" The abortion procedure will be magnitudes simpler than going through a pregnancy."
Her life is already much too complicated than a 13 year olds should be. Simplicity is not the issue here.
"A responsible GROWN woman will take special vitamins for a year and a half before getting pregnant. This is because pregnancy saps huge amounts of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals from her body."
I have never met nor heard of anyone concieved where the process was planned a year and a half in advance, with the exception of those that are having problems getting pregnant. Responsible woman are women who deal with pregnancies appropriately when they occur, GROWN or not. Handing this girl the "easy way out" will do nothing but compound her already chaotic life.
"Especially important are Calcium for her still developing bones and folic acid.
Folic acid is even more important, but for both the mother and child. For the fetus a deficiency can cause problems, including neural tube defects, arm and leg malformation, heart defects, and cleft palate and lips."
I have over 2+ of the above mentioned problems, i can't tell you how thankfull i am i wasn't born in an era where these were detectable prior to birth and acceptable reasons for terminating a pregnancy.
"This girl is 13 and a ward of the state. I guarantee you her Folic acid is seriously deficient. " I have no idea how effective the state is at raising children, their obviously seriously lacking in the emotional arena. I would hope they would have medical obligations that would prevent..." anemia, brain disorders, and increase likelyhood of contracting cervical and colon cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease" by providing her necessary Folic acid requirements for a healthy pregnancy. If this were not true, this is a problem of the state that should be addressed, not an excuse for an abortion.
" There's a reason female life spans were abysmal before the modern age." I'm guessing your comparing modern day state guardianship to.... i don't know... Whatever was available prior? In which case, i would think you would be complaining about the quality of care provided by the state for foster children (sorry if im not using the appropriate terms). Either that or your referring back to your previous post that pregnancies cause undue hardship for "still developing" bodies. To which i would say, biologically they are capable of pregnancy, because they are biologically ready. The issue here is whether or not a 13 year old in "modern society" is mentally ready. From my point of view, 9 months or pregnancy would do more good than harm for this child. At the very least she would learn that there are consequences to her actions, and be less likely to get pregnant again.
This girls life is already in a downward spiral. Easy access to an abortion will certainly not help her get on the right track, and perhaps encourage her to continue her lifestyle. 9 months of pregnancy will make her think twice about the next time she decides to engage in sex, and perhaps would give her an appreciation for life that she apparently hasn't learned yet.
