The Reality of the Date Rape Drug
Each month, more than ten women of all ages and backgrounds
contact our Adoption Center with the same experience -- they
have been victims of a date rape drug and are now pregnant. Most
of the time, these women do not know who the biological father
is. Rohypnol is becoming the drug of choice for would-be
rapists. Most predators target unsuspecting victims by slipping
these illicit drugs into beverages at parties, bars, nightclubs,
and dances. Rape drugs have the power to make one drink feel
like six or more.
Laura, a sophomore from Florida, was one such woman who called
our center. Laura attended a private party off campus. She
thinks that she was probably dancing when the perpetrator laced
her beer. She only had one drink and started feeling sick; then
her memory became foggy.
