Alabama Banned Abortions. Then Its Lawmakers Remembered Rapists Can Get Parental Rights.
Excerpt from Mother Jones article...
Each year, between 7,750 and 12,500 children are conceived from rape nationwide, according to Justice Department estimates, which are likely low because many attacks are not reported. Family custody lawyers say rapists sometimes push for parental rights to try to dissuade mothers from pressing for criminal charges, or after being asked to pay child support. Most states have laws on the books to allow courts to terminate or restrict rapists parental rights under certain conditions. Alabama, where Stallings still lives, has long been an outlier: Its one of just two states (along with Minnesota) that has never passed such a law.

This was all new to me. I had no homeless training. I had no clue how I was going to survive. Just six months earlier I had a well-paying job in the television industry, overseeing syndicated programs like Wheel of Fortune. But now, I was the one who had suddenly landed on bankrupt. The irony was painful.

4 days to Doctor!
I hurt a lot so I hope they have some ideas how to lessen it.
But I won't lie, I'm scared to hear what they're going to find. I'm hoping they have a way to get me back to full strength. But part of me keeps asking my what next if they can't?
With my legs, right hand, and eyes messed up, what can of work can I do? I'm an active person, what's my chances staying that way? What changes could I be looking at?
I think the wait is worse than finding out the answers.
