That's EXACTLY what I was thinking:

The Department of Children & Families, which has been responsible for the girl for many years, argued to a West Palm Beach judge Tuesday that the girl is too immature to decide for herself whether to carry the pregnancy to term.
This argument is crap when you consider that A) The DCF, by previously discussed law, has only ONE choice that they can make for the girl and B) If they could make the other choice for the girl, they never could in the face of community, political and religious outrage. Should the fetus be sonogramed and identified as the antichrist there's no way the courts would let the DCF force an abortion on a thirteen year old girl.

Also:
Quote:
L.G., whose parents were stripped of their rights to raise her, has been in foster care for several years. Though she is originally from Palm Beach County, sources say she was living in a group home in St. Petersburg when she became pregnant.
Who better than her to decide that living under the state's care is not something she wants to put another child through?
