I read this in the paper today and was heartsick. I cannot believe that a lawyer from a church of any faith could have the right to argue in court over something like this. If abortion is illegal in a country - as it is in Brazil - it should be up to a doctor and a judge to decide. What kind of monsters would expect a tiny little child to risk death to carry to term even one baby let alone two? How on earth could anyone say the unborn babies had more rights than the poor little live baby (which she pretty much is) and put her life at risk. This is not a religious decision, it is a medical decision.


I hope the stepfather's genitalia rots off and I certainly hope he is jailed and subjected to the horrors that he has put this poor little girl through. I can't even imagine the physical damage that would have been caused to her by being penetrated by an adult male let alone her poor little body trying to grow these babies inside of her.

I think this poor little girl has been victim enough. I hope she can heal her ravaged body and what must be a very tormented psyche.

If you do not agree with the decision to put the 9 year old victim first in all of this then I say, "where is your compassion?".

A NINE-YEAR-OLD girl who was carrying twins, allegedly after being raped by her stepfather, underwent an abortion today despite complaints from Brazil's Roman Catholic church.

Police said the stepfather has been jailed since last week, the Associated Press (AP) reported.

Abortion is illegal in Brazil, but judges can make exceptions if the mother's life is in danger or the fetus has no chance of survival.

Fatima Maia, director of the public university hospital where the abortion was performed, said the 15-week-old pregnancy posed a serious risk to the 36-kilogram girl, AP reported.


"She is very small. Her uterus doesn't have the ability to hold one, let alone two children," Ms Maia told the Jornal do Brasil newspaper.

But Marcio Miranda, a lawyer for the Archdiocese of Olinda and Recife in northeastern Brazil, said the girl should have carried the twins to term and had a cesarean section, AP reported.

Fast food really is bad for you!

September 22nd 2008 10:11
It seems cholesterol isn't your only worry if you eat junk food.

A Melbourne man was stabbed three times following an argument over his position in the queue at a McDonald's fast food outlet last night.

The man had been in an argument with two men inside the Flinders Street store and after being served they followed him outside and attacked him.

The man was treated by paramedics before he was taken to The Alfred hospital with stab wounds to the shoulder and chest.

And not to be outdone, in Sydney, a man has been stabbed to death and another hit in the face with a hammer at a Newtown pizza restaurant.

Police were called to Lucky's Pizzeria on King Street just before 1am after reports a 61-year-old man had been stabbed in the stomach and a 59-year-old man had been hit in the head with a hammer.

Police arrived to find the 61-year-old dead in the restaurant kitchen at the rear of the building.

The 59-year-old man was also in the restaurant suffering facial injuries. He was arrested and taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital where he remains under police guard pending further investigation.

Think I'll stick with my tofu.

Rocket man

He calls himself Fusionman.

Swiss adventurer Yves Rossy, a 48-year-old former air force pilot, leapt into the skies 2500 metres above the small town of Bex in western Switzerland clad in his new carbon "wing". He performed various manoeuvres for five minutes before landing with a parachute.

The wing is 2.5 metres across and has four tiny jets, which are lit inside the plane just before he jumps.

Rossy can reach speeds of up to 300kmh, but he can only stay in the air for a maximum of ten minutes due to the small fuel capacity.

James Bond eat your heart out. Now where can I get one?!

Another pointless inquiry?

April 3rd 2008 11:41
According to the newspaper the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) is investigating grocery prices and competitiveness in the industry. The chairman, Graeme Samuel said that contradictory claims from the different parties was “fascinating”. Another word for bullshit?

The inquiry is to get to the bottom of why farmers are getting so little when everyone is forking out so much at the cash register. "We have parties who will privately tell us they are doing extremely well and making very good profit margins, and then in the public arena say that they are suffering," Mr Samuel has quoted. "There's either an inconvenient truth being told publicly or an inconvenient truth being told to us - or an untruth, as the case may be
