That being said, I think to myself-- if I had a 12-year old daughter, and she were-- God forbid-- raped or made the mistake of having unprotected sex... while I'd like to believe that she'd come to me or her mother, I could easily believe she wouldn't, and I might also even understand why not. Under those conditions, I'd be grateful for her to have access to this medication... why should a raped 12-year old be forced to give birth?
