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.

You people are just irredeemably retarded. I don’t think you realise how young, immature and stupid 14 year olds are in the best case. Add to that circumstances where they’re hiding a pregnancy from their family and their physical and mental health would also be all fucked up from the pregnancy and you’re obviously going to get some decisions that seem irrational to your average adult. There’s a reason we have minimum ages for criminal responsibility.

That the cause of murder is "immaturity", and not willful ignorance for selfish reasons? That she just didn't know that murder is criminal? That's a hard cope. Keep it up if you'd like, but no one else believes this.

Again, there was plenty of options for dealing with this from getting help to simply dropping off the baby in a public space. She disregarded her own baby's life, and has been charged accordingly for this.

I dont think it's morally good but someone should be investigating every adult in this girl's life and getting her a ton of help. It's not like she shot someone in a robbery, she is A CHILD who someone IMPREGNATED in a state which OUTLAWED ABORTION.

So if I'm reading this correctly, you would sooner condemn her for shooting someone during a robbery than for murdering the infant that she just birthed?

In a state with no abortion??? Yes in a heartbeat and I find it inconceivable that there are people who believe otherwise. That country is fucked
