Steventhen Holland was conceived by a brutal gang rape. His mother, however, saw the value of his life when no one else did.

I want to tell you an incredible story of a man who defies the common argument that abortion is necessary in cases of rape.

Steventhen Holland was conceived by a brutal gang rape. His mother, however, saw the value of his life when no one else did, and she fought to protect him.

Steventhen was eight years old when he learned he was adopted.

Although a happy child, he always wondered: “Why did my mom not want me?”

Years later, he discovered the truth surrounding the circumstances of his conception and birth and of his mother’s heroic love. You can watch his story here:

Steventhen’s mother, Glenda Sue, was born with intellectual disabilities. After her parents died, she became a ward of the state and was sent to live in a care facility.

At age 18, she was horrifically raped by five men and became pregnant. Her abusers wanted to cover their crimes and pressured her to abort, but she ran away and hitch-hiked across the state - all to protect Steventhen.

Nine months pregnant, Glenda Sue was homeless - surviving in a cardboard box behind a grocery store. When she gave birth to her baby boy, she placed him with human services. The Holland family adopted him immediately.

After learning his birth story, Steventhen was then taken to meet his birth mother. He stood with his mother and sang “Amazing Grace.”

During the next 11 years Glenda Sue remained alive, Steventhen visited her often.

“My mom absolutely is my hero. She valued life… despite the odds of homelessness, mental challenges, and literally no support – she didn’t have one day of prenatal care…”

In 2018, Steventhen started a ministry called Broken Not Dead, a nonprofit that helps bring the Gospel to people who are broken and in need of healing. He travels regularly to share his powerful testimony and help bring others to Christ. He devoted his life to helping others.

By pushing for abortion in cases of rape, pro-abortion advocates insinuate that children conceived in sexual violence are somehow lesser or evil because of their father’s horrific crimes. But that is a lie.

Steventhen is a gift to his biological mother, his adoptive parents, and everyone he encounters.

He defies the narrative that abortion is necessary in cases of rape. His story also shows that abortion doesn’t heal the trauma of rape for women - it only adds more violence on top of the trauma she already endured.

Every child is a gift, no matter the circumstance in which they were conceived.

I hope you will share his powerful story.
