Abortion Forced by Girl's Parents
09.19.06 (8:05 am)   [edit]

A Maine couple upset that their 19-year-old daughter was pregnant tied her up, loaded her in their car, and began driving to New York to force her to get an abortion.   The daughter, Katelyn Kampf, escaped Friday at a shopping center and called police, who arrested her parents, Nicholas Kampf, 54, and Lola, 53, of North Yarmouth, Maine.   Investigators said rope, duct tape, scissors and a .22-caliber rifle were found in the Kampfs' Lexus and Nicholas Kampf had a loaded .22- caliber magazine clip in his pants pocket.   The Kampfs were upset that their daughter was pregnant by a man who is now in jail, police said, and before leaving Maine on Friday they had an argument at the parents' home.   Katelyn Kampf escaped from her parents in Salem after persuading them to untie her so she could use a Kmart bathroom. After her father went into the men's room, she used a cell phone to call for help, then ran to a nearby Staples store.

What kind of parents would do this to their own daughter?  This is absolutely crazy.  I am a Liberal but I am also against abortion.  I am glad that this 19 year old girl was planning on taking the responsibly to have this child.  I wish more young women would decide to do this instead of taking the awful alternative.

Back to the story though.  These parents need to be locked up for a while so they can realize what they are exactly doing.  It's one thing for them to not agree with who the father is, but it is another thing for wanting to kill your future grandson or daughter.  I just don't understand how you could force you own daughter to do such a thing.  I hope a trend of this doesn't start occurring when the parents don't agree with their daughters choice for a father.

Even if they did get her to a clinic, if the doctors there would have actually performed a procedure they would have gone to jail for a long time. Since the "child" is 19 years old, they would have needed her consent to even begin the procedure. Which obviously she wouldn't have given. I can not believe parents would do such a thing.

What a crazy thing to do? At least the parents are in jail where crazy people belong. They all need help.
