The salient points:
1.) Two poor immigrant kids and their mother scrape together the funds to hire moo lawyer. She takes the case knowing full well that their hearing was scheduled during her moo leave.
2.) When the time comes, she files a continuance, which is pretty much a postponement (keep in mind, poor immigrants who don't have the money for things to drag on), because she's on moo leave.
3.) Judge denies continuance, citing that moo leave is not a good enough excuse.
4.) Moo plays martyr and brings a less than 6-week old infant to court and judge slams her for her unprofessionalism.
5.) Moo whines that both her and her husband's families live out of state, they just moved to Georgia months ago, her husband is a truck driver in Iowa, and daycares don't take babies under 6 weeks, so what was she supposed to do?
6.) People cry sexism and the moo card.
Most of the comments are predictably on the Moo's side, but a fair few talk some sense. Nobody points out that this woman had a 40-week gestational period to make contingency plans: pass it onto another lawyer or go through the vetting process of finding a trustworthy babysitter or nanny (something she's going to need
anyway given that her husband will be gone so much due to his job). None of this would have happened if she just fucking
planned. I'm so bloody freaking tired of moos whinging about people supposedly being unfair because for some unfathomable reason, nobody expects breeders to plan children.
Not to mention, it's really kind of shitty to take on a case you knew you were going to postpone for a couple of immigrant kids that had to take a long time to find the money to hire you in the first place. And the only planning you've done was to plan to drag it out because you've sluiced?

"Society does not need more children; but it does need more loved children. Quite literally, we cannot afford unloved children - but we pay heavily for them every day. There should not be the slightest communal concern when a woman elects to destroy the life of her thousandth-of-an-ounce embryo. But all society should rise up in alarm when it hears that a baby that is not wanted is about to be born."
