Fidelia, Benson and others in “Unfinished Business”

FFidelia

Do you want to see the awesome stroller I picked out?

Fidelia, this is a baby we're talking about, it's not an accessory, it's not a bracelet or a pair of earrings or a slammin' pair of jeans. This is a living breathing human being you're bringing onto this earth.

FFidelia

You think I don't know that?

If you did you'd be petrified about your future. Do you know the odds of a teen mom finishing high school? Forget college, or any other dream you might have. Life as you know it is over. There's no going to the mall or hanging out with your friends. I mean, you might see them, but it'll probably be in line waiting for food stamps, or all of you going to the doctor trying to get an appointment at the free clinic.

FFidelia

Daddy, make her be quiet.

That's enough, detective.

Do you know the health risks to babies of teen moms? Dyslexia, retardation, um, increased risks of blindness, cerebral palsy.

FFidelia

Daddy!

Don't you blame my daughter. She's just a child.

That is my point exactly.
