    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.

    I feel bad for her-I really do, if that's what actually happened, but I think something fishy is going on there. She wouldn't be walking back to her car from Gasparilla, if she was crossing Howard and Swann. That's probably a good 5-10 miles away!

    Everyone should be allowed their right to medication, no matter their circumstances-why didn't the girl go to someone else, though?

    She couldn't go to someone else because she was IN JAIL.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I hope the supervisor who denied her the MAP is fired.

    This is absolutely disgusting.

    While I don't know the area, I would also weigh in that something sounds fishy. I wouldn't know why they would keep someone locked up from Saturday until Monday afternoon, on a misdemeanor, as a juvenile. Seems like she would have been arrested, booked, and re-cited to court- all within a few hours. AND, I wonder why if that didn't happen, she didn't make bail? Again, this is a misdemeanor?

    I agree that Fundys (or any other person) shouldn't have the right to tell a woman what to do or not do with their own body.
