I linked to this place quite by accident and I guess it’s a liberal site.

The woman in question was raped by a violent ex-husband doing meth. But still…adoption NEVER an option with these people?’…She wanted an abortion, but she couldn’t afford one. “I didn’t know what to do,” she said. “There was no way I could have had that baby. My ex would have killed me. That was never an option.” Adoption wasn’t, either. Kimberly couldn’t bring herself to let her pregnancy show in Phoenix, and she couldn’t leave town for several months the way women used to when they got pregnant out of wedlock. “I couldn’t take my kids, and I couldn’t leave them with my ex. I couldn’t bring another child into this world. It came out of this … ,” she said, swallowing the word “rape” as she uttered it…’

Maybe I’m just old and out of it, but HOW do women get in situations like this? Was the ex a Really Nice Guy who just suddenly flipped out on meth? Something in these stories just doesn’t fit. Maybe the notion of Bad Boy has husband material should be reviewed?? :ehh:
