Facist Fundamentalist US Gov't. stops girl from abortion
 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4500245.stm

I find it funny that a judge ruled she was incapable of making her own decision, but didn't take into consideration whether she would be a capable mother! Bow down to God.

A pregnant 13-year-old girl in Florida has been told she cannot have an abortion because she lacks the maturity to make such a decision.
A state court granted an injunction which prevents the girl from terminating her pregnancy.

She is three months pregnant and had planned to have an abortion on Tuesday of this week.

The American Civil Liberties Union says it will launch an urgent appeal against the ruling.

'Too young to choose'

Florida's department of children and families intervened and took the matter to court, arguing the teenager, who is under the care of the state, is too young and immature to make an informed medical decision. Judge Ronald Alvarez in Palm Beach accepted that argument and has granted a temporary injunction and psychological evaluation, which effectively blocks her from terminating the pregnancy.

It is a case which, once again, plays into the heated and divisive debate about abortion in America.

The judge's ruling comes in spite of Florida state law which specifically does not require a minor to seek parental consent before an abortion.

The American Civil Liberties Union 's executive director in Florida, Howard Simon, said forcing a 13-year-old to carry on an unwanted pregnancy to term, against her wishes, is not only illegal and unconstitutional, it is cruel.

why the fuck is a 13yearold 3 months pregnant?

Dead or Alive i feel bad for her kid.
Fucking bitch, i hope someone other than her takes care of the kid.

Because instead of educating kids on how to avoid being pregnant using condoms and/or contraception, the religious freaks decided to close their eyes and promote abstinence as the ultimate decision from GOD.

so you think its ok for 13 year olds to be having sex?
instead of educating kids that actions have consequences we give them quick fixes resulting in more inappropriate actions.

Absinence = 100% proof
Condoms = Not

what a bunch of fucking shit

that doesnt work either. abortions should be legal but regulated. i dont think jane doe should be able to get 10+ a year because she'd rather not protect herself, the whole time possibly spreading disease.

Abortion would fuck up her life :2 cents:

this story is sad.....

Jim

Im Pro-Life except in maybe rape cases.
Preganacies arent a mistake, she chose her path.

No, it's not ok. But they are going to do it anyway. So educate them instead.

:thumbsup

Suuuure. Welcome to Utopia and Jesus land.

that'll become a huge mess. better not get your gf pregnant, she might tell the people at the clinic she was raped to get the abortion.

Why are you idiots living by that mentality.
Just like the other thread where the mom showed her kids how to get porn.

Problem - Kids are going to drink alcohol anways
Solution - Allow them to drink at home so you can monitor

Problem - Kids are going to smoke pot anyways
Solution - Buy the pot for them so you know they are getting good stuff and not some shit that might kill them


Do you realize how stupid it is.

Didnt think of it taht way. But you are right, we have to regulate abortions in some way.

Only rape doesnt work, i didn think that oen through.

kids dont listen. she, like most other kids her age, think they are untouchable. the only concern in her mind was getting pregnant which can be fixed easily by getting an abortion. i guess she was wrong about that one aswell. sorry, but you cant blame jesus for this one.

It's not the USA Govt. it's the state of Florida, we do have those here... state laws..

maybe I should have said
Facist Fundamentalist USA Gov't.

Yes, that is tremendously stupid as even shitty pot wouldn't harm them.

I never said the solution was to encourage them in having sex.

I am saying that closing their eyes isn't helping them.

Educating them is the only solution. They need to learn about their own sexuality and contraception.

It's like those dumbasses who think that just because you have condoms in school it's to going to encourage them. I think that it would be more responsible than acting like if a teenager didn't have a sexuality.

i guess if you tell them not to have sex they'll do it anyways but they'll follow the advice of using protection.

No, but you can blame the dumbass parents who decided to close their eyes and have faith in abstinence.

Florida law is very clear. The girl doesn't need anyone's permission to request and receive an abortion. This is the same exact agency that interfered with the Schiavo case.

Neo-con christians complain about activist judges? The most anti-Americans are the fundamentalists that want to turn back 200+ years of legal and social progress. These are the same exact people that were lynching black people, tarring Catholics, and baiting Jews 40 years ago. No difference. Same people, same churchs, same evil... the only thing different is that the KKK is now called the Council for American Values.

im sure just as many kids whos parents taught them to use protection get pregnant as the parents who ignore it. these kids actions are dictated by their friends, not their parents. its like those stupid anti drug commercial, dad says dont smoke pot and the kid turns it down when offered. we dont live in lalaland, kids do whatever their peers pressure them into doing.

It's still not a valid reason not trying to educate them at home and school.

And it's still 100% more effective than the stupid "abstinence" point of view and people closing their eyes about it.

both are affective and both have flaws. theres education about drinking and drugs yet kids still do them. if the parents were doing their job they'd have better control over their kids actions. parents today are more worried about tonights episode of survivor then their children. thats why kids today are 14 and 350 lbs from eating mcdonalds for breakfast and dinner each day because mommy wants to watch tv instead of prepare food. theres more to it then just telling them something and hope they listen.

Because abstinence works agaisnt protecting pregnacies and stds

Wow how does it feel to not only be an idiot but to be ignorant.

Weed = Drug
A drug is any substance that alters the way your body works for good or bad.

yeah, it works when followed. problem is kids dont like to listen. thats where the bat comes into play.

Like alcohol, coffee, tea and sugar ?

Of course it works. In an utopian society. That's not the world we live in. Sorry.

No i forgot to add to my description that a drug is anything that alters the way your body works other than normal liquids/foods.

In any society. If you dont have sex it is impossible to get pregnant or STDs

Unless you inject them manually but thats different.

Am i saying that kdis will listen. Of course not. But i do agree that we should teach abstinence. I think most kids now how condoms and work and could get them if needed.

Those comments are both ignorant and irresponsible.

Why punish the baby for the 13 year old girl's mistake? The baby has a right to live.

No your comment was ignorant. "If they are going to have sex anways why not make it easier on them"

Im not saying sex is bad or that we shouldnt teach them birth control im just saying that we cant just teach them about condoms and pills and not just about abstinense, a mixture of both must be applied.

No, my comments were not ignorant.

Thinking they will be abstinent (And actually pretend the kids know everything about contraception and condoms *wow.. That was pretty pathetic*) is being irresponsible. Welcome to 2005.

Wow. Amazing how you can contradict yourself, and in the same thread! Congrats!

you sir are wrong.
there is nothing wrong with 13 year olds having sex. It is going to happen no matter what.

It was happenning 150 years ago, and 1000 years ago.
Do arranged marriages tell you anything? 13-14-15 year old girls beeing married and starting families earlier in the century when people we're even more religious.

Wake the fuck up.
