“Sorry. No sympathy for this girl. Rather than blame her parents, she should have found a way to be independent enough to have the baby and put the poor little child up for adoption. Then carry on, lesson learned.”
I’ve actually heard someone say “if I can’t have this baby no one can!”
Her parents are not to blame. The sexually active woman is of age, but she’s irrational and irresponsible, and took up with a fiend.
This woman’s attitude made me as mad as a hornet.
No, the poor little infant should not have been aborted.
However, when these teens are screwing around, usually with someone who isn’t about to commit or support, then it’s good ol’ mom and dad who are expected to jump up and pick up all of the pieces. They’ve done their stint raising kids, but now they are supposed to support and care for their grandchild as well. They have zero say in if this was what they wanted to do, too bad, step up and do it anyway.
At most I would have offered the girl a place to live, free of charge (I assume those were already the arrangements) until the baby was born, then the baby is given up for adoption. Sad? Yes, but a better solution that killing it.
I didn’t detect one iota of having taken responsibility for her actions. Boyfriend turned out to be a loser, poor me. Mother and father made me abort baby, poor me.
No sympathies whatsoever, except for the baby.
