How is murdering the baby going to help things?
I see no grey in this matter. She could be carrying the child that cures cancer for all we know.
How is being adopted by loving parents "adoption hell?"
The real problem is that she very well could choose to keep the baby. This would be her right, but the poor kid is almost certainly in no position to care for a baby. The infant would likely end up another ward of DCF, and the cycle would repeat.
Prayers for all involved.
There's nothing gray about this. It's not the baby's fault the mom is an idiot. As far as not knowing the circumstances, again, not the baby's fault. Feel to dream up any extraordinary possibilities you like by channelling the ghost of Erskin Caldwell, but it won't matter.
What is grey - that the baby won't be "loved"? God, think of all the lonely or obnoxious people we could execute by that standard!
Adoption hell??? As an adoptive parent, I take offense at that. And as the kind of person who supports abortion, you no doubt agree that offending others is vastly worse than butchering innocent babies, so you are destined to rot in (PC) hell your own self.
That won't be a popular post but I agree. This kid is probably screwed up bad and has no business having babies. If she had this baby most likely the court would let her keep the child if that's what she wanted. They'd live in a foster home after foster home together. She'd be a terrible mother and probably end up having several more kids, all of which would end up being wards of the state who would probably end up being as screwed up as their mother. Then they'd have a bunch of kids themselves at a young age who would probably end up as wards of the state or on government assistance. It just keeps on going.
I see these kids all the time in juvenile court. Their parents are worthless. The kids are perpetual screw ups like their parents that I'll see in adult felony court a few years down the road, just like I see their parents now. They get pregnant as teens, just like their mothers did and like their mothers they end up being terrible parents with screwed up kids. Only it starts out with a couple of bad parents and then through these accelerated generations the family tree fans out like a pyramid from the top down.
Adoption is an excellent option. Unfortunately there is a huge stigma against adoption in this country. We need to change that attitude and there will be few abortions.
Too many women with unplanned pregnancies keep a baby they cannot properly mother instead of chosing adoption.
Uh oh, you said grey area. They aren't going to like you for that!
Killing the unborn does not make a better solution to this tragedy.
Adoption hell---please explain your description.
Better Dead Than Adopted?
What kind of BS is that?
"...it would wind up in adoption hell"
A. The child would still be alive.
B. Do you have any idea how fast BABIES get adopted?
C. We do not know the circumstances of how she got pregnant because the little would be killer won't say, so she can murder her little mistake away.
D. What the hell are we teaching our kids with a case like this? "If you get pregnant, don't worry I found a way to make the state pay for an abortion, all we need is the right judge"
"was statutory rape involved"
Excellent question!
13 years old!!!! Unbelievable!
