I don't believe in a license to parent, but this case, damn! I just wish I hadn't read this. Sometimes human cruelty brings me to tears.

My sister is a teen mother. She is a wonderful and loving mother and has a support network. Perhaps many abused would be prevented if teen had support. But anal and vaginal tears is beyond horror.

Also, I don't believe that ending an early, unwanted pregnancy is necessarily a bad thing.
