Date rape pregnancy stories are a very small sample of the thousands we receive every year from women around the world.
Read these stories with compassion for they were written by women who did NOT choose to have the sex that led to their pregnancy and yet have to pay a life price for the situation they were placed in against their will.
i) Female from Kansas, USA
Depending on how far along I am; I was date raped if I became pregnant before August and if it was after that then its consensual. I can't be pregnant, I can't afford a baby and my family can't either and if it is by the guy that took advantage of me. I just will give it up for adoption but I can't and I don't wanna go through a pregnancy when he did that to me. even if it is the other guys I'm not ready but I know my whole family and a lot of my friends will look down on me.
I am the good perfect angel and it would just break everyones hearts and I don't want to let anyone down. Emotionally I just can't o through a pregnancy; already I am very emotional and I barely eat and i just can't do it. I pray everyday for a miscarriage because an abortion is against my religion and my family's wishes.

Well i would like to start off by saying that I am 16 years old with no job to support a child at this point in time! I was conned into having sex; to mo it was kinda like rape persay.
Because the guy told me everything would be ok and then he proceed to take my pants off as i was saying no! i tried to get him off me but I'm only 5foot and 122 pounds and he is 5'7 and 200 pounds! so there was no competiton.
After this had happened i felt nasty and helpless! i can't tell my parents because the guy is of another race (black) and my parents do NOT approve!!! My parents family, friends, and communtity would dis-own me if i were to have a abortion or having to have a inter-racial child! They would NOT support me in anyway shape or form. I hope you will understand and help me!! THANK YOU EVER MUCH!!! AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!!
