Cincinnati, OH (LifeNews.com) -- An Ohio teenager and his friend who are accused of attacking his pregnant girlfriend and killing her unborn child have been apprehended by police. Alfonso Price, a 15 year-old, allegedly attacked Kerria Anderson, 18, because she refused to have an abortion of her baby who Price fathered.
Price reportedly kicked Anderson, who was eight months pregnant, in the stomach and hit her causing her to miscarry the eight-month old unborn child.
Police caught up with Price Friday morning and he was taken into custody and charged with aggravated murder and felonious assault.
Later, Price's supposed accomplice, 17 year-old Jebrell Wright, was arrested and charged with the same crimes.
Anderson's mother, Angela Anderson, told the Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper that the teens stomped on her daughter and that shoe marks were left on her clothes and body after the attack.
Angela described her daughter as frazzled by the incident and said she didn't think Price was a violent person despite several arrests for minor crimes. Kerria Anderson had previously filed a police report for abuse but didn't follow through on it to press charges.
Anderson was standing at a bus stop on July 11 when the attack happened and Price and his friend were said to have dragged her to a building in a nearby neighborhood where he attacked her and left her.
Anderson was eventually able to contact authorities from an adjacent store but her baby, whom she planned to name Precious, wasn't able to be saved. Her skull had been fractured in the attack.
"She was just all broken up," Angela Anderson said of the baby, who also had numerous broken bones resulting from the attack.
Kerria Anderson also has a 1 year-old daughter and was slated to deliver the unborn child in late August.
Anderson's grandmother, Betty Payne, told AP that Price was the father of the baby.
"He wanted her to get an abortion because they were not together," Payne said. "He didn't want his baby raised by another man."
The case brings more attention to violence against pregnant women, especially those whose refusals to have abortions spark violent rage in their partners.
Ohio is one of 35 states that have a law protecting pregnant women and their unborn children and providing them with justice when they are injured or killed in an attack.
Some 25 of the states, including Ohio, allow prosecutors to bring forth two charges at any time during the pregnancy for death or injury to both mother and child and another 10 states only protect women and children in the latter stages of pregnancy.
Like I said, it looks easy to you if you haven’t lived it. She may not have anyone to help her out of it. She may not even see it for what it is. Many women are so brainwashed by it that even when they get out a large percentage of them go back...it takes 7 attempts before they make that final break for a majority of them. Many don’t live to see that 7th attempt. It is an emotional, psychological (often sexual as well) and physical abuse that has so many edges to it that it is not as simple as someone saying, “get out of it.”
You and your mom are fortunate! This girl isn’t that fortunate. She doesn’t have someone who is doing that for her. Count yourself blessed you and your mom did not have to live in the torment. Thank your uncles for sparing you all of that! Thank you mom for being able to see it for what it was and not go back to it.
This discussion is about a young woman who is not (assumption) currently in a relationship. She all ready has been abandoned by the father of her first child, (or she dumped him), and the 15 year old father of her next child will never be free again, after beating her so badly the child died.
This has nothing to do with other women, she has the opportunity now to get her act together, before she heads to strike three. I hope she does.
These totally useless scum need an injection on a prison table as they ad nothing to society.
However, if I had my way they would have to stand in line right behind those who perform murderous acts called abortions.
Want to make a bet the NAACP will....naw...better not go there.

what is more disturbing is how few folks even know what it's like including here and then they ignore it.
they think they are still freedom riders protecting the downtrodden black man from white racists
when in reality that was so long ago in another world.....a world that has since turned upside down

Add to it she has a one year old child ALREADY?
Sheesh.
The two punks deserve whatever they get, but this is just another example of why I got my family the hell out of Zimbabewe on the Ohio seven years ago, along with my company.
understanding the mentality. How did she get where she is today, involved with someone that violent? Domestic Violence and Abuse. She will need someone to help her see the issue and how to get out of it, or she will make the same bad choices over and over and over again. (I understand she is not living with the guy any more...she is still ‘stuck in the rut’ regardless of his not being present.) Prayers up that God will bring her to see the truth and reality, or bring someone to help her see it. Unless there is good healing and deliverance ministry, the cycle will continue to repeat and repeat.
Alphonzo is her cousin. She’s boinking her cousin. That’s taking “ domestic “ to a whole new level.
ewwww!
