""I don't believe that any young woman should have to make this decision alone. But, tragically, there are sometimes instances in which a young woman simply cannot involve her parents, including rape, violence or incest," Clinton told The Post."

Good Lord why would a young woman NOT be able to tell her parents she was raped????? I think there is a serious problem if a young woman cannot tell her parents that. And the serious problem is NOT the rape. I don't get this statement at all!

Because her father believed that it was her fault - no matter what the circumstances. My father would have never believed me, if I had been raped (thank goodness, nothing that bad ever happened to me).

Some parents just cannot help but blame their kids for everything that happens.

That being said, I whole heartedly support this bill, just do understand that not all parents are loving and supportive to their children.
