A 17-year-old from Nebraska and her mother are facing criminal charges including performing an illegal abortion and concealing a dead body after police obtained the pair’s private chat history from Facebook, court documents published by Motherboard show.
So in this case, because you don’t like the person, you deem to have to go through pregnancy and childbirth a rightful punishment or what exactly is your reasoning?
In this case, when she had ample time to abort the pregnancy before it became viable, and didn’t choose to do so until in inconvenienced her fashion, my reasoning is that the baby (and yes, this was a baby) did not deserve to die for vanity’s sake. She should’ve given birth and put the baby up for adoption if she didn’t want it. There’s a reason third trimester pregnancies were illegal even before Roe was overturned. In the third trimester you’re no longer dealing with an amorphous clump of cells, which anti-women fanatics ridiculously argue should overrule a woman’s bodily autonomy. You’re dealing with a person.
