    This is just completely disgusting. When everyone failed her the law wasn’t even on her side. Say what you want about abortions in general, but the audacity that people have to make getting abortions under rape or complications political is just disgusting. My heart truly goes out to this little girl, and her family, but especially the little girl. I can’t imagine the amount of life altering trauma she has gone through, and how this is going to affect her for the rest of her life. This shouldn’t happen to anyone. What the fuck is wrong with people.

      what’s really dark is most of the people around her or dealt with her case, likely have children, and instead of having empathy or being capable of putting themselves or their own kids in her shoes, they just let her suffer and give birth at 13…alas for humanity.
