Thank you. I knew the story was true. Children are violated by adults more often than any of us wants to think about. I was 10 when my neighbor raped me. I was afraid to tell anyone. I was just lucky I did not get pregnant but after all these years, I remember every hideous detail. I was happy when I learned he died several yea…
Thank you. I knew the story was true. Children are violated by adults more often than any of us wants to think about. I was 10 when my neighbor raped me. I was afraid to tell anyone. I was just lucky I did not get pregnant but after all these years, I remember every hideous detail. I was happy when I learned he died several years later. As an adult I finally fell in love with a man who I thought felt the same. He pressured me relentlessly into an abortion and later I got pregnant again with this same man. I refused to have another abortion and he left me. Thrilled to have my beautiful daughter, but single parenthood was hard. We were poor and it took years to get back on my feet. Being and feeling victimized is unpleasant, but all any of us can do in this life is have a little compassion for these young victims. Abortion is a painful issue but if it is necessary, it should be safe and done in a medical facility. Stop make legal obstacles regarding medical and intensely personal decisions.
