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.
For Life,
