Reply to comment by SnooPeripherals5969 in Woman Who Gave Birth In Manchester Homeless Camp Faces Reckless Conduct Charge by xforce4life

Yeah the misogyny in these comments is unsettling but not surprising. Homeless people freeze/starve/overdose all the time and no one cares, but all of a sudden an iNnoCeNt bAbY is involved and everyone is all shocked pikachu face that a young homeless addict in need of immediate post-partum/medical/rehab care maybe didn't make the best decision with regards to its well-being. She probably knew she'd get into legal trouble and get it taken away, which is why she tried to prevent them from finding it.

I just feel terrible that she had to literally give birth outside in the cold but "pro-lifers" can't see the connection between taking care of homeless adults and taking care of any potential children. And now they want to charge her as a felon for endangerment when they didn't care whether she lived or died before. Another example why access to contraception and abortion is healthcare.

We fortunately have access to abortions here in NH. We also have baby safe havens.

I think people are upset because a child was endangered due to her actions. She had the choice to give birth in a hospital but simply chose not to. Not sure why you are saying "she had to literally give birth outside..." That false. You call 911 and they take you to the hospital, doesn't matter if you are homeless/drug addict/etc.

You make it seem like she was forced to do any of these things. She wasn't, she chose to.

I’m just pro-woman and have basic empathy, because she was here first and she probably couldn’t even consent to being pregnant. It’s just wild to me that you can be walking around as a homeless addict and no one cares, then one day you wind up pregnant (maybe from sexual assault as is common in these settlements) and your body does its thing without you getting a say, your body gives birth in horrible circumstances and you’re just trying to survive, then all of a sudden you’re charged as a felon by the same people who were fine with you freezing to death when it was just you.

Let’s take the newborn out of the situation. Would you be so quick to defend her if she left a one year old to die in a tent? Is that just an extra-late term abortion? Is the situation resulting in its conception relevant at that point?

Yes if you have a one year old, you have plenty of time to have figured something else out or someone else to notice and gotten help.

She had just given birth outside on one of our coldest days of the season while having mental health issues and being an addict. Its hard for people in even the best health/conditions to think properly after birth while in a warm hospital on pain meds and looked after by doctors.

She didn’t “have to” give birth outside in the cold. She chose to spend all of her available funds on drugs instead of a home, even during the time she knew the baby was coming. She also chose to get pregnant with no ability or plans for what would happen next.

Yikes! Do your research before sticking up for scum!! ... her father is DENNIS ECKERSLEY! SHE HAS ACCESSS TO W.E TF KIND OF HELP SHE COULD EVER NEED! & Her parents have done everything in their power to get her the help and treatment she needs but unfortunately she's not a child anymore and her parents still want her to come back home and get help but she doesn't want to live under their $20 million dollar estate!! She enjoys her lifestyle and wants everyone to know that "homelessness can happen to anyone" and homelessness shouldn't be frowned upon! She thinks it should be embraced & wants to begin a "HOMELESS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS EVENT" & in her word's, "Have it be like the telethon, or a carnival where you pay to get in, or a movie night and the money goes to a housing shelter."

She says that the homeless can do "LANDSCAPING AT A SPECIAL FACILITY JUST FOR THEM, MAYBE PAINT WALLS & NOT PAY RENT" 🙄👌

Her family is actually heartbroken btw!-

Her parents wanted to deliver her a message & let her know that they love her. Allie then responded saying "I know they do". & MAYBE she'll think about giving her father DENNIS ECKERSLEY (Hall of Fame pitcher who earned more than $27 million in his baseball career during the years 1975-1998) a phone call. But he's too obsessed with not wanting her to be homeless and on the streets so she probably won't call. She says she couldn't imagine her father trying to survive on the streets 😒.

She's an ungrateful disgusting pos and I can pretty much guarantee you she'll end up locked up if not this week then probably next week.

Give me a break. Are you really turning this into a pro-lifer rant? This woman is a fucking drug addict. What kind of nut case defends this type of crap? She left an infant for dead in the middle of the woods.

She could have gone to the hospital and received care. They have to help her.

Like you said, she is a drug addict and addicts don’t always make reasonable or sane choices which is part of why they need help.

She can get help. There’s multiple resources in Manchester where she could get the help she needs, even an abortion. But she has to actually do something. Nobody can force her to do any of this.

A lot of these homeless addicts don’t want any of this assistance and they don’t want help. She doesn’t get a free pass because she’s an addict.

It’s insane that you have more sympathy for a homeless addict then an infant left for dead. Y’all are sick lol
