Well I read through the first fifty posts and found no one expressing
ANY CARE WHATSOEVER ABOUT THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF THE CHILD MOTHER!!!
Why am I not surprised? I bet no one in the next fifty did either.
Go ahead. Ruin this little girls life. Kill her maybe. She made her choice! (God you people make me sick)
If THIS is the Love of God may He strike me deaad NOW as life on this planet with YOU is unbearable. Jesus! Please Lord! Tell me there is more than THIS!!!
Calm down. Terri Schiavo is still dead. You can take comfort in that. (Or whiskey and whatever it is you do.)
There was a thread a few months back about a 9 year old who was pregnant by an uncle. A handful of posters expressed a little concern for her (while still refusing to endorse an abortion), but the vast majority chanted the party line "So what if it'll "inconvenience" the girl? It's not the baby's fault!". Never mind that a 9 year old who's forced to carry a pregnancy to term is quite likely to end up genuinely wishing she'd never been born.
Clearly you missed some of my other posts. I do not agree with those whose pro-lfe views stop at the moment of birth. This poor girl needs our prayers. And I think the best possible outcome for her is adoption. But I'm not convinced she will do that.
Is there any evidence her life is in danger?
"ANY CARE WHATSOEVER ABOUT THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF THE CHILD MOTHER!!! "
Uh, this teenager declared to a court that she can take care of herself (Even though her actions prove otherwise). She's run away from a group home. She's put herself in danger, and now put herself in the position of wanting to kill her own preborn child.
Does it make sense to express more care for her well-being than she does for herself?
"Go ahead. Ruin this little girls life. Kill her maybe."
What the H-E-double-hockey sticks have we come to, when deciding to say "NO" to a 13-year-old is now "ruining" the child's life? Are you channelling all the world's juvenile angst?!? I daresay her life was already pretty messed up when she got preggers out on the streets at 13, and an abortion is the last thing she really needs, both for herself and her child.
The only person that risks geting killed in this is the unborn child involved.
"She made her choice!"
And all choices that children make in life are all valid?
Parents know that children don't always make the right decisions. But how to explain and teach that? Parents know that shielding children from the consequences of their own decisions is not always 'love', but stunting their development.
Maybe it would be one thing to CLEAN UP HER LIFE to have her carry the baby to term, realize how she is unprepared for the consequences of her decisions and start thinking things through.
You are not alone Mercy. It's sad these people are so vocal in the Republican Party. If national defense or, to a lesser extent, economic issues become less important these people will effectively destroy the Republican Party. They may be close to doing that anyway.
