This blog entry was prompted by watching "Curse of the Werewolf" after listening on our Catholic radio station to testimonies of children who survived being conceived by rape. They unanimously are for not aborting others like themselves, the most innocent victims of the horrible crime. In the horror movie the title werewolf is not the poor beggar kept in the dungeon for twenty years, not the mute servant girl who kills her cruel master. They are his parents. By the grace of God the testimonies did not turn out tragically in real life as the story on the screen. Some of the Rapechildren were adopted, but all deserve better than the wolfboy got.
There was even a strange scene in the movie where the old woman tells the rescuer of the rape victim that the curse was because of the baby being born on Christmas (not because of being conceived by a rapist, which she did not know). That's as ridiculous as thinking Rapechildren are cursed. Rod Serling and Isaac Newton were Christmas babies and we've all been blessed through them, to say nothing of Mary's Baby.
