Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've always said. "Y'all, play nice!" would fix a world of problems.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
STATUTORY?? He's never heard of teen pregnancy, then?
Seriously???
Also, wasn't this a storyline on Little House on the Prairie in the 1970's? Or possibly, it was just the blacksmith (no relation) so just 'legitimate rape'

Ann, that's a ferret.
I've never met Rep. King, yet without personal experience, I know he's an idiot.
Rep. Steve King is a finalist for Biggest Idiot in Congress. And in a Congress with Louis Gohmert and Michele Bachmann, even that's a pretty high bar.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Birthday, V'ger!
35-Year-Old Voyager 2 Probe Is NASA's Longest Mission Ever | Space.com
I don't remember the launch of the Voyager probes (even though I was 12), but I remember all the excitement as they reached Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Good times.
And still going strong at 35 and about 9 billion miles from Earth.
Voyager 1 is about 11 billion miles away. It was launched about two weeks after Voyager 2.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A lot of people would ask, though, in the absence of an obvious baby's daddy
I would like to hope "some" people would ask, but hoping never made shit true. However, like above, I'd always guess sperm bank over raped--I assume if someone wants me to know they've been raped, they'll tell me. Them getting pregnant doesn't change that at all. Anyone can feel free to lie to me in that situation if it makes shit easier, but I am not going to ask unless we have the sort of relationship where I'm startled you haven't volunteered the information, and I'm reacting out of surprise.
I'd like to think, despite the stats, who goes to rape? Who looks at someone and thinks "something really unpleasant happened to you". It's like if someone tells me someone in their life died, but not how, I never assume murder. I've got to be told that.
