Can a 13-year old girl adopt a baby if she wants to?

No. Obviously not, are you nuts?

What about a 15-year old girl? Can she adopt a baby if she feels like it?

Absolutely not!

How about an 18-year old girl? Surely SHE could adopt a baby, right?

Still, no. No way.

What if she’s 20? No longer a teenager. A 20-year old can definitely adopt a baby if she feels like it, right?

Actually, no.

Hm. Weird. Why not? There are 400,000+ children in foster care, why can’t she adopt at least one of them?

She just can’t. You have to qualify to adopt a child. Rigorous background checks, home visits, proof of financial and mental stability, etc. it’s a whole thing.

Cool.

But if she, at 14, gets impregnated by an abusive ex-boyfriend (who shoved her out of his moving car and left her for dead), she must carry to term, give birth and just, figure it out somehow?

Yes. That is correct.

But, she’s only 14 …

SHE WILL FIGURE IT OUT. She should have been more careful. Made better choices.

So, to “punish” her for her poor choices, we force her into motherhood, which we’ve established she’s totally unqualified for? And now, we are suddenly comfortable with a young, traumatized girl, caring for a vulnerable little screaming human being that is wholly reliant on her for survival?

Yes. Absolutely. Such an unexpected blessing.

But …

BLESSING.

Got it. ����

If livestock were wild, the females have no, or very little choice in who gets up them to impregnate them.

They also don't have the option to abort, the closest you will get to abortion in the animal kingdom is the killing, or abandonment of new borns by their mothers.

Well I feel if the US wants this then the Dad should be by law involved in the child's life if the mother decides to keep it, and by being involved I mean involved, not just transferring a few dollars at the end of the moment, every weekend with Daddy for starters, and at least 6 full weeks in the year where Dad has custody

I wouldn't make this mandatory, there are plenty of mums out there who do not want any sort of shared custody (and for good reason).

You can be certain they’d find some way to say it’s unconstitutional to control a mans life or body, I’d personally back mandatory vasectomies for straight men until they can prove they’re set up and stable enough to start reproducing

yep...... not that I would genuinely be behind mandatory vasectomies really but it certainly would prove a point

Or, just wait until they get one of their mistresses pregnant and they want to deal with it
