Rape Abortion

The head of the Catholic church's Congregation for Bishops has defended the Brazilian clergy's decision of excommunicating the mother and doctors of a nine year old girl who had an abortion to remove the twins she had conceived after being raped. The girl has been repeatedly abused in a sexual manner by her step father since the age of six.


Is it wrong for a rape victim, of any age, to have an abortion? I can see where the church is coming from as they don't condone the so called murder of innocent life but when someone is raped and then falls pregnant don't you think they have a right to decide if that unborn child is to be carried? I think the church has made a rather harsh move against the mother and doctors. This girl was 9 years old, she has suffered enough from a young age. I don't think she needs any more issues in her life.

I think someone can have an abortion regardless of the reasons. It's their choice.

And how does a 9 year old get pregnant? She already started her periods that young?

I was surprised when I saw the age but I guess some kids do start puberty really young. Perhaps the sexual trauma brought it on early. I'm not sure. The youngest that I've ever heard of prior to this was 12 years old.

females who are more stressed--and that kind of sexual truama would be stressful--go through puberty earlier than less stressed females.

For the Catholic church it doesn't matter. They are hypocrites though as many priests are raping kids, boys though, can't get that pregnant!

I'm not positive if i think abortion should be available to anybody in any situation (then again, I'm not sure it shouldn't)... but I do think it should be an option for rape victims, cases of incest, and perhaps when they can tell the child will have serious mental and physical handicaps.

I think it should be mandatory to have an abortion if the child is detected to have serious mental or physical handicaps before birth. I know it sounds horrible but what quality of life do they really have once they're born?

Don't retarded people seem like the happiest people? They're kids forever. They have it better off than smart people.

Pretty heartless to kill a retard. Damn aussies.

Retarded children who are that handicapped that they are confined to a wheel chair due to the deformed state of their body who require 24/7 care is what I mean.

You say that now but if they were of your own you'd feel differently.

If they were my child I'd want it dead. Preferably by abortion so it doesn't have a chance to really live. Their quality of life is minimal and having to constantly care for them diminishes your own quality of life.

Father of the year right there.

Its cruel yes but thats just my view. I'm sure most people would love their child no matter what but I don't believe is bringing severally retarded children up in todays world.

Plus there is a chance it could be born without defects and you would have killed a perfectly normal kid.

Mental retardation and physical handicaps are two completely different things.

If some of the pre births detected defects etc I wouldn't want it to be born.

Physical handicaps don't bother me so much. The mental ones are not what I would want my child to have.

I support abortion in all cases. No matter what, no one should be forced to be a mother.

anti abortion people make me laugh

Even if it's a dumb slut too dumb to use a condom so she has abortions every month?

Yeah. Would you want her raising a kid?

Yes. Then maybe I can fuck her slutty daughters.

Whaaat? [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thats pretty damn crazy. Although it doesn't shock me. Its only a matter of time before graphically sexual games are released commercially but a rape simulator is going a bit far.

I'd play it.
