Right to Choose? by Motte Brown on Sep 21, 2006 at 7:03 AM

Speaking of boomers and abortion. I ran across this story of a couple of boomers from Maine who bound and kidnapped their unmarried pregnant daughter -- who wanted to keep the baby -- to take her to New Hampshire for a late-term abortion.

Here are the details. The Kampfs were found with duct tape, rope and a .22 caliber rifle with a full clip in their car. Their 19 year old daughter escaped when they untied her and let her go to the bathroom in Kmart. She called police on a cell phone -- no details on how she got the phone -- and ran to a nearby Staples and hid in the back until the cops arrived.

I think this quote from Dawn Eden's blog sums up the main point of this sad event:

When someone -- a parent, boyfriend, boss, whoever -- wants a baby dead; nothing, absolutely nothing stands in the way. Not adulthood, not the law, not the expectant mother's autonomy or the respect for her decision to carry the baby to term.
