Rape Victim Arrested, Then Denied Morning After Pill

Disgusting.. just absolutely disgusting. My friends and I were talking about this over dinner tonight.

"As a human being, how someone could be so violated by this monster and then the system comes along and rapes her again psychologically and emotionally - it's outrageous and unconscionable."

Explains my thoughts about it perfectly. To be raped, arrested, and then denied medication from some religious-shoving idiot. This girl is going to be scarred for life - double time.

Does anyone know if she was eventually given the pill? What if she becomes pregnant - what will she tell the child IF she decides to follow through?

I do not understand this at all. Its her right to decide and in the case of rape, it is her right for sure. I couldnt read the whole thing because my spyware kept blocking it- but am I right in reading they did not fill the doctors perscription??? How can they do that???

She was eventually given the second dose of the pill. Unfortunately it was 72 hours after the rape occurred and it is much less effective than if it had been given when it was supposed to be.

I just hope she keeps written records of it all, in case she does turn out to be pregnant. Especially if she turns out to be pregnant and positive for HIV or hepatitis.
