Ms. Magazine tweeted this on January 28
linking to this post on its blog:
She was 14 years old and going into the 9th grade. From the moment she learned she was pregnant, she contemplated what to do. Not comprehending how to even deliver a baby (let alone how to take care of a child for the rest of her life) prompted grave fears about her future.
Being the eldest of an immigrant family of seven, she learned early to take on the role of her familys translator and primary caretaker. She could not fathom how she would tell them about her pregnancy. She pondered the level of disappointment her family might feel and the distress she would put on them with the possibility of a baby.
Not knowing the options available to her, she withheld her pregnancy from her family and friends. She had never felt so alone, confused and afraid. The days passed and her belly grew. Knowing what she had to do, she finally found the courage and sought help from her grandmother and aunt. At 21 weeks, my cousin found the proper care and support to have an abortion.
Author Daisy Khamphakdy went on to lament increasing barriers to abortion, especially for those who are young, low-income women of color.
2839530_f520Never once did Khamphakdy show concern for how her cousin got pregnant. Yet, according to Planned Parenthood, her cousin was likely raped by an adult man. From a December 2010 PP Fact Sheet:
Teenage girls with older partners are more likely to become pregnant than those with partners closer in age
From an October 2012 PP Fact Sheet:
Teenagers who have been raped or abused also experience higher rates of pregnancy 4.5 out of 10 pregnant adolescents likely have a history of abuse. Teen girls with a history of abuse are more than twice as likely to become pregnant as peers who do not experience abuse. For women younger than 18, the pregnancy rate among those with a partner who is six or more years older is 3.7 times as high as the rate among those whose partner is no more than two years older. Adolescent women with older partners also use contraception less frequently
And from this PP Fact Sheet from the early 2000s, now deleted online but which I saved a screenshot of:
Teenagers who have been raped or abused also experience higher rates of pregnancy in a sample of 500 teen mothers, two-thirds had histories of sexual and physical abuse, primarily by adult men averaging age 27.
What if the writers cousin had indeed been raped? Was it a family member? Did the grandmother and aunt have an ulterior motive to help the girl get a late-term abortion so as to kill the evidence? Did they send the girl back to her abuser?
Liberal feminists dont care. To care would be to admit abortion is sometimes used to exploit girls and hide crimes. To care would be to support legislation, rather than twist it and oppose it, to protect girls and women from coerced abortions by their rapists.
Because nothing can interfere with abortions, even if it coerced by child rapists.
With all these Immaculate Conceptions occurring, we should not be aborting the unborn Saviors.
She’s damaged for life. And not dealing with the WHOLE situation will increase that damage, guaranteed.
The situation was switched for me....I was in 8th grade and she was 35-36.
I’m 44 now and still think about it.
Abort Ms.!
A close family members ex-wife wouldn’t care.
When her daughter was 14 she bought her lingerie from Victoria’s Secret and arranged for her to be alone with her daughters older boyfriend.
This occurred on numerous occasions and we think she also took the girl for an abortion.
'Cause if we don't kill 'em in Utero, they'll be taking over.
It’s not up to PP to report known instances of child rape, they’re not mandated reporters.
Maybe PP has a deal with the Teacher’s Union.
That's not the point here... The point is that an adult man who impregnates a 14 year old girl needs to be charged with statutory rape, and face prison time.
But it's not unusual for abortion supporters to ignore the rapes of children, as long as they can keep the abortion mills open. The best example being in Kansas. Though he was protected from on-high by Kathlees Sebilius, George Tiller(The Killer) was being investigated for performing abortions on underage girls. Even Bill O'Reilly was on this story. But Sebilius and her goblins managed to rally the pro-abortion supporters and eventually brought up all sorts of ethics charges against the prosecutor, and the Kansas media participated in an incredible slime campaign, and the prosecutor lost his next election. Once that happened, the whole case of underage abortions just disappeared!

How about the family help raise the baby or maybe some other family is looking for a new baby to love adopt?
AND Who is the Baby Daddy rapist?
“Its not up to PP to report known instances of child rape, theyre not mandated reporters.”
Every medical professional in the country is a mandated reporter.
PP was repeatedly caught on tape coaching the girls on what to say to PREVENT a need to report their illegal impregnator to the police.
There are situations where the DO have to report it. They lie and have a culture of corruption to ensure that others know how to lie.
A close family members ex-wife wouldnt care.Typical liberal mindset.When her daughter was 14 she bought her lingerie from Victorias Secret and arranged for her to be alone with her daughters older boyfriend.
This occurred on numerous occasions and we think she also took the girl for an abortion.
Was her name Shirley McLaine?
What difference does it make?
<< Its not up to PP to report known instances of child rape, theyre not mandated reporters.

Interesting. It tells us what we already knew, that they are not really medical professionals — they do not even consider themselves as such. Interesting, and quite telling if people would only listen.
