Remember, being "pro-life" is prima facie evidence of gross mental incompetence.

Pregnant 13-year-old who wants an abortion is denied one, because she's "too young to make that kind of decision".

So.

Does she die from a botched illegal abortion, does she die from a botched home-brewed abortion, does she O.D. on an attempt to abort chemically, does she successfully give birth and have the rest of her life ruined, does she successfully give birth and have the baby taken away because she's "too young" to do that, too, or does she successfully abort and get charged with "murder"?

Place your bets now!

Most likely, they will make her deliver, and than take the baby away, thus putting her through even more hell than a legal abortion would have. Cause she has to go through the hell of a high risk pregnancy, and assuming she survives, always wonder what happenned to the baby. And given she is in state custody already, she has no family to raise it for her probably.

This judge is skipping over the fact that Pregnancy is just plain dangerous at her age. She could come out of it fine, sure, but it is more likely to cause irreperable damage to her health and mental welfare.

I hate these people. I hate them, I hate their "religious" bullshit, I hate that they keep sticking their faces in where they do not belong.

This shit just makes me seethingly angry.

In a fit of optimism, I'm betting the ACLU's appeal goes through.

Please god.
