    That’s a little misleading, this was a 16 year old who was living with her 18 year old boyfriend and his mom. Obviously having an abortion was the only remotely sensible thing to do rather than bringing a baby into that household.

          How convenient of you to forget them threatening to not pay child support, to break up, and, presumably, every other shit bag emotional abuse tactic used on this girl who probably left her parents for a good reason.

        Threatened her? I guess you’re referring to this?

        The girl said that she was “happy” to learn she was pregnant, but said Kadyn Swainston told her that he would not pay child support and that the relationship would be over if she gave birth, court records show. The girl also said that Rachael Swainston made the arrangements for the girl to have an abortion. Rachael Swainston told the girl that Kadyn Swainston would get in trouble because he was over 18, and threatened to kick her out of the house if she revealed she was pregnant to her parents, police said.

        I don’t think a mother telling her teenage son’s girlfriend that she’s not going to have a baby she can’t support under her roof is inappropriate. She could go back to her parents or anywhere else on Earth that would have her if she wanted to become a teen mother.
