That poor child... both of them. When children have children this young and hide the pregnancy there's often something terrible in their lives.

For a lot of history abortion was not criminalised. Not because it wasn't necessarily considered sinful or bad or whatever. But because everyone knew the alternative was infanticide.

Catholics only changed the policy in the 19th century from memory. Protestants took until the evangelical movement of the 70-80s to turn on it. Before then if you cared people thought you were a secret papist.

Disgusting child abuse. In a just world they'd be written up for every single instance of this. China should put this in their human rights reports on the US.

Also the thing that many of these wacky anti-choice fascists don't realize is humans have always exercised control over raising children or not. Archeologists and historians say that infanticide in the pre-modern world was "shockingly common" because that was the only option those women (and sometimes their men) had without access to safe abortion.

it's a child slavery loophole, the fascist system working as intended.

god damn louisiana, god damn america

the charges will be dropped when the authorities find out the baby is Palestinian

CW please

A child facing a first-degree murder charge is such a depressing 2025 line.

Poor child, both of them.
