http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/a-friend-gave-me-date-rape-drugs-and-i-got-pregnant_us_579acf46e4b00e7e269eff0aWeeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I didnt tell anyone except my best friend. I was supposed to attend BYU, a Mormon-owned university, in the fall. I knew if my secret came out, Id lose my college admission.
Eventually, I had to tell my parents. Id never been good at keeping things to myself, and a teenage pregnancy was the mother of all secrets. Plus, I had major morning sickness and it was getting more difficult to explain the constant puking. One detail led to another, and soon the whole story came pouring out of me, including how Id taken pills and blacked out and thought maybe Id done things I wasnt supposed to do that night.
Have I mentioned that the guy who drugged me was a fellow Mormon? Well, he was. His family lived a few streets away and belonged to our congregation. Our families ate dinner together. Ironically, he was one of the few people my parents trusted me to be alone with.
My mom called his mom, and the two of them came over for a long chat. He admitted that hed drugged me with Klonopin, because he thought it would be funny. But he insisted we didnt have sex. He said he lost track of me during the party, and figured Id ended up getting a ride home from someone else. A lot of questions about what happened to me that night were going unanswered.

(10,500 posts)3. This is terrible. And what isn't even addressed is whether this poor girl fell victim to a coerced
adoption. The LDS Church pushes hard for an adoption when a woman is pregnant.
