This occurred in Indiana just this week. I trust abc as a reputable source and the writer repeatedly referenced court documents to source their information. It's really unfortunate that the girl felt the need to hide their child from the father. They had sex and should have realized the possible ramifications of that. This story is a perfect example of the importance of proper protection and sex ed. If they had both of those tools they would've been on the same page of not wanting a child, but because they did not, they obviously struggled with two different opinions that were to affect both of their lives. The father took unforgivably reckless action, but if we can mentally bring the situation down to a respectable level of abortion vs. no abortion the issue at hand is much easier to understand and sort through. I am pro-choice, which is often confused with pro-abortion and that gives a very obscured view of my actual beliefs. Being pro-choice I believe she technically had the right to keep the child, but it is his child too, so it should've been a discussion rather than a one-sided decision. This incident can be related to pro-choice advocates marching on Washington in 1992.

Zoe Williams: 16-year-old kills mother of his fetus
After being reported missing by her mother, a 17-year-old cheerleader was found stabbed and suffocated to death in a dumpster. It was discovered that the father of her unborn child was the murderer. He blamed her for waiting too long to tell him and said that he did what he needed to do. He lied to the police repeatedly before finally coming clean. She was the manager of his football team.

It is sad that the father felt the need to murder the mother and their child and I feel like this could have been handled in a much safer way.
ReplyDeleteIt’s so upsetting that this had to happen. I agree with Zoe if they both would have just used the proper tools so they wouldn’t have a obligation to take care of, a baby. I hope the man gets what he deserves too. - Joziah German
ReplyDeleteThis is breathtaking that a father chose to murder the mom and child this man needs to be helped before he does something else.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why kids should practice safe sex if they're not prepared for this. Murdering the mother of your child is the worst possible way to get rid of your unborn child. What was going through this guy's head?
ReplyDeleteI find this situation to be crazy and i agree with the proper knowledge and tools the outcome could have been avoided!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery well written post. I agree with you that if one is to do something like that, then they should be prepared for whatever outcome that happens.
ReplyDeleteI like your explanation on the difference between pro-choice and pro-abortion.
ReplyDeleteI hope this young man gets what's coming to him. Its bad to take a life under any circumstances but the fact that he tried to excuse it this way absolutely disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThis is horrifying. I agree with you, if you are going to have sex, use safety. Killing the mother is in no way the answer. There was another story I heard a while ago when the boyfriend put “abortion pills” (I’m not sure what it was) in his girlfriend’s drink and she lost the baby. It was horrible and wrong, and this post made me remember that story.
ReplyDeleteThat is not the correct way to get rid of a child and killing the baby and the mother is terrible. And plus it isn't his choice either, it's the females body and she should be able to chose what to do with the baby. He should of thought of that when he had unprotected sex with her tho.

I don't understand why this young man would do this. If he did not want to be part of the child or woman's life, he could have left them alone and never talked to them again. There was no need to resort to violence.
ReplyDeleteIts sad that the solution to his problem was death, I feel like more sex ed classes are needed so situations like this can stop happening. Im disappointed in the youth of today, because I'm around that age and I just think it takes a lot to kill someone and be in that state of mind. I hope he gets what he deserves. -kloe rhoden
