Pregnant Teen Wins Abortion Battle

210. Thanks, I'll edit. I was going by a post, not the original article. I defer to the court documents.

Someone else had commented that the girl was the one with abortions, so we both mistook. I'll edit all of that to eliminate the misinformation.

I'm trying to get a feel for the culture there, how much control over these children's after school activities and time the parents may have had. I haven't been out to Hockley in a lifetime, but I'm sure it's no longer the rural area I remember.

The parents' actions as described in that article are out of control - but not because they 'want the innocent unborn dead' or whatever some would paint this as being sinister people. They have to be frustrated that these children are doing adult acts with life-long consequences. Something they did not want them to do and are now being coerced into supporting - it may be a humilation for them to have to do so.

The two minors involved, are acting out of control and irresponsibly. The law is forcing the parents as their parents and as adults, to take responsibility for what the wayward children are doing and that is exactly how laws often read. If their children had stolen something or assaulted someone, they would be called to court to pay for damages. They are going to be forced to support the girl and boy, in effect for the rest of their lives.
