This election will decide the fates of girls who were abused like me, like me.

Nearly half of all rape survivors were first raped as minors, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .

1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men were sexually abused before they turned 18 , studies show.

J. Kyle Foster : I never thought about the fact that I could have gotten pregnant, not until later in life.

Foster : It’s unfathomable to consider forcing anyone to be a mother, let alone a girl who was abused.

Foster writes this hoping that someone else, even one person, feels heard.
