HOUSTON -
A lawsuit claims a 16-year-old girl is being coerced to have an abortion against her will.
The teen is two months pregnant and is represented by lawyers with the Texas Center for Defense of Life. A judge granted a temporary restraining order to save the baby's life.
"We were asking judge to stop them physically forcing her to have an abortion. She is legally protected. They cannot drag her to get an abortion, force an abortion on our client," attorney Stephen Casey said.

She's a good girl!
My own other half is the child of a 16 year old mother. I'm glad that 55 years ago she didn't get rid of him. The world would have lost a hero!
Not in anyway do I condone teenage pregnancies but this young lady's protective instincts give hope to the human race! Thank God for 'good' lawyers!
But that's just my opinion!
I'm real glad some days I have a Son and not a Daughter. I don't have to worry about having a child bear their own child and basically bring hopes and dreams to a crashing halt on the spot.
I understand exactly what you're saying BUT the judgement depends on the measuring stick being used.
Is she a 'useful slave' to the masters, out working 9-5 paying the majority of her wage in tax, bills, food and then up and slaveing the next day again! Now that really is a 'useful' life, or is it?
Oh, I'm well aware of my duty and obligation as a parent to help support a child my son may be half of making while he's a child himself. The thing is...if that happens, I've 100% and totally failed as a parent, on every level. That's how I see that outcome. Failure. Total. I see NOTHING positive about children having children. The stats of outcomes in real world lives just don't bear out enough chance to see anything good come from it for it to be a happy occasion on any level.
TextI figured that was coming up quick for an argument. 'Kids are having sex anyway...can't help it...not the parents fault'.
Yeah, that is the cheap and easy way out for parents. That logic of 'gonna happen anyway' is the basis for a generation wasted to TV babysitters, Facebook educations and all the common sense God gave a billy goat in more cases than we'd all like to admit, I'm sure

Is the daughter living at home under the parents roof? They have every right to insist she gets one, or leaves home.
Another girl opens her legs and gets knocked up, well done girl! now you want to inflict your drama on your parents because they object to you bringing up a baby under their roof, under their terms, move out drama queen, stand on your own two feet if your old enough to get knocked up your old enough to stand on your own two feet.
"hey ho there she goes either a little bit high or a little bit low, she thinks she's made of candy..."

Its called human instinct, we all want to have sex its in our dna
Ill tell you what when you actually raise some children you can then judge other parents
Do you blame your parents for all of your faults?
