Ok maybe I needed sarcasm quotes >_> also she says that in the article...... assumed you read it.Jaythulhu said:Heh, no offense matey, but I'm old enough to say that if someone's peers/friends think they're boring for not drinking, those peers/friends can fuck right off. I'm far more interested in my health and (if i was a woman, especially a pregnant one) even more interested in the health of my child over what my so-called friends think. Usually those type of "friends" are called toxic, because they're bloody bad for you.EonEire said:But they will think she is boring!Jaythulhu said:

...Well, another stupid ***** being stupid. Not much else to say besides she's a horrible person who will probably have the government pay her, while the baby is taken away to live a life as this kid...
I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, GetCent.com
I just... I just don't think it's right to let that baby be born in a world where the mother is a negligent alcoholic, and if taken away, would probably wind up in an orphanage or foster home longer/more often than it could stand. Either that, or it has some birth defects, most likely fetal alcohol syndrome. Probably a host of other possibilities. The chances of this baby living out a life that is both personally fulfilling and universally productive are slim to the chance of none.
In this situation, I'm sorry, I believe the government should have the right to abort this baby. I've always been an advocate of the rights of the child over that of the parent, and in this case, I still hold it. I know there's the "slippery slope" argument of when government loses power, but... this is something I feel is something to let them take control over.
If this woman won't do it herself, that is. I'd really like to see her take some form of personal responsibility (though... she doesn't immediately come across as the type). Just stopping when there's a bulge is about is good a method as pulling out (hey-o!).

I prey the child comes out ok because in my opinion that's practically murder. I'm guessing some individuals with governmental power may think the same way, I hope. Also the part about not wanting to stop living seemed very self centered, I'm sure the child doesn't want to cease to be living or worse brain dead. Not to mention if she didn't want the responsibility she should have I don't know made the dude wear a condom there like 99cents a piece or less and are easy enough to carry around.
It's like the smaller long term version of slowly drowning another person in alcohol 3 days a week and saying no I have the rites to do this.

Personally, I believe that you should not be drinking alcohol while pregnant at all, given how much damage you can cause to a child in development. What irks me more than her doing it is her reason - she doesn't want to be considered "boring" to her friends. Abort the child. It will either not survive, or have serious problems or the rest of its life.
If it's born, it should be taken from her because she has clearly shown that she can not be trusted with her (unborn) child. Also, since she's a teenager who loves going drinking, she probably doesn't have the income to support a child.
I'd say social services needs to let her know that drinking that much while pregnant is NOT OK, and that she has probably caused irreparable damage to her child by drinking, but she clearly does not care, so what's the point.

Quote from the article;
"But to defend herself, the Waltham Abbey, Essex, resident says: 'I'm young and I don't feel ready to stop my life."
DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CHILD THEN
...*ahem*

huh, i find it interesting it's called "units", even though it is a type of unit itself, and obviously defined differently country to country...
but anyways besides that, wow this chick just needs to have an abortion already, dumb ****, someone needs to step in and do something before a very unfortunate child is brought into this world with no one responsible ready to care for it.
off topic: i came in here ready for this to be an american based story,as most bad stories that are brought up on the escapist are, and ready to see all the fun U.S. bashing that gets tossed around, to my delight it's not..

"she pretends she has morning sickness when she is so hungover she is sick."
That's just despicable, for lack of a better word. She obviously has no idea what kind of damage this can do to her child.
And she's worried that her friends will find her "boring" if she doesn't go out clubbing. Lady, the way you're handling things, you'll have MUCH bigger problems than people thinking you're boring. In more ways than one too.

Yes i agree with this but you know what that one lady got away with killing her child and had nothing done

alright so
/deviation
Agreed man agreedWrongSprite said:
It's not her body. Her body will be fine. It's the babies body. I think she should be forced to abort. If she's been doing this for even a week or two it's probably already got more birth defects than a NYC infant ICU. Also, she should be straight up executed for this. It's one of the most horrible things a person can do, right up there with rape and mass-murder.Ghostkai said:
To anyone out there saying that she can do this if she wants: you deserve worse punishment than she does.
Her actions -100 faith in humanity. You're actions: -1000 faith in humanity each.
Well, let's think logically. Does anyone need to intervene? What would be saved? Genetically speaking, does anyone think the baby born from someone of such troglodytically retarded intelligence would have much potential to begin with?
