Weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I didn’t tell anyone except my best friend. I was supposed to attend BYU, a Mormon-owned university, in the fall. I knew if my secret came out, I’d lose my college admission.

Eventually, I had to tell my parents. I’d never been good at keeping things to myself, and a teenage pregnancy was the mother of all secrets. Plus, I had major morning sickness and it was getting more difficult to explain the constant puking. One detail led to another, and soon the whole story came pouring out of me, including how I’d taken pills and blacked out and thought maybe I’d done things I wasn’t supposed to do that night.

Have I mentioned that the guy who drugged me was a fellow Mormon? Well, he was. His family lived a few streets away and belonged to our congregation. Our families ate dinner together. Ironically, he was one of the few people my parents trusted me to be alone with.

My mom called his mom, and the two of them came over for a long chat. He admitted that he’d drugged me with Klonopin, because he thought it would be “funny.” But he insisted we didn’t have sex. He said he lost track of me during the party, and figured I’d ended up getting a ride home from someone else. A lot of questions about what happened to me that night were going unanswered.

1. Horrifying

2. Why didn't they do a DNA test to determine the father?

3. This is terrible. And what isn't even addressed is whether this poor girl fell victim to a coerced

adoption. The LDS Church pushes hard for an adoption when a woman is pregnant.
