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.
