Most abortions in this country is by choice for use as BIRTHCONTROL.
that is a sad damn fact, and I guess what you all call, Progress.
and why should I be forced to pay for others HEALTH CARE? I pay for my own by working.
And what does any of that have to do with the fact that the GOP is trying to limit women's rights. Do you think it's ok for a rape victim to be denied coverage for an abortion simply because she can't prove that she was physically forced to have sex?
Wouldn't she report the rape? Most know after a date rape drug that they were raped...right?
A lot of women don't report rapes. And with date rape drugs, you don't necessarily know for sure what happened. One of their hallmarks is that the victim often can't remember anything for several hours.
If you go to the ER as soon as you suspect you were given a date rape drug, they can do a urine test for the drugs. Rohypnol can be detected in the urine up to 72 hours after taking it. GHB, on the other hand, leaves the body in 12 hours, so it's imperative to not urinate after the attack if at all possible, in order to have the best chance of finding traces in the urine.
Even if the tests don't show date rape drugs, the ER can still do a rape kit, and can at the very least detect signs of recent sexual activity, which would help substantiate claims of rape.
