re: Teen wins court case against parents to not abort her baby.

Quoting Dr. Paradigm Shift:" Oh, same here. Absolutely.I'd be appealing that immediately. I don't understand this attitude some people ... [snip!] ... great thing, that she shouldn't be punished. My kids ever get anyone pregnant at that age and they will be grounded for life. "

Yes, I would take away all luxuries so that they could get a glimpse of the life that they would be living.
I won't lie, I'd be dramtic about it. I'd even go as far as taking them down to a welfare office and make them sit in the office for 2 hours. A drive through the hood may also be warranted.

Quoting Sarah Bare-ah♡:" Hell no. This wasnt about an abortion. I mean she doesnt even live with them, they cant possibly have that much influence over her life. "

Exactly. And, I'm not sure what the reasoning is for her living with the boyfriend to begin with, but I would not be surprised at all if it was something like, "my mom and dad are SO MEAN, they won't let my boyfriend stay overnight. " or whatever. No criminal charges were filed, no police history...that says a lot to me.

Yup. Same here. Major drama, because it is A BIG DEAL. Sitting in the welfare office is brilliant. Ha. We'd be throwing out/selling all her designer/brand name clothes and replacing them with smurf from Goodwill. Eating ramen a few nights a week.

Yep, this was purely about a teenager manipulating the system to get what she wanted. And she had help from adults in that pro life group that represented her.

We are totally on the same page. lol It is a big deal. I want the brightest future possible for my children & that doesn't include them having children when they are children themselves.
