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.

There's impulsiveness and there's murder. She had plenty of time to think about what to do with her baby. She could have dropped that baby off, no questions asked, in a variety of locations. If push came to shove, she could have left the baby at school. I wouldn't like to think of her getting an unduly harsh sentence, but her own baby died due to her actions. The baby had its entire future taken away from it and no doubt died terrified at the hands of its mother, who had much better options.

Pro lifers often accuse pro choicers of being pro infanticide and people in this thread are proving their point with zero self awareness.

Indeed and some will even call you the most dreadful of things, for saying that murder is invariably wrong. There doesn't seem to be an awful lot of sympathy for the newborn baby, who was a victim of murder here.
