Pregnant Teen Wins Abortion Battle

148. The girl does not need a cell phone

when a land line will do just fine. Babies do cry and cry often. Mothers have been surviving newborn children for centuries, long before the advent of phones/cars/TVs/Computers. The time has come for reality to sink in. A baby is not an accessory nor a toy. It is a sentient being that will require round a clock care for many years. If she chooses to keep the baby, her childhood is over and she will need to grow up and grow up fast. Adoption might not look so bad after awhile. Coddling is the last thing that she needs and will not help her in the long run. She also does not have the right to dump the baby on her parents or grandparents so that she go out and act like a teenager, she lost that right as soon as she got pregnant and decided to keep the baby. The universe no longer revolves around the girl.

Edit to add: I am pretty hard core in my reaction because my former step-son (of legal age) was dating this young girl (of legal age) and practically moved the girl into our house. She was around all the time. I did not find out until I came home from a brief trip that this girl, in fact, had a young child (less then 2 years old). My neighbor told me that the girl had brought her daughter over while I was out of town. My first thought was - who on earth was looking after that child all those hours that the mother was at my house? I as also aware that she had a pending drug charge (I found the document in my house - it was my house I reserve the right to snoop!). I called DHS and told them all about girl and asked them to look into things to make sure that the child was ok since I had no idea who was taking care of her most of the time. The state ended up taking the child away from the girl. This same step-son wanted her to get pregnant so that they could have a child together. The step-son is a whole other story. This kid was not even capable of taking care of himself forget having a child. And his girlfriend was more interested in running around then staying home and taking care of the child that she already had.
