BRENTWOOD, N.H. -- A 19-year-old North Yarmouth, Maine, woman has accused her parents of kidnapping her after she told them she was pregnant.

Katelyn Kampf told police that her parents, Nicholas Kampf, 54, and Lola Kampf, 53, kidnapped her Friday, forcing her into their car to take her to New York state for an emergency abortion.

In court documents, police said Katelyn told them her parents were upset Friday after she told them she was pregnant, chased her into their yard, tied her hands and feet and loaded her into their car. She said she was also gagged.

When the Kampfs stopped for a restroom break in Salem, she escaped and contacted police, Katelyn Kampf said.

1. oh boy, get ready

Republicans will be introducing laws to stop this problem in 28 states.

[ComerPerro]

19. and, since the victim is 19, they will want to make it so

abortion is illegal for anyone, anywhere, in the name of "protecting" people.

[Deja Q]

2. Isn't "Kampf" German for "Struggle"?

:wow:

[yurbud]

11. Yeah, Pat Buchanan used it in his famous Kulturkampf speech at 1992

GOP convention.

[semillama]

3. The reasoning sounds fishy to me

No doctor would perform an abortion on an unconsenting adult. Makes me wonder what was really going on. Sounds like a real abduction, but the reason for it just doesn't hold water. Something else is going on here.

4. a doctor would never do it

Maybe they thought in the long car ride they could convince her of the prudence of their actions.

[TriMetFan]

5. That's what I was thinking.

The young women is 19. There is more to this story.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. Mmhmm.

Sounds like the woman panicked.

She's probably got anti-choicers trying to convince her not to have an abortion and they tricked her into making up this shit.

10. Ding Ding Ding

Incoming propaganda alert!::::Propaganda catapulting NOW!

[China_cat]

13. That might be what they told her

but he had a rifle in the car. I have a feeling the abortion they were talking about was to be a retroactive one.

[Greyhound]

7. Ridiculous on the face of it. n/t

[Generic Other]

9. Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

No clinic is going to accept a bound and gagged patient for a procedure.

[Greyhound]

14. Maybe, if it happened at all, it was a deprogramming intervention... n/t

[hyphenate]

16. That's what it sounds like to me

I would be suspicious if she had been involved in a cult for a period of time. OR of course, she might be unhinged at the very least. Perhaps she is pregnant from a married man? Lots and lots of possible stories here.

[underpants]

8. Hmm I'll have to recheck our book but I don't remembering tying & gagging

[yurbud]

12. who would perform an abortion against her will?

[Catherine Vincent]

15. I know we don't know the whole story but I wonder why the parents

were willing to go this route just because the father is a jailbird. I'd like to know the nationality of this jailbird. Hmm.

[loyalsister]

17. The flip side

The alternate bad scenario that could take place with parental notification laws.
Authoritarian parents can be pro-choice, too.

[mnhtnbb]

18. She's 19. Her parents have no say. Hope the cops throw the book

at the parents for kidnapping.
