Man Tricks Pregnant Girlfriend Into Taking Abortion Pill
CNN ^ | 9/10/13 | Lateef Mungin

Posted on 09/10/2013 8:27:15 AM PDT by ek_hornbeck

Remee Lee was elated when she became pregnant, but those feelings quickly turned into a nightmare that won't let go of her.

Her boyfriend wasn't happy about the pregnancy, but it was Lee's dream to have a child. Until her boyfriend, John Andrew Welden, took that dream away.

This week, Welden, 28, pleaded guilty to killing their unborn baby. How? He tricked Lee into taking an abortion pill, causing her to miscarry.

"Every day is a nightmare for me ever since this began," Lee told Chris Cuomo on CNN's 'New Day' Tuesday. "Even hearing the guilty (plea) yesterday, it's hard to believe it, it's hard to read it and know that this actually happened to me."

Lee, 26, was in the Florida courtroom Monday, dabbing away tears as her former boyfriend accepted a plea deal that could send him to prison for at least 13 years

The hypocrisy of abortion law is astonishing. If the father (or a stranger) causes a woman to miscarry, he's guilty of murdering the child, and rightfully so.

But if the pregnant woman does precisely the same thing, she's just exercising her "rights." Liberals sure love to have things both ways.

Amazing since the FDA ordered by courts now allows drug stores to sell these pills to underage teens without parental consent or even notification.

But a father of the unborn newly fertilized egg (I assume) tricking the mom into taking the same pill is murder?

Lib justices rulings are completely inconsistent.

If the perp’s father gave him the abortion pills, he should be sued for everything he had and everything he will ever have. He’s as guilty as the perp IMHO.

In this story is the kernel of why abortion on demand. is mostly helps promiscuous men and hurts women. I confess that when I was a young man (and not a Christian) I was all for it. But I also never really thought about it beyond my own narcissistic needs. As is the case for most pro-abortion folks today.

Actually, its most vocal supporters are promiscuous women who think that their "sexuality" trumps any and all ethical and legal principles.

Why so? You should be accustomed to these injustices from the godless left. Its the same reason that a white who happens to kill a black is held to a different standard than a black who kills a white. Its the same reason that a Christian must "compromise" to affirm gay marriage, but gays may spew incessant hatred and vitriol at Christians.

Justice may ONLY be achieved when the just are in charge - and that is unlikely to happen again any time soon in the United States of America. The current electorate is incapable of selecting candidates based upon merit and integrity, so we get the leadership which we deserve.

How is this murder?
The pills are meant to (kill) end the pregnancy, which is what happened.
If this woman had taken the pill, no one would care.

That's my point. If a woman terminates her pregnancy, it's perfectly legal. If somebody else does the same, he's charged with murder (the article states that the boyfriend could have faced life in prison for something that the mother could do at will).

This is so shocking-not

If a majority, or 100% of all decent men, defined as not deranged, had sex with the intent to accept, and provide for, resultant children, and their mothers whom the children need, with the pleasure as a bonus, as God (who created sex) intended, there would be no need for birth control and its ultimate act, abortion.

There would be very little.

But men, in their victim hood, under the thumb of feminism, from which they remove themselves only and simply through acting as men, instead of reveling in inconsequential, irresponsible sex, are off the hook in society. But they are, in fact AS, if not, primarily responsible for the abortion of the babies they conceive

That’s the truth. They know it.

Of course men are killing their own babies liki this guy did

He should have pled homosexual: She tricked me into having sex with her, I just wanted to be friends.

So if the woman gets an abortion then the fetus is not alive.

If the man somehow tricks the woman into taking abortion pills, the fetus what...magically “becomes” alive and the man can be charged using a murder statute?

Not too much illogic there, I see.

Why is she sleeping with a man who doesn’t want children?

It's not illogic. It's called Doublethink!

Don’t say no one. There is plenty of awareness about the abortifacients effect of the pill

The Catholic Church not to be confused with the USCCB, the RINO faction, has been solid on not using birth control without wavering. As a 2000 year old institution it intends to remain that way. Any practicing Catholic knows birth control is evil, and why

Equal protection is called for.

The logic of this is so contorted. By definition, to murder, one has to end the life of another. That means the act took place against the baby not the mother. The mother legally has nothing to do with it. Whether she wanted the child dead or not should be irrelevant. This logic should outlaw all abortions as it is an act of an aggressor (doctor, pharmacist, boyfriend, assailant, etc...) against a victim (baby).

On the other hand, one could argue that the intent of the mother is the overriding consideration. In which case, murder should not be the charge. Instead it should be something like assault. It should be the same as if he tricked her into cutting off her own hand.

Either of those scenarios would at least be consistent. Although, only one would be right.

Oh, so this poor man is being criticized for something that a woman could do with impunity. Poor, poor guy. What about the fact that he tricked her, caused her to abort against her will? Does that matter at all? What about all the men who don't want to pay child support, so they pressure their girlfriends into having abortions? It's not always the "evil woman" who wants to abort. Men "benefit" from abortion just as much as women do, because it enables them to sleep around and never suffer any consequences. Many men on FR love to blame women for everything, but there is plenty of blame to go around on both sexes.

Certainly if the father knew they were to be used without her consent.

Like it or not, that's precisely what's happening. A man can be charged with murder for something a woman can do with impunity.
