on someone you don’t know personally, you’ve lost the argument.

  15. Progressive? Not really. On certain issue perhaps, but certainly not all. And no, my Mom is a nice catholic woman and I was well cared for. And again, dumb ad hom, coming from someone who claims Jesus uses rape as a vehicle for his spirit. KOOK!

  17. Nice try, but you are wrong. In a personal situation, it depends on the person.

    And you have clearly demonstrated yourself to be a self-centered, vicious clown who has, in your own words, “… walked on more than one person who has put me to that test always for the better”.

    By your own words, you would condemn an innocent child to death for nothing more than maintaining the illusion of a comfort zone. It’s no stretch at all to imagine you pushing an old lady out of the way in your rush to exit the building ahead of the flames.

  19. Ah, but the mother had a choice. Abortion was legal and available at the time. She just didn’t choose the way you think she should have. That’s your definition of “anti-choice”.

    Given your forcefulness and obtuseness on this topic, as demonstrated by your anti-choice rhetoric, you are definitely a progressive with the agenda, notwithstanding your lies to the contrary.

  20. What you have lost is your mind and your soul.

    And I certainly haven’t lost the argument by pointing out that you are a vicious, malicious, self-absorbed, hate-filled “progressive.”

  21. I see reading comprehension is not your one of your strengths. You may be good at something but I simply don’t have the time or interest to wait long enough to find out what it might be.

    I am betting your gifts are incontinence and flatulence, though not necessarily in that order…

    If you read “between the lines” you just may detect a hint of disdain.

  23. Did you fail reading comp? The Dutton’s wanted to raise a rapists child and they turned a tragedy into a triumph. That is beyond your ability to comprehend in your pro-murder world

  24. You are completely heartless like all pro-murderers. The blood of 55 million dead Americans since 1973 is on your hands.

  26. Maybe if Richard Murdock had dragged her out on the stump he might have won Indiana? Then again, claiming rape is part of “God’s plan” as a bid to end abortion makes you a lunatic no matter how you slice it.

  34. Nope that’s the truth. Mom’s a hard working, catholic woman. After 5 years of catholic school(grades 8-12)and having their pro-life/anti-contraception agenda shoved down your throat that was the end my time with religion. In fact I remember the two events that lead up to it: one, a teacher taking a show of hands about who was pro-life and who was pro-choice and the pro-choice people being ridiculed with the usual ass head moralizing that makes up the pro-life movement and 2)when Planned Parenthood was handing out condums across the street from my school and students had them confiscated by staff. When I said to the Principal “so the Church’s position is they’d rather you get AIDS?” I was written up and put in detention for a week. In fact I would say I leaned right up until 2003 and Bush’s Iraq debacle started to come undone.

  35. No, there’s only so much of someone else’s personal choices you have to abide. I understand that guilt has been used as a weapon against you for so long by your Church that you feel you have to be a matyr in order to be a good person but you’re wrong. For instance, if you were married to a woman with a history of abuse and that lead her to cheat or act out in a bad way would you continue to be with her if her behavior was harming you even though you know the root of it was “not her fault”? No, you’d only take so much and then ask for a divorce. Your wife keeping a rapist’s child definitely falls under things that don’t have to be tolerated and cross the line. And, an embryo, which is all it would be when you found out she was pregnant due to a rape is not a baby, feels no pain due to a undeveloped nervous system, etc. So yeah, I would want her for both of our sakes to abort it. Life’s too short for such bullshit.

  36. Whatever…the article amounts to anti-choice propaganda and is probably being posted by the horde over at Live Action too.

  37. Oh come on now, Conservative policy is now to ban abortion including rape exceptions and this “inspirational little story” is just propaganda to achieve that goal. Sad that this young woman is now a poster child for the most nefarious group of old Christbags in America.

  38. Yeah, because allowing a woman the legal right to carry a child whether the outcome of rape or otherwise regardless of my personal feelings is the same as using the law to force to carry regardless of her feelings or situation. You my friend are the fascist who seeks to impose what you want on other people through real coercion(the threat of imprisonment)and not me. Even worse when you’re a male making decisions for women as though they’re not capable of it especially after they’ve been raped. Makes you a sexist too.

