Hi,
Well, after all, it is their fault that they picked poor parents who didn't prepare them properly. Their fault that they believed those who told them, over and over again, that "Be Prepared" means planning to have sex, and that would be wrong -- against god's plan. So they swore their chastity oaths and wore their circle pins and avoided dating boys with suspicious round embossments on their wallets. And then it was their fault for being young, and at the prime time when nature is screaming for them to pass on their genes before something happens and those genes are gone forever.
One thing leads to the other, and their fault of ignorance because no one has taught them better leads to their fault of being in a condition that would be so easily preventable -- if it weren't for the demands of the same people who now feel those girls should be punished for failing to have picked richer parents, more considerate sex partners, better life advisers. Heck, even for being young.
And when those girls have completed the first part of their punishment by giving birth, the same people who took away their choice now abandon them to their own devices. Are those so righteous people there, ready to adopt that child that they demanded live? Hell, no -- all of a sudden, they have a life of their own to lead and no spare time or effort to meddle in the affairs of others. Until, of course, the child of poverty, ignorance, and the mistakes of youth grows to become a criminal. Then, of course, those unwilling to let a fetus die are all too ready to take the life of a person.
Excuse me -- I need to find a vomitorium. Some idea I've eaten seems to be disagreeing with my digestion.
