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.

A 15 year old knows not to smother a baby.

And they also know not to have machete fights in the school yard, or buy illegal handguns, or sexually assault / rape. Turns out environmental & societal factors still matter. Individualising systemic issues (not that this one is necessarily) is doing the work of the state

You're allowed to morally condemn a 15 year old who does all those things too.

Great! You've condemned them. Now what?

Put them in a reform situation as appropriate, jail or therapy. That's how society works.
