I was referring more to the fact that she became pregnant rather than what
she plans to do after the fact.

IMO the democrooks are being hypocritical by raising Cain over the girl's
situation and the republicrooks are being just as hypocritical by ignoring it.
In this general subject area democrooks don't care who is doing what and with
whom, and republicrooks do - in this particular situation the -crooks' roles seem
to be reversed and as a result both sides appear to be dishonest - my, what a
surprise.
