      Worse.

      Apparently she was living with him, and wanted to keep the baby.

      He and his parents told her if she kept it or told anyone she was pregnant, that he’d break up with her and kick her out of the house.

      Like, this is the exact opposite of what conservatives wanted with their anti abortion law, and likely why they’re not using it.

        I hope the Democrats pounce on this, because this is the sort of shit that was considered over emotional hand wringing when people suggested it could happen. But then again, they said the same thing about the 10yo who needed the out of state abortion, o who knows what good it will do…

        I’ve heard conservatives claim that many liberals actually want forced abortions, because it’s really about eugenics and population control.

      Grey area. Not a large age gap and they were together while both being minors.

      That mom and son come across as really gross. I hope that girl gets real help.

      She had been in a consensual sexual relationship with Kadyn Swainston since she was 15 and he was 17, and the relationship continued after he turned 18, the girl told police.

      Was “supposed” to be. Obviously parents didn’t care. Likely kicked the girl out, and now that there’s a shot of them getting something out of this case, they are all hands on deck.

      Poor girl. Gross boyfriend and mom. Terrible parents (girl).

    I don’t know what the right charges are in this situation. Maybe kidnapping is the best they could do, but it certainly sounds like some sort of charges were justified. They coerced her into getting an abortion against her will by threatening to abandon her and kick her out of the house she was living in if she continued the pregnancy.
