This is tough. No 12 year old should have to face this decision.
The abortion could destroy her in so many ways. She is so young it could physically tear her up so that she never have kids again.
Never mind the guilt. 12 is too young to start with the guilt factor.
Exactly.
At least some of the adults in her life should be in jail for child endangerment an negligence ... not to mention the actual rapist.
Cutting through all the fog and current societal chaos and irrationality, I must agree with the court's decision.
Everyone is still entitled to an opinion, No?
Bueller?
Bueller??
‘We, the courts of Alabama, consider you mature enough to decide to murder your own unborn child.’”
This is harsh. There are some people who are so hidebound they simply can’t see beyond their own selfish positions. To say 12 is too young to bear the decision and “guilt” of abortion and not see what pain and suffering this child would go through carrying and delivering another child for 9 months and then for life even if it were adopted? Selfish and stupid is what they are. They need to experience what this child is facing then tell us what they would do or have someone tell them what they must do and declare them murderers for doing anything else.
Pinheads.
