Alabama lawyers say a 12-year-old rape victim shouldnt be allowed to have an abortion

[DesertRat]

So carrying a baby to term that was the product of rape is more healthy than letting her terminate?? Who are they to force the decision?

Two conservative lawyers in Alabama held a press conference this week to denounce a court’s ruling allowing an abortion for a 12-year-old who was raped, AL.com reported.

The attorneys — Win Johnson and Lorie Mullins — argued that the girl was not mature enough to make such a “life or death” decision.

Johnson, a former legal director under controversial Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, said it was ridiculous that the court would rule that the tween “was mature enough — and I’m going to put this in its starkest terms — to decide to murder her own child in her womb.”

“Now, nobody has said that to her, I bet you, in any of her counseling,” Johnson added. “Nobody has explained that to her in its starkest, rawest form, like that. But what if it was, what if she really thought through it, even as a 12-year-old and said, ‘Gosh, I don’t want that on my conscience.'”

1. Sick

[ismnotwasm]

2. Does that motherfucker have a womb living in that child?

Hell no he Doesn't. He's a disgusting pig. Abortion is a form of the purest relief one can feel and nobody should be shamed out of it.

3. Do they have any idea about how childbirth will rip her small body apart?

Do they have any idea what being forced to go through this will do to her head?

All they can see is punishing a girl child for the crime of sex that had been forced on her.

Christofascist hell is too good for these men.

14. One of them is a female

Which, IMO, makes it worse.

4. So they feel content to have a child bear a child that might well kill her

& a product of rape...

If that is the "GODLY" thing to do, then perhaps these a'hole men should spend the remainder of her gestation with their own genitals in a vice grip so that they may learn a G'damned bit of empathy.

No, I will NOT apologize for that sentiment.

[Laffy Kat]

8. She is much more likely to die in childbirth than by abortion.

Assholes.

[TreasonousBastard]

9. A 12 year-old girl from a disfunctional family is raped and pregnant...

I can't imagine what that is like. I also can't imagine what it would be like for her to raise her rapist's child. It is as sad a situation as it gets.

Have the abortion and for God's sake every Bible bearing faux moralist shut up.

[angrychair]

10. I get the outrage

But the more important question is who the hell cares what these zealots think? They are not related nor have any standing so blah blah blah opinions are like assholes I guess.

[magicarpet]

11. Yes let this petite little child carry the rapist's baby to term....

.... and then give birth to an 8lb baby and rip her reproductive system to shreds which will likely kill the poor child of 12 years old.

These Christian Fundamentalists aught to shut the fuck up and keep their noses out of other folks business.

They dream of a Dominionist Christian Theocracy. - these buy~bull thumping Fascist Nazis.

12. Rarely do I want to hurt people.

This is one of those times.

13. Pro rapists pigs.

Alabama also does not have laws against rapists having parental rights.
