Forcing a child to have a baby should qualify as child abuse
-
Having babies in poverty continues the cycle of poverty. Poverty is advantageous for the rich.
-
Vasectomy MANDATE FOR CONVICTED Rapists!?!?! Why not?
-
The United States should really examine their human rights record
-
Its already high risk for black women to have babies but a 12 year old black girl?! Its inhumane to make them have babies
-
And who is paying to help her raise that baby now? Her attacker is exactly where he deserves to be, but behind bars he obviously has zero income to provide child support. So who is supporting her baby(besides her mother)??? I'm willing to bet all those same lawmakers who wanted to force her to give birth to this baby are also denying her government assistance. Each of those lawmakers should be contributing from THEIR paycheck to support this baby. I'm so frustrated that this can happen in our country.
-
Shoutout to her mom for trying to make her life and childhood as normal as possible. So traumatic. Making people have babies you will never have to provide and care for.
-
This is disheartening. 13 years old forced to be a mother to her grapists child.
-
First this child has to deal with the trauma of being raped, and then she has to deal with the trauma of being forced to give birth to her rapist's baby. It's not pro-life to destroy a little girl's life like this.
-
Mad respect to the Dr. She is speaking out about these laws and not enough doctors are.
-
No one in the pro-life party is talking about the effect of rape on the baby forced to be born via epigenetics or trauma that the mother experienced
-
Bad: forcing a child/woman to carry a rape-induced pregnancy to term. Worse: in a lot of states the rapist has parental rights.
-
This is so sad and scary. The toll a delivery took in my 33 year old body I can’t imagine my 13 year old going through delivery. Your body is changed forever. This is such an injustice.
-
These ladies who are denied abortions need to put their state representatives name down as the father. They are the ones making them have the babies.
-
Whatever happened to separation of church and state?
-
It’s interesting how America likes policing the world about human rights abuses when things like this happen in their country…
-
Politicians who try to make medical decisions for citizens should go to jail. This is evil.
-
My friend just found out that he was a product of rape. the pain in his eyes and voice talking about it and realizing why he was treated so badly by his mom. He is the most loving young man in spite of this.
-
What’s worse is that, the father of this child will still have parental rights. It’s a sickening situation that has been around for decades and it’s time for a change.
-
This is heartbreaking. I don't even have words. Being forced to raise your r*pist baby is inhumane
