NO THE HARDEST THING YOU CAN DO IS BURY YOUR 16-YEAR-OLD SON, SOME F’ING SOCIOPATH KILLED FOR THRILLS. THEN FIGHT 6 PAROLE HEARINGS TO GET ANY JUSTICE.

And yet she seems to think killing the baby was a better option.

I thank God everyday my biological mother put me up for adoption, my parents gave me a wonderful life.

[CrazyCatChick]

He’s not her son.

Not having a job and all, she surely should not have been out trying to get pregnant. If she was “sleeping around” she was trying to get pregnant whether she accepts that or not.

[NorthMountain]

I’m a little curious as to what you mean by that.

By definition, a male child born of a particular woman is that woman’s son.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I am not sure what is going on in that clip and not sure I want to know....

[SomeCallMeTim]

That’s precisely the Big Lie about abortion.

They tell you ; just abort it and move on with your life.

They never mention the decades of self-loathing and guilt that follows. No matter how successful you get. No matter how many wonderful healthy children you have later. You still pray, almost every day, that God will forgive you.

Hope the unmarried sex was worth it.

Madelynn Ballenger discovered she was pregnant for the second time at 20 years old. Already a single mother to a young son, she didn’t know whether she could take on a second child physically or financially. “It was really, really scary,” Ballenger said. “I didn’t have a job. I wasn’t in a good position to be expecting another child.”

Let's see ...

She's the ideal Democrat voter:

Likely uneducated (high-school drop-out);
Unemployable/likely unemployable;
No Job;
No Baby Daddy present;
Pregnant again.

Gee. Wonder what party she supports?

Already a single mother to a young son, she didn’t know whether she could take on a second child physically or financially. “It was really, really scary,” Ballenger said. “I didn’t have a job. I wasn’t in a good position to be expecting another child... “How am I supposed to know what’s good for me, what’s good for my whole situation, in just a few days? ”

Meaning: I just want what’s good for me, for my whole situation, not being responsible another human life that is here due to my choices. I wanted pleasure without consequences and responsibility, and having to make sacrifices for the sake of a human life that I conceived just doesn't seem fair. Having a child with no father at home would have made me eligible for substantial welfare, but what about my freedom? And how many men want a long-term relationship with a women with children?

Welcome to the Me generation 2.0. But at least she did give birth.

The baby was adopted. The woman who adopted him is his mother.

[NorthMountain]

The woman who adopted him is his mother.

True.

The woman who bore him (and, in the face of a depraved and murderous culture did, did not kill him) is his mother, and was so before he was adopted.
