Teen mother brutally murders newborn

Story here. Excerpt:
'A 17-year-old stabbed her newborn baby 135 times and disposed of her body in a garbage can outside her home in Oakdale, authorities alleged Thursday.
Nicole Marie Beecroft was charged Thursday with first-degree murder. The charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. She was being held in a juvenile detention facility. Bail was set at $1 million on Friday afternoon.
"She kills the baby and now her life will be changed forever," Washington County Attorney Doug Johnson said.
The Tartan High School senior told police she was in a "panic state" after giving birth to the girl on the floor of the laundry room in her home around 3 a.m. Monday, according to the criminal complaint filed in Washington County District Court. She told police she had seen the baby's finger move, and admitted stabbing the child, the complaint said.'
"panic state"-- Oh yes, I guess then we should be sympathetic then and just give it a pass.

<Sigh> She should have had an abortion.
Without having read the full story, I'm going to blame this one on religious mystics and anti-abortionists. Why couldn't she just have had an abortion? Did she feel guilty about doing that during the pregnancy? Perhaps, in a different society she wouldn't have felt as guilty and would have regarded it as a perfectly normal and completely moral thing to do.
How does this story relate to men's issues and men's rights? It's just another concretization of how far away we are from ever having "choice for men". Since abortion is still regarded as being immoral, the chances of getting "choice for men" legalized are non-existent. In fact, it's so remote that most people have never even contemplated the idea.
