"What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that? Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can't say that I was not a part of a product of that....Just because a conception happened in bad circumstances doesn't mean the result isn't a person. It's not the baby's fault for the sin of the father, or of the mother."
