[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't help thinking that this type of story gets a "shrug" from the police (who haven't gotten around to saying that Ashley was sexually assaulted) and the general pro-life community because Ashley is black... and there is an unconscious belief that black girls mature faster and want to be sexually active and have babies, and they have no real future plans.

If Ashley was a skinny, white girl from a two-parent family (i.e. 12 yr old white Ashley has a bright future), I think there would be more outrage about this.  But, my imaginary white Ashley from a family with enough financial means doesn't get to the situation that the real black Ashley came to, because the imaginary white Ashley's parents get her to a state that has abortion and the matter is resolved.

I know a girl who was like my imaginary white Ashley.  She got pregnant at 15 (not through rape by a stranger).  She was taken for an abortion.  Although her parents divorced, she went to college... and is now a successful lawyer.

One could infer from the lack-luster interest by the pro-life group (and law enforcement), [b]that restricting abortion services is really about punishing the poor and especially black girls and women.  [/b]

It is really awful.  I knew there would be a "parade of horrors" from Dobbs.  This is it.[/quote]
It’s certainly a part of it. The kind of men who thought that visiting an enslaved girl for sex (rape) enjoyed the punishment aspect. It’s not like they taught their sons any different. [/quote]
