Anchor Roop Raj then asked Dixon about whether she would support terminating the pregnancy of a 14-year-old rape victim.

Dixon replied that she had spoken to people who were the children of rape victims and that “the bond that those two people made and the fact that out of that tragedy there was healing through that baby, it’s something that we don’t think about.”

“We assume that that story is someone who was taken from the front yard, then returned,” she told Raj.

“Those voices—the babies of rape victims—that have come forward are very powerful when you hear their story and what the truth is behind that. It’s very hard to not stand up for those people,” she said.
