Reply to comment by Wide_Television_7074 in Woman Who Gave Birth In Manchester Homeless Camp Faces Reckless Conduct Charge by xforce4life

I’m just pro-woman and have basic empathy, because she was here first and she probably couldn’t even consent to being pregnant. It’s just wild to me that you can be walking around as a homeless addict and no one cares, then one day you wind up pregnant (maybe from sexual assault as is common in these settlements) and your body does its thing without you getting a say, your body gives birth in horrible circumstances and you’re just trying to survive, then all of a sudden you’re charged as a felon by the same people who were fine with you freezing to death when it was just you.

Let’s take the newborn out of the situation. Would you be so quick to defend her if she left a one year old to die in a tent? Is that just an extra-late term abortion? Is the situation resulting in its conception relevant at that point?

Yes if you have a one year old, you have plenty of time to have figured something else out or someone else to notice and gotten help.

She had just given birth outside on one of our coldest days of the season while having mental health issues and being an addict. Its hard for people in even the best health/conditions to think properly after birth while in a warm hospital on pain meds and looked after by doctors.
