dude.

you ever been raped?
you ever known that one of your friends has been raped?

never been raped, myself, but I have known a few women who have let me in on what happened to them. their testimony leads me to suspect that a very large percentage of rape-victims are so ashamed that they tell very few people, if anyone.

to be fair, I am also aware of a few cases of "no-after-the-fact" false rape allegations. In their way these are just as destructive as rape itself. I have seen more than one man destroyed by such allegations.

and, to be completely equitable, it has always struck me as a trifle odd that woman+beer=not responsible, whereas man+beer=legally accountable in so-called "date-rape" cases.

but those are side issues.
If this woman was raped and made pregnant, pray for her.
If this woman made an unwise decision, got pregnant, and is covering for it with a tale of rape: PRAY FOR HER.

In either case, she needs it.

please, re-examine the content and tone of the post to which this is a reply.

Actually my post and reply was more about posters posting prayer threads. When someone is stricken with a devastating illness or the death of spouse or family member I understand the need for prayer. Lately I have seen prayer threads because someone had a sick dog.The allegation of rape is a very serious matter IMHO. If the young lady was raped she does have my condolences, however we are getting the story second handed. If one airs his laundry on a public forum he should expect someone to ask how the stains got there.
