So imagine your 11-year-old daughter has stomach pains. You and your boyfriend decide to take her to the hospital. After some tests, the cause of the stomach pain is revealed: Your 11-year-old daughter doesn't have the flu nor food poisoning. Nope. She's pregnant. So, just as you're trying to adjust to this astounding news, your 42-year-old boyfriend asks for the keys to the car so he can run an errand. And he never returns. This story gets much, much, much worse before it's over.
When it turns out your 11-year-old daughter is pregnant and your middle-aged boyfriend suddenly disappears, it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together. But then the boyfriend saves you the trouble by calling you and apologizing for knocking up your 11-year-old kid.
And it gets worse. The man, Gregory Johns, then robs a couple at knife-point. There, he reportedly leaves a note also apologizing to the 11-year-old girl for sexually assaulting her.
And it gets worse. Then the guy breaks into the home of an elderly woman, and allegedly gags her and ties her up for 12 hours. He also calls his girlfriend and tells her that the cops will have to kill him before he goes back to jail. Oh yes, did I mention? He'd been in jail 10 times already -- on charges ranging from aggravated assault to armed robbery.
Eventually, the dude holes up in a hotel in Florida, where the cops find him. He reportedly comes out of the bathroom with a knife in hand, threatens the police, and they fatally shoot him.
While we're all pondering why this mother let her 11-year-old girl around her criminal boyfriend (because this is no doubt what everyone will focus on), let's consider some other facts: We now reportedly have an 11-year-old girl impregnated by her mother's dead middle-aged boyfriend. Who is going to say this is a blessing?
I hope the mother does what is right for this little girl for a change and that does not include forcing her to have her dead criminal boyfriend's baby.
What would you do as a mother in this situation?

Wow! As bad as this is you have to politicize it by throwing in a dig at a Republican who called life a blessing. SIck.
What happened to 'your body your choice'? This little girl will have to grow up fast whether she has a baby or an abortion so she should get to decide what happens to her body. I know a girl forced into an abortion at a young age. She was fourteen and she tried to commit suicide three times before she was eighteen because of it. She is an adult now and a mother that ended up marrying the guy that got her pregnant when she was 14. His parents forced the abortion too, and now they don't speak to any of the parents, at all. I know woman that have been raped that have decided to keep their baby and raise them. My aunt did it, and her daughter knew her whole life how she was conceived and they've all been to therapy to deal with it. You can not decide for someone else what is right. I am so disgusted with the Pro choice people that say you shouldn't force someone to carry a baby are now saying you would force a child to have a very invasive surgery that would result in the ending of a life and she doesn't get a say.
Seriously? There are people on here who can ‘justify' in their minds reasons as to why an ELEVEN YEAR OLD rape victim should try to carry her rapists' child to term? You can even begin to compare the experience of an adult victim to that of a child's??
Adults have the emotional skills and coping mechanisms to help them deal with their situation. A child that young cannot have those skills, and no amount of therapy could ever change the impact it would have on her to carry that baby to term.
Being forced to have an abortion will always be a traumatic experience - more so if you got pregnant due to your own lack of knowledge - like being too young to know better. Most women/girls in that category got pregnant via consensual sex, not rape.
