It truly boggles my mind the girl who gives birth and dump her baby in a trash can is treated like a horrific monster and charged with crimes... while the very same girl would be a courageous heroine exercising her most basic rights if she had just opted for a late-term abortion a couple days earlier.

Because in her mind, if it hasn't been born yet it's still a part of her body, and disposing of it by abortion is equivalent to clipping a fingernail.

I know. It's a sick way of thinking.

Behind all of the screaming about "My body, my choice" is the deep fear of betrayal and abandonment. That girl didn't get pregnant by herself. Where is the father of the child?

That’s the part of the equation which is usually omitted. The responsibility is always twofold.

In today’s world, you’d have to have an old fashioned police lineup. Gather all the suspects, and do a DNA test.
It’s not like the old “going steady” anymore.
