    Do you have evidence this woman was forced to bear this child? I didn’t read that in the article. And since you provided your opinion of why the mother did this to the child, I know for a fact you didn’t read the article.

      I do not, but I also rather meant my text as generalization for parents harming their children this much.

      Okay, let’s look into the article to see if a jail sentence would help.

      Authorities said while the officer was taking McDonald to jail, she said that her actions were done as a test to see if the child’s father “gave a f–k at all,” adding she waterboarded her baby to try and make Neal come back to the apartment.

      She allegedly admitted her actions were done “out of spite.”

      I would argue, this crime has nothing to do with the sentence and everything to do with the circumstances I and others have mentioned.

      And maybe she didn’t want to abort, but also maybe she would have chosen to, if it were more accepted and education in that matter was better.

        A lot of maybes and speculation. Sure, education is never a bad thing, but you’re trying to use this horrible situation to push your beliefs. This woman hurt her own child to spite the child’s father.

        I made no mention of the jail sentence. You made a claim that was false. I responded to it with facts from the article. You responded with some “maybes” and speculation.

        I think it’s pretty messed up to use this situation to push your opinion how having access to abortion (being “forced” to bear this child) might have prevented this. There’s a time and a place for such an argument.

          … And apparently the place is not the comment section under the link to the article. Cool.

          Have it your way, but be careful to never think about systemic problems too much. It may hurt your brain.

            But Oregon has had widely available abortion for decades, since the late 60s/early 70s.

            This lady also lives in Multnomah County, home of Portland, one of the most progressive cities in the US. She had access to many resources although it so kind like she didn’t use them.

              Oh, Mr. “pretty messed up” doesn’t want to hear an no-no-word directed at them? Shocking.
