I doubt that 15 year old Angela voted at all.
I don't approve of her actions, but what exactly do you want? You want to stone her to death? Or just rage about her?

I sense a hard core leftist approach - attempting to marginalize your opponent by calling them "angry" I also sense dishonesty in your calling "Angela" 15 years old. NOWHERE IN THE ARTICLE IS HER AGE STATED. I don't know her age and, more to the point, neither do you. You're entitled to your own opinions, but you're NOT entitled to your own facts
What do YOU want? DO you want more welfare recipients? Additional lifestyle support for the irresponsible? Additional rewards for stupid behavior? Is this what you want?
As to what I want is for people to have bear consequences for their actions. ONLY THEN will there be fewer irresponsible choices among the indolent.
Chances are she is an unwed mother as opposed to a married woman or a widow, so for argument's sake I will assume that is the case.
Assuming that is true, she should be rebuked and corrected for her sexual immorality, but should also be treated with Christian kindness, if she takes responsibility for her sin and its consequences.
She didn't seem to have a particularly obnoxious attitude of entitlement, like so many people do. She simply said she was disappointed and said that the thieves should be ashamed of themselves and repent before God. I don't see anything wrong with either of those statements.
I think where our society in general, and most Christian churches, including “conservative, Bible believing” ones are going wrong is treating the sexual immorality that causes these out of wedlock births as being “OK”. It is not OK at all, but a very, serious sin.
I once read a book by a very, good, guest preacher at a church I used to attend and he wrote “God is in the business of forgiving sin, not excusing it.”
IMHO, one of the fundamental problems with our churches and our nation is that we misrepresent God as an excuser of sins of the unrepentant, rather than a forgiver of sins, of the truly repentant.
This goes for so many other sins as well, not just sexual immorality. Lying and unbiblical divorces come to mind.
