Agreed, something is missing here


for starters, we only have her side of the story. Which is a 16 year describing how her parents (that she does not live with) treat her. Let's let the pure objectivity of that marinade for a while.

Then I don't understand is the basis on which she is suing.

Is it a kind of alleged assault situation? I mean, if she could not have been legally required to have an abortion, then extra-legal means would need to be in the frame. Surely that would imply a criminal charge?


Yeah, that was my question earlier in the thread. Given the parents aren't in a place to physically drag her into an abortion clinic and tell the clinic what they want regardless of the wishes of the daughter, exactly what she's suing for is kind of unclear.

"I demand my parents let me live with my grandparents and don't take me to an abortion clinic, exactly like what is already happening."

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Sad thing is for all the trouble she putting everyone else through, when that baby drops I'm willing to bet she won't be the one who ends up supporting it.
