Police charged a Maine couple on Monday with kidnapping of their pregnant 19-year-old daughter, who was bound with rope and duct tape. The parents wanted her to have an emergency abortion. They were apparently angry because the daughter's boyfrirend was in jail.
They were headed to New York for the abortion. The daughter managed to excape when going to bathroom at a K-Mart. She called police. They found the parents searching for their daughter in the parking lot. And they found the daughter in a "hysterical state"
Inside the parents' Lexus, police found duct tape, severed rope, a pair of scissors, a 22-calibrer rifle and a loaded magazine for that weapon..
Parents held on 100,000 dollar bail for each.
If convicted, both parents face 7-12 to 15 years in prison.
But humnmm. duct tape? severed rope? a knife,? scissors?, and a rifle with a loaded magazine?
Sounds like an 'alternate plan' to me ...What do you think?.

I would never force my daughter to have an abortion. As much as I might not like her being pregnant at a young age, if she decided to keep the baby I would support and help her anyway I could.

Yeah I saw that on the news. That is just crazy. I totally support the right for a woman to choose to abort or have her baby. If that's the parents attitudes, they only have theirselves to blame for raising a daughter who would choose to sleep with a criminal without protection. However, either way, she's 19, an adult, she can choose whatever course of action she desires.

Nobody should ever be forced to have an abortion. This poor girl is going to be traumatized for life. Her parents need to be locked up for a long time. I just hope she can have a healthy pregnancy after all this trauma and stress.

I read about that and was completely appalled at those parents. I hope they serve long stretches in jail. In answer to your question, if my daughter got pregnant, I would help her however I could, and have her and her 'donor' step up and take responsibility for the life they created together.

I personally don't believe in abortion. I'd try to help my daughter however I could, but not to an abortion. I certainly wouldn't force anything on her, but I'd be really sad to know that my grandchild was dead. I'd rather her have it and keep it or give it up for adoption. I'd support her in whatever decision she made.

I never would do that to my daughter... The only way i would think about a abortion is the girl was raped or there was something wrong with the baby..

It does sound like they were going to give her an abortion by killing her. It's quite a distressing story and I hope they spend many years in prison.

Legally, they can't force her to have an abortion, even if she was a minor (which she wasn't.)
Sounds like they didn't exactly have her best interest in mind. I hope they go to prison for a long time.
