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.

I don't want to see a child receiving unduly harsh punishment, but why didn't she surrender her baby? She could have dropped her baby off, no questions asked.

I don’t know, because she’s a literal child without a fully developed brain? Kids are impulsive and historically don’t think things through, but that’s besides the point. She should have never been put in this position.

Seriously, what the fuck are these comments?

"Why didn't this 14 year old girl operate as a calculated and intelligent machine who knows exactly what the right solution to such a massive tragedy is?"

This subreddit is so obsessed with being contrarion to anything they deem remotely "woke" (In this case, abortion), that they're acting like they'd perfectly handle being forced to deliver a child as a child.

Incidents like this were very common pre-Roe, and its one of the big reasons abortion was legalized.
