A pregnant Texas teen took matters into her own hands when her parents were trying to force her to abort her baby; she sued them.

Now the 16-year-old, identified in court records as R.E.K., has won the right to have her baby after she reached an agreement with her parents. She will be allowed to have the child and her parents will not threaten her with physical force.
Under the terms of the agreement, the parents will allow the girl to marry her 16-year-old boyfriend Evan Madison, who told MyFoxHouston.com he is glad the legal matter has been settled.
“Emotionally and stressful it’s been tough,” Madison said. “We’ve had fights and arguments over all of this and what will happen next because her parents are very unpredictable.”
The teenager’s parents have also agreed to return the teen’s car, pay her cell phone bill and half of her health insurance.

The Texas Center for Defense of Life, who represented the girl, say they see the agreement as a victory in the fight against abortion.
“Right now it’s a victory for life,” attorney Stephen Carey told MyFoxHouston.com. “And we’re glad that they stood up for the right to life and that they recognized, our client recognized that her child had the right to live and she wanted to protect that.”
The teen is now living with her mother, but the baby’s father, Madison, says afer they get married they will live together and begin their lives as a new family.
While this was a much more sensitive issue, we wonder if this is giving teens all over the world the idea to sue their parents any time they get upset with them. Clean my room? I’m suing you.