  40. Thanks for confirming my analysis.

    BTW, I’m agnostic. My perspective is that of survival, which includes a significant moral factor. To quote Robert Heinlein:

    “All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and young
    children. All else is surplusage, excrescence, adornment, luxury, or
    folly, which can — and must — be dumped in emergency to preserve this
    prime function. As racial survival is the only universal morality,
    no other basic is possible. Attempts to formulate a “perfect society” on
    any foundation other than “Women and children first!” is not only
    witless, it is automatically genocidal. Nevertheless, starry-eyed
    idealists (all of them male) have tried endlessly — and no doubt will
    keep on trying.”

    You are a starry-eyed idealist. Which is newspeak for “asshole”.

  41. Moving the goal posts, huh? We are speaking of a past event. Abortion was available them, and the mother made a choice. One that you clearly disapprove of.

    That’s your entire problem right there, Starry-Eyed Idealist™. She chose a solution not endorsed by “progressives”. You, and others like her, would deprive her of that choice. Not by law, but by social and political pressure.

    You are anti-choice.

  43. Getting a little pissy, huh? Trying to change the subject, I mean.

    Must be terrible, going through life as a Starry-Eyed Idealist™.

  44. I just read through all the comments, and I find NSC’s remarks quite interesting. They are an example of what many of us believe to be the Culture of Death embraced by the Left.

    When one considers the story discussed, it’s hard to see how anyone could possibly take umbrage with the reportage. The facts speak for themselves. One would think that an average “pro choice” advocate would acknowledge the inspirational nature of the story and laud it as an example of choice exercised by one woman. Nevertheless, our pro choice person would argue, such choices are not right for all.

    Fine.

    Yet NSC’s comments contain a stridency and amount vitriol which is astounding. The mother of this young lady is labeled “weak” and “stupid,” even though she took what is obviously the most difficult path, presumably because of her convictions. Her husband is praised for his self-centeredness, marital vows of love, comfort and support for his absolutely innocent wife notwithstanding. Finally, Ms. Dutton is dismissed as some sort of mere “propaganda,” which term implies an underlying misrepresentation of the actual facts as they exist.

    Why this over-the-top reaction, this revulsion directed toward a lovely young lady who’s made the most of her life, created in extraordinarily adverse circumstances? The answer is quite simple: The Left loathes Ms. Dutton because they fear her. She is the face that puts the lie the abortion advocates’ view that abortion is not the destruction of human life–human life which both has value in and of itself, but which also lead to great things in the future. Ms. Dutton is the face of “Choice.” She is the face of those aborted children who might have gone on to great things. She is the embodiment of what “choice” means to those who contemplate it. That’s why they fear her; that’s why they hate her; and that’s why she must be destroyed. She is a personal threat to the Death Culture celebrated by the Left.

  45. Lack of context much? And how am I not protecting a pregnant woman, asshole? She’s free to choose whatever she wants which is the fundamental difference between my side and yours. You’re trying to, and in your estimation(or God’s), protect a pregnant woman from herself by denying the right to an abortion, So actually you’re quote conveys the opposite of what you intended it to. You’re threatening a pregnant woman with jail time by banning abortions if she doesn’t conform to your version of morality hence the only starry eyed asshole is you. And again, a fetus or embryo(regardless of your fetus worship)is not a “child”. When people here the word child they immediately think of half formed, tadpole looking thing, swimming around in amniotic fluid no matter how hard you try to abstract or pervert the meaning of that word. Thanks for playing, dickhead. In the end, no matter what kind of moralizing you might attempt, your political position is thus: I will use the law and any means necessary to stop a woman from having an abortion even if the pregnancy was the result of a traumatic incident like a rape, thereby further traumatizing and demoralizing her, and regardless of her own free will. And why? Because Im an asshole male who think he has the god given right to make decisions for the woman folk. If you think my position of not wanting to stay in a relationship with a woman is the moral equivalency of yours then you’re an idiot.
