ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Unfounded accusation
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Apr 13, 2013, 04:04 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm gonna leave this one alone because it isn't directed toward Ida Briggs, and the 3-post member who originated the story may indeed be a troll.
Let it stay.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Sorry, I tend to agree with Cali on this one. It looks to me like somebody posted a story trying to tempt DUers to agree that a mother should be able to force her daughter to have an abortion. I'd nuke the whole thread as inappropriate before I would hide this post. Does a thread like this fill the purpose of GD?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: When I read this the first time (before I ever got jury duty on anything in this post), I pretty much took it for trolling bullshit, too. Classic "watch the liberals force this girl to have an abortion" meme. While others may disagree, this is the opinion of many of us - that it's just a trap to get us to agree to a forced abortion (anti-choice advocates often say that we aren't just for choice - we are for forcing women to have abortions).
The story has too many holes for me to believe that this woman's daughter is 12 years old and sincerely pregnant. The father of the baby is allowed to see her until someone mentions that the father would never get near their 12 year old daughter.. uh, huh.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
