Oh dear gods. In Michigan you can't get an abortion without at least one parents' permission, so a sixteen year old girl had her boyfriend hit her in the stomach with a baseball bat until she miscarried. They face criminal charges, but what they need, what they needed, was counselling and education - enough to show them all their options, enough to help them talk to their families. Better still, they needed the simple right to go to a doctor for advice and help without being dobbed on. I just don't think they knew what the hell to do. Even better still, they needed the education that could have helped them avoid the situation in the first damn place. Poor bloody kids.
