| Women and girls should not have to ask for permission to control whether or not they have a child. Period. |
It’s really not up to anyone else to decide whether a woman has a baby or not. As a women who was thrust from a comfortable MC class life into poverty after divorce (with two kids), let me tell you: being poor is a very, very compelling reason not to have a child. |
+2 As someone who experienced poverty after having been MC/UMC my whole life, people really treat you (and your kids) like crap when you’re poor. I know most on DCUM have no idea, but it is absolutely true. I’m UMC again by the grace of god, and the difference in how I am treated now and how I was treated then is just incredibly different. People don’t get this. |
| What happens if the guardian takes her out of state for an abortion? |

Not seeing this -- is she white?
I assume she is. No judge in Florida would be taking extra steps to protect the "unborn child" of a Hispanic or Black girl. |
Maybe for you but clearly not for others however, the issue isn't being poor, its a personal decision and she should have the right to choose. |
You need adult consent. I'm assuming the guardian is the one refusing to consent. |
“ According to the appeal court’s decision, the teen’s guardian supports the teen’s wish to get an abortion.” |
Because abortions are banned for only white women. Sure. |
Richt, words have meaning which is exactly how you proved my point. |
Does it make it so because you put a period after the sentence or because you insert the word period after the sentence? |
Exclamation point! |
Can I ask a question? Question mark? |
DP. The PP who said she “wanted” the baby is wrong. At most, she was “open” which is not the same thing at all. “ the minor, at least at one point, says she was open to having a child, but later changed her view after considering her inability to care for a child in her current station in life.”” She’s more mature than many adults. The judge is a POS. |
No, you may not. Period. |
