Why are people who have taken responsibility for their actions (unplanned pregnancy - possibly from unprotected sex, possibly from contraceptive failure - we don't know which) human excrement? They are not asking the government to take care of their child.

I am not misplacing my feelings of admiration. She did not want a child, yet when she became pregnant she carried the child to term, not taking the "easy" way out by having an abortion. She tried to get her husband to agree to an adoption, because she knew she did not want a child. To me both of these are the actions of a responsible adult.

From the brief description the husband is the one who wants his cake and wants to eat it. I hope she takes "Abby's" advise and leaves the child with him to deal with, while she visits relatives. This may bring him to agree to the adoption.

I agree wholeheartedly that both of them should take steps to insure that she does not become pregnant again, so that no other child is put in danger. However, if she had had an abortion, that little girl would not be in danger, she would be dead.

They haven't taken responsibility for anything. So they didn't get an abortion. Whoop-de-do. Plenty of people have kids mostly to milk the welfare system and for no other reason.

So now this sorry excuse for a woman is stuck with a kid she hates. She clearly is thinking about harming the baby. No. Let's say it more honestly. She's thinking of killing the baby. Why? Because she's too damned selfish and self-absorbed to care about anyone else but herself. That's why.

And you expect me to cut her some slack because she didn't have an abortion? Get real. Not getting an abortion is not the be all and end all of decent human behavior. It is merely one marker among many. If she kills the child before birth or after, murder is murder. That woman has murder in her heart toward an innocent baby even if she doesn't act on it.
