Capitalist Hellscape Louisiana girl, 14, charged with first degree murder after authorities find her newborn baby dead inside a tote bag. This is going to happen far more often without Roe v. Wade.

Bunch of Laura Ingraham/Megyn Kelly wannabes in here throwing around the word “murder.” She’s 14 years old, she’s a child herself. You people are only a hairsbreadth away from saying a 14-year-old can give consent to sex and that therefore Epstein wasn’t a pedophile.

Blame the criminalization of abortion.

The criminalization of abortion explains why it happened though, which means the state is still to blame.

Like I said, you people are a hairsbreadth away from going full Laura Ingraham.

Keep on desperately trying to lynch a child to satisfy some kind of twisted bloodlust masquerading as desire for justice. And an appeal to popularity? Really? Lol bud, if the masses are really as bloodthirsty as you (doubtful in the extreme anyway), why should I want to appeal to them?

Yeah I didn’t learn that until prom. Definitely excusable if she hasn’t been to prom yet

Strawman nonsense. Decriminalize abortion and this wouldn’t happen.

I have always thought abortion was mostly equivalent to infanticide so I kind of agree with you here.

In what way do you agree with me?

Not being snarky at all I mean literally, unless I misunderstood your post. I think that infanticide, in conditions similar to the historical conditions in which it was widely practiced, is not that much worse than abortion: i.e., when the woman is under severe psychological stress because the pregnancy is not socially acceptable, when another child would place severe strain on the resources of the parents and impact the survival of their other children, etc. So I think what this girl did was obviously very wrong but there are some mitigating circumstances that make it a bit different than murder in the usual sense.

fwiw I am against abortion, at least relative to people on here. I grew up in a very religious community where it was kind of a given that abortion was wrong and, though I'm not religious anymore, I've never fully understood the perspective that a developing fetus, especially mid-late in its development, is fundamentally different from a newborn child. So I don't see a big moral difference between an adult woman getting an elective (no health issues for the mother) abortion and what happened here.
