9 Year Old Rape Victim Terminates Twins.
March 5th 2009 09:02
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.
