[An English teenager died from complications two weeks after taking two abortion pills, her mother told an inquest into her death this week.
Manon Jones, 18, described by her mother as a devout Christian teen, opted to terminate her pregnancy at six weeks because she feared the pregnancy would cause conflict within her "Muslim" boyfriend's family, the Daily Mail reported Friday. ]
What was a “devout Christian teen” doing with a Muslim boyfriend in the first place - seems like that’s just asking for it.

My mother is christan, but my father is agnostic.
Just because someone is christian does not mean they have to be friends with only christians you fat American fuck.
My, my, general fucked-upedness all around here. Why in the hell anyone would care about the conflict in his family I do not know. Perhaps if she were told that the fact that they are Islamic fundamentalists is meaningless and retarded, she would still be alive. Shame she made such a dire decision on the basis of FUCKING NOTHING BECAUSE FUCKING ALLAH DOES NOT NOW AND HAS NEVER EXISTED.
A friend of mine is a devout Jew, and she's marrying a future Episcopal priest.
Love, like politics, makes strange bedfellows.
And unlike your space ghost, love exists.

Wow...what an incredible scumbag you are.

Feminazi: Unfortunately, here in America that is precisely what is taught in hard core fundie households and schools. I can vouch for that from personal experience.
@Pikachukid:
Yep, and every time I see the name of that drug, I wonder if it was an intentional joke.
"Are you for 86?" (86 meaning "to get rid of," as in "They eighty-sixed the guy.")
That was literally my first reaction the very first time I heard about it.
"During early trials, it was known as RU-486, its designation at the Roussel Uclaf company, which designed the drug."
Huh.. a purely UNintential joke, then? o_O
You've gotta be kidding...to be honest, the ideal solution for the girl would've been to seek medical advice before termination...That's the only critique you are allowed to make from the stats used.
I just have to make one thing clear to anyone reading this. This answer sure as hell ain't a Christian answer (love thy neighbor?). I'm a Christian and I have friends who are Muslim, Aethiest (I deeply apologies if I spelt that wrong but Firefox won't give me a spell check for it), Baptist, Agnostic, and Sikh (among others). Most Christians don't really care that deeply for things like this. The anti-liberal is a deeply twisted individual.
Note: About the misspelling of Aethiest{sic}. The only reason I spell Christian and etc right is thanks to Firefox.
What was a devout christian teenager doing having sex in the first place? I see your abstinence teaching really worked in her case. Let's not forget the bigotry; doesn't Jesus teach us to love our neighbors?
Typical. Another fundie ignoring Jesus's words in order to promote an agenda.
Oh for fuck's sake!!! She was "just asking for it"?
A teenager, doing what teenagers do, made a mistake, got scared, made a choice, and died as a result. That is a TRAGEDY.
Also, in dating a Muslim, she was probably thinking only with her heart/hormones and NOT with the ignorant "THEY'RE EEEEEVILLL" crap that most Fundie kids are brainwashed with.
The Anti-Liberal: Please DIAF. After all...you're just asking for it.
The poor child died, but she was 'asking for it' for being with someone of another religion?
Compassionate christian conservatism in action.
Gotta love how the Daily Mail is using this to push its anti-abortion agenda. Typically, it doesn't say what kind of complications led to the girl's death - could have been anything that had gone previously undiagnosed - but automatically it is assumed "ZOMG teh aborrshun is ebbil!!!11!" and wags a patronizing finger at the tragic circumstances. Bastards.
(The Freeper freak is no better, but he's not a national newspaper and his opinion is mulch).
"However, I believe, with the very depth of my soul, that without Christ you CANNOT understand the true meaning of compassion and unconditional love."
I n+1 all the DIAF comments.
But this is Free Republic. In my short time of coming to this site, I have come to expect nothing less.
Why is this news?? It happened three years ago!
The teen took the first dose of medication to terminate the pregnancy on June 10, 2005, and the second two days later. On June 15, Jones felt light-headed and experienced heavy bleeding so her boyfriend took her to Southmead Hospital in Bristol, England for a scan. She was told the scan was "normal," the report said.
Yes, of course - by having a Muslim boyfriend, she was simply begging to become pregnant and make the choice to have an abortion, only to die from complications of the abortion pills.
Edit: Some of the quotes on that site make me want to vomit and strangle someone. How can people be this hateful?
"I hate to say it, but ANY woman who hooks up with a Muslim is asking for a world of trouble, in one form or another."
"Seems like she got what she had coming."
"But paying with fire does tend to cause burns. A “Muslim” boyfriend, pre-marital sex, and then trying to do a self-abortion... three very dangerous decisions."
One of my friends is Muslim. Her mother is Muslim and her father is Christian, and they all get along very well together. When people don't let their religion keep them from respecting and liking those who are different, they all get along well together. You are a heartless vulture.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
