Let's not get carried away with the issue of race. They may be black or hispanic, but I am white, and 42 years ago, my father tried to do the same thing. My mother tells me that when she was 8 months along with me, she had a big bruise on her stomach where he had punched her, trying to make her miscarry me.

I'm just saying.

child abuse in the black community nationwide is about 2.5 times the mean.

whites are about .75 of the mean

hispanics are about 1.4 times the mean

asians (orientals..whatever) are about .5 of the mean

there is obviously a racial component to this ...amongst other factors

Who said anything about race?

Domestic Violence and Abuse is NOT subject to age, race, or socio-economic background.

She was not going to abort her baby! GOOD FOR HER! PRAISE THE LORD!

It doesn't matter that she was pg by a teen, or how, or why....everyone here has committed sins they are not proud of. She was trying to do the right thing after making a bad decision. An abuser always lays the blame everywhere except on himself. By the very questions here, you would be aiding the abuser in his 'blame-game' rather than helping to hold him accountable. I cannot understand that kind of thought process.

Maybe someone here can tell me... why is it always the female who gets blamed and judged for pregnancy when the male 'sowed the seed'??!!! If you have an answer for the question, my next question is, does that make it right?

Prayers for comfort for her. She has lost a child she planned on keeping and was growing dreams for. PTL she cannot read some of these posts here for you would be further inflicting pain on her. She is already physically and psychologically wounded, add to that grieving the loss of life.
