   The father or other person maybe the female "school teacher" should be   
   denied their RIGHT as a birth parent?  Who's to say they won't get their   
   sentence commuted or even pardoned?   
      
   Allowing them to be a good parent if they were denied justice and the   
   sex was consensual?   
      
   Should an insane sex partner be allowed to NOT only cause someone to be   
   sent to prison but also to kill a human life in the uterus?

   escape the Democrats social agenda of welfare and abortion and the   
   Democrats Justice System than ever tried to escape Democrats Southern   
   plantation slavery?
