MONTGOMERY, AL—Conveying her concerns that the additional obstacles presented by parenthood would be too much to bear, 12-year-old abuse survivor Abigail Dunn was reportedly worried Wednesday that she wouldn’t be able to handle being a mom on top of everything else she had going on. “I have several book reports and a big algebra test coming up in the next few weeks, and I had even been thinking about trying out for my school’s chorus, but giving birth and caring for an infant is going to really cut into my studying time,” said the seventh-grader, who acknowledged that the intense feelings of shame and fear associated with trauma had already placed her significantly behind her peers and added that there would likely be even greater challenges to raising the offspring of the man who attacked her. “This year has been hard in a lot of ways. We had to move to a new neighborhood, and my family life has been very, very bad, especially recently. My relationship with my stepdad is pretty much a nightmare. I wish I were responsible enough to look after a baby, but I’m just so scared that I won’t be. I’m really sorry.” At press time, Dunn had expressed hope that her unborn child would be friends with the babies of all her fellow pregnant classmates.

Peel an onion layer by layer and what do you get? Nothing.

Sweet home Alabama

Women and girls need to get out of those regressive states as soon as they can. Those states will eliminate birth control next. Then they’ll require ID for an over-the-counter pregnancy test (and follow up). Young women: Run. Get out of those states while you can.

when one child's life inconveniences another... one must die

Of course in real life social services would get involved. No child would actually be put in this problem under no abortion. It's just that both children would be alive instead of just the one....

Who knew a child couldn’t be a mother. Pro life people are disgusting

Plus your Uncle Chester is going to make a terrible father. He can't get a good job right now because of one little indiscretion with a 12-year-old-girl.

Bring back printed paper please

😢

To the old Bible thumpers it is a way to control women. Power is all they care about. They should go to Hell. Literally.

Its called Adoption or Move to NY

asherbum94 There are something like 1 million abortions a year in the US. Anyone wonder what society would be like with 20 million unwanted children (some adults) in 20yrs if ALL states made it illegal?

A reminder that onions make you cry.

Ugh, really? 👎🏻

Where’s the satire?

That awkward moment when a satirical news outlet makes sense

The onion getting dark...

The truth is stranger, and more fucked up, than fiction sometimes..

drewthegoose too real

so cute girl

🤮

The Onion. Admit it, you have now become The Garlic.

OpWolverines Not funny.

she can be any or no gender if she wants no pressure there

Fuck this hellscape we live in.

Good thing satirical websites always point out what might happen in 0.0000000000128% of pregnancies

Remember when the world wasn’t so awful and the Onion could be only funny?

You posted this yesterday didn't you?

Sometimes The Onion forgets it's parody and just tells that shit straight.

Damn.

ItsNOSAJ Would've been better with a stock photo watermark on the photo

NOT FUCKING FUNNY

This is a sad time in our democracy. No 12 yr old should ever give birth. So much for having a normal life thanks to a bunch of lily white Republicans that think they have the God given right to tell a female what they have to do. Youre all going to hell!

The onion gets it. Why can’t the rest of America realize we aren’t living in a satire comedy?

Sometimes the onion is too close to the mark.

omg

This hits too close to home

Jesus...

Holy shit.

Oh jeez...

Quit whining and grow up, little girl.

The line between satire and reality is getting very blurry. I tried my hand at some satire on the same subject ...

Aaaahhhh :(

Ouch

This isn't even funny. Just sad.

Shame on Trump!

Since when did the onion stop posting satire? Did I miss something?

Onion, you are not right. 😂

Well this went to dark places...

Stop with reading the headlines. It's too depressing..

How long has it been since The Onion moved away from satire?

adoption

At least in imaginary Alabama, the girl gets to Think something.

Jfc

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Wow, that was dark.

George Carlin had these “Pro Life” Forced Birthers nailed 25 years ago. AlabamaAbortionBill

This should be funny

Then I guess feminism isn't for her.

🤔... That is so damned... I remember those same cases in my country but the Government has no immediate action...

On the bright side, she's only 12 years away from enjoying life as a grandmother.

12 yr old Emma Roberts can't handle being pregnant? Well, she shouldn't have sold her soul to the devil in order to be famous, then.

Mark it zero

Hey! keep it clean guys, PG13!! 🤡

Well, her life stopped being sacred like 12 years ago, so you want get much pro-life support there.

12-year-old Highlands Ranch student says he was 'ready to go down fighting' by using a baseball bat against shooters'I was hiding in the corner, and they were right outside the door. I had my hand on a metal baseball bat just in case. Cuz I was going to go down fighting if I was going to go down,' sixth-grader Nate Holley said. Real good! So media outlets, except FOXNoNews keep calling for gun legislation but glorify a 12 year old talking about “he was going down fighting.” Isn’t that what gun owners say they want to do? Now the press is glorifying children having to fight to save their own lives rather than focusing on the fact that Republicans have created a deadly hostile environment by allowing unregulated gun ownership. Freedumb. I fucking love this kid!

''Cuz I was gonna go down fighting if I was gonna go down.' In what world is this thought process for a 12 year old child normal? This is a disgusting time we’re living in where this has become the norm in our schools This once was called the home of the brave before we were told by 'experts' not to fight lest we get hurt while defending ourselves. People are starting to realize that some things ARE worth fighting for, like things we hold dear - particularly our lives & our loved ones!
