    I honestly hate stories like this. What is the use of knowing this? Who does it benefit to hear this story and proliferate it?

    So we can all go “wow what a monster” in the comments?

    How many things happened today that actually will affect our lives instead?

      I think it’s a cautionary tale against forcing women to have kids.

      We need access to birth control, healthcare (including abortion), sex education, and quality education.

      These horrible things cannot be hidden, just like war images shouldn’t be hidden. This is reality and we can’t turn a blind eye. We have to address real shit that happens in the real world to learn from it and get better. Or at least face the reality of the things we force people into.
