Churches are so backwards. I just can't take it.

amen ... most churches do not take the decision to excommunicate or whatever people based on personal decisions like these ... I am pro-life but dammit man the child is weighing 80 lbs and 9 years old you have to think differently. Seriously if they had suggested praying for divine intervention instead of a hard and fast rule and then saying c-section who knows if her little body could manage to carry it to term.

If there is one thing I love about God is that he forgives sins... so even if it's a sin to do this particular abortion they can get forgiveness.

The Roman Catholic Church is against everything except their priests raping young boys...As for the step-father...castration should also be an option...

well said, they're all such hypocrites.....

this woman sums it up for me:


Catholic Church Excommunicates Mother and Doctors Over 9-Year-Old Rape Victim’s Abortion
Posted by: Cara in Abortion, International, Latin America, Misogyny, Pregnancy, Religion, Reproductive Rights, Sexual Assault

In Brazil, there is a horrific story of a 9-year-old girl who was raped and impregnated.
It’s believed that the rape was committed by her step-father. The girl was not only pregnant at that young age, but also pregnant with twins. And so, as makes perfect sense, she had an abortion. Because she was raped, because she was much to young to have a child, and because the stress of having twins would of course have been far too much for a 9-year-old’s body to handle. And she could have died.

Now, the Catholic Church has excommunicated both the girl’s mother and the doctors who performed the abortion, which likely saved the girl’s life.

Well then. At least they didn’t excommunicate the girl, right? Maybe they decided that she was much too young to have made the decision to have the abortion on her own, or to understand what was happening. But not too young, apparently, to be forced to give birth to the twins caused by her rapist. Not too young to quite possibly die in the process.

In defending the decision, the Church’s lawyer has said:

“It’s the law of God: Do not kill. We consider this murder,” Miranda said in comments reported by O Globo.

But rape, apparently, is a-okay. After all, I don’t see the step-father, who allegedly admitted to having raped the girl since the age of 6, being excommunicated. Killing a fetus is apparently worthy of such censure and shunning. Horrifically violating a small child, though? Well, we all make mistakes. And this stance is of course nothing new.

The lawyer also argued that the girl just should have carried to term and had a cesarean section. Because obviously a lawyer knows the girl’s condition better than her own doctor. And obviously the girl’s mental well-being doesn’t count for a damn thing.

Who knows what a cesarean section would have done for the girl, since the doctors didn’t present the issue of her giving vaginal birth as being the main health concern here. But oh well. God says. Clearly, if this child died in the course of fulfilling “God’s wishes,” it would have been a lesser tragedy than the cold-blooded murder of those innocent little fetuses. After all, in other extremist Catholic doctrine, a woman is better off dead than raped anyway.

RH Reality Check asks: Is this what religious objection to abortion looks like? Seeing as how the point of the entire anti-choice movement is indeed to erase any and all concern for the woman in question, in fact to erase her very existence if at all possible . . . clearly, yes. In an extreme nutshell, this is exactly what it looks like.

There HAS TO BE an age limit on abortion! 9 years old is too young to have an abortion, she should have let those twins get born prematurely and possibly ruin her ability to have children in the future, if that sounds harsh, she should have thought about that before getting raped.

You people who think she was wrong to abort a rapist’s children make me sick. In the bible it says the penalty for rape should be marrying the victim, if you’re going to stand by your religion as a moral compass, why don’t I hear that solution offered?</div></div>

so true

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The mother is to blame for this.. Most of the time in cases similar to this, the mother knew what is going on but refused to protect her young daughter. These mothers are so desperated to keep the man that they just turn the other way. They sometimes force their young daughters to have sex with their new boyfriend or husband. This girl will get rape again as long as she still live with her mother. There is no protection for this little girl. She is IT, unless she is taken away from her mom.</div></div>
