Stay away from my body?

Poor-choicers like this argument. They claim that woman's right to make decision over her body outweighs the unborn's right to life. Their favorite example is a minor who is pregnant and wants an abortion. But what if a pregnant teenage girl chooses life?

A judge in Italy decided that pregnant teenagers have no right to choose life if their parents want abortion. A 13 year-old girl, Valentina, was forced to undergo an abortion just because that's what her mother wanted. The judge decided that a minor has no right to decide for herself; that her parents know better...

Better? Abortion left the girl mentally devastated. Valentina blames herself for what she was forced to do. The girl ended up confined to the psychiatric unit for trying to commit suicide. Having her child been brutally murdered is not something she'll soon forget. Valentina's mother believed that having a child would ruin the girl's life. By taking her daughter to court to have her unborn grandchild killed, she's accomplished just that.

Yes, this is simply another contradiction of the poor-choicer's claim of rights over their own body.
But they've taken leave of their senses, so this sad spin-off should not surprise us.
How horrible for that young girl Valentina. She's the second in a long list of soon to be victims of this crime against her child.
