You are missing the point.

1, No, she should have been pregnant in the first place at that age.

2, It is likely that she is Catholic, therefore, birth control is not allowed under Catholic religion (but then again neither is underage sex).

3, She was four months pregnant when she was told her baby was suffering from anencephaly and would not survive outside the womb - This is the reason why she had the baby induced - Jasmine would not have survived outside the womb, what is crueler, terminating after 4 months or giving birth and watching her child die straight away?

Hope she doesn't come to the UK to have an abortion as she has never lived here. Otherwise she will become a health tourist and be given preferential treatment at the expense of those who worked hard and have contributed to the NHS.

Larry, read the story again - the fetus was ANENCEPHALIC. That means it did not have a brain and had no chance at all of ever becoming conscious, even if it had enough brain stem to breath on its own. The pursuit of life, liberty and happiness? The anencephalic have very short lives as vegetables.

Except in Denver, apparently.

CD, London,

Has this person heard of the pill - or keeping her legs crossed?

She is hardly healed from the abortion - what is she thinking, and what kind of parents does she have - or is she just a nympho?

Larry Heron, she didn't kill her child, read the article again. It suffered from a condition which meant it could not survive outside the womb. It died after an induced labour. Unfortunately it was always going to die. No-one has been murdered.

Clearly the shining light of Pro Life has tainted your vision.

Pu Li, Guangxi,

Children having children is moraly wrong. And people who support them are not installing the right messages to these kids ..Life matters!!! but only if you can provide for your offspring. This child has not understood that giving life to another is the just the start . The lesson that should have been learned was missed completely by this girl and the people advising her...

. Why did she want to get pregnant again if she KILLED her first child. Whatever happened to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happines?? Everyone has the right to live and abortion doesnt even give the chance to it. The definition of murder is one human being killing another. Baby's are humans inside the womb or wherever and abortion is killing them. Therefor ITS MURDER.

Larry Harron, Denver,

Why an individual such as this can cause so much angst
is beyond me. As for those having sex - the natural outcome
of sexual activity is a pregnancy - it is the way the human animal is programmed. Is that too difficult to understand.
