Date Rape


            Date Rape is forcing unconsensual sex with one whom you are on a planned rendezvous with. Not being any different from regular rape in any way, shape or form. Rape is such a horrible and devastating act whether you have planned to be with this person or not. Researching Date Rape gave me a deeper perspective into the facts of rape and everything one goes through after being a victim of such a horrendous crime.
             Most Date Rapes occur when date rape drugs are involuntarily induced to the one who is to be raped. The most popular "date rape drug" is gamma-hydroxybutyrate also known as GHB. GHB usually comes as an odorless liquid, with a slightly salty taste, that is undetectable when mixed with any kind of beverage. It can make one very drowsy and sleepy and in higher doses make the individual fall into a coma and causing your nervous system to shut down. The shutting down of your nervous system is the number one cause of death while using GHB, whether you are willing or not.
             It is very difficult to find statistics solely on "Date Rape". So most of the facts I was presented with were on rape. But as I had said before, rape is rape, whether or not you knew the person previous to the act. The most horrible statistic that I came across was that which the Bureau of Justice statistics claims. They claim that everyday a women is raped somewhere in America every two minutes. This is 1800 women a day. Next to death I feel that this has to be most feared subject in women's lives.
             The side effects that a women experiences, are so painful and overwhelming after rape that it is not understandable why anyone would want to put a single human through such pain. Depression is the number one side effect after rape that can last a lifetime and something they"ll never be able to live down. The penalty for rape is outrageous. I believe that if you rape anyone for any reason, date rape or not, you should be put away for life.
