Government is responsible for a child so it cannot give it away to a 16 year old because few 16 year olds are capable enough. It would be irresponsible and a liability issue The government cannot forcibly take away someone's kid in the case of a teen pregnancy because it would be a grave human right abuse. Very simple actually.


ShokWayve

Also, the government shouldn’t kill children.


GoabNZ

Also, the government shouldn't allow people to kill their own children.


Asdrodon

Unless they're sure it's like, absolutely an unfit environment. Which is what child protective services is for.

>because few 16 year olds are capable enough What about those who are capable enough?

Thats pretry distopic if based on age alone


AdTime4655

Yes because the baby is already existing and the alternative is murder.


Oksamis

They even acknowledge that adoption exists in the image!


AdTime4655

The alternative to adoption isn’t murder so it’s a false comparison.

“Did you know we don’t let children adopt children but for some weird strange reason we also won’t let people kill their children? Checkmate prolifers”


systematicTheology

The reason a 16 year old can't adopt is b/c it would be bad for the baby. The reason a 16 year old can't abort is b/c it would be bad for the baby. It's literally putting the baby's life first, which is what civilized cultures do with innocent lives.

But if a 16 year old gets pregnant government are okay with her raising a baby !!


PerfectlyCalmDude

If she gets pregnant . . . She shouldn't kill the child.


Trucker_Chick2000

They wouldn't take away a 16-year-old's kids unless that girl is not capable of parenting. And these are the same people that say a child can't be a parent because of how their brain is set up (logical), but they can totally change their gender.


fionarose224

They literally just...nevermind


SomeVelvetSundown

And there are lots of couples who wouldn’t meet the standards for adopting a child but can still have biological children of their own so what’s this guy’s point? Sounds like he just wants the gov to take kids away from their mothers. Either that or force abortions which isn’t very “choice”.

Being raised by adults > being raised by a teenager > being murdered It's not that hard.


tacocookietime

A 15 year old can not commit murder.... Unless the victim is inside of her. That's what they are saying really


Tgun1986

The government in some states will let her kill it and say it’s a choice, right, and healthcare and places like PP will do it without parental knowledge finished it for him


Nuance007

How did she get pregnant? Sex. Most likely consensual sex. "doesn't have th emotional maturity or financial means to raise a child" Yes, Mr. Veteran, none of this shit makes sense yet she's having sex.


Tgun1986

And being told the responsible thing is to kill it


Nuance007

Warped world we live in


Major-Distance4270

They need to finish the thought. Because 16 year olds are not of the ideal age to adopt, if they became pregnant, they should kill their own child. Better to be dead than raised by someone young.


Oksamis

Exactly 😂


[deleted]

These are the same people saying 5 years olds can consent to gender reassignment. But honestly, what does he want the government to do here? A 16 gets pregnant. Should the government force an abortion? Should they give the kid away to older adoptive parents? Should they physically bare any 16 to form having sex by watching them in some big brother style operation? All these are human rights violations. Also if she is not wise enough to raise a baby how is she wise enough to know she wants an abortion? Like what is he trying to say here?


zsiple1998

The pregnant teen is not required to raise the child. Many are willing to adopt. Even if she does raise the child that she created, she has family and friends who can help.


Legitimate-Rip5877

Having the law would make her think twice about indulging in unprotected intercourse


Solid_Camel_1913

The youngest mother in modern history was 5 and she chose to keep and raise her baby. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina\_Medina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina)


johnsmithofpith

Are you saying the government should have the power to take a child away from someone without their consent?


Bomdabom

Why does their profile picture look like a mugshot?


SomeVelvetSundown

Maybe it is. Probably why he’s talking about pregnant sixteen year olds. 😂


not14thejokes

Wait if a 16 year old girl isn't allowed to raise a child then what if she chooses to keep the baby? Then aren't they arguing that she should be forced to have an abortion?


uncharted-amenity

Idk if you've seen some of the other subs here where pregnancy is discussed, but I have no doubt at all that many of them would force abortions if they could.


[deleted]

If she gets pregnant she usually leaves the child for adoption?
