- Two teens may face charges after they allegedly used a baseball bat in an attempt to abort a fetus, according to Local 4 reports.
Police said a 16-year-old girl became pregnant and had a miscarriage in October at her home in the northern Macomb County town of Armada.
After an investigation, Michigan State Police determined that prior to the miscarriage, the girl and a 16-year-old boy -- the father of the unborn child -- may have attempted to abort the fetus.
"Without getting graphic, it involved a baseball bat and at some point the child was miscarried and that brings us to where we're at now," said Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith.
Smith said the male youth would hit the pregnant teen in the abdomen with a decorative-type wooden baseball bat every other day for three weeks.
"The length at which these two 16-year-olds went to abort this unborn child is just disturbing," said Smith.
Police were also investigating to determine if the parents of the two teens would face charges after they apparently decided to bury the fetus in the back yard of a home on Armada Ridge Road in Armada Township.
The parents apparently did not know of the pregnancy until the teen miscarried, police said.
Investigators with the Michigan State Police Post in Richmond exhumed the remains of the fetus from the back yard on Monday.
The remains were taken to the Macomb County Medical Examiner's office where an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death and how long the mother had been pregnant.
No charges have been filed, but Smith said the two teens may face charges as serious as manslaughter.
I'm speechless.
This is disgusting!
Damn, so am I.....
This poor, poor baby.
I would not be sad if someone should decide to abort the parents with a baseball bat.
This is disgusting.
This is where liberals have brought us.
I can only begin to imagine what is going through the heads of the parents of these kids.
The liberals would blame this on us. They would have had the baby killed properly.
I guess it's not abortion if someone beats it out of the mother? Lord, where are the brain cells?
And you just KNOW the liberals will use this as evidence that these sickos didn't have enough access to abortion clinics!
"fetus with bat parents"?
I suppose these kids weren't taught about abstinence or morals in general. A good lesson in the 10 commandments would have been helpful. It's really sad they are just kids, their parents should except responsibility.
This is what democrat leadership defense and promotion of abortion on demand has come to. Lay the blame squarely where it belongs (with the youths) but reserve a portion of the outrage for the promoters who use this to empower their disgusting selves.
How is it there is such revulsion to what these kids did as opposed to the same procedure being performed by a "doctor' when he conducts the left's crucial sacrament?
Beyond words.......animals are not this un-human....and parents are brainless these days.
I know it sounds odd, but I find any attempt to kill a baby disturbing, not just the ones that seem like they came out of an episode of Itchy and Scratchy.
And now the same liberals will ask for leniency for the teens for what they did....
