WTF - Brazilian Girl, 9, Has Abortion Despite Church's Objections
Not film related, but shit like this pisses the hell out of me!
Yes, I know abortion is illegal in Brazil - the country with the most Roman Catholics in the world; but, thankfully, judges are allowed to make exceptions if the mother's life is in danger, or the fetus has no chance of survival.
I say "thankfully" because, in this case, the mother/victim is a 9-year-old girl carrying twins!! Her stepfather is suspected of raping her, and has been jailed.
The poor girl underwent an abortion yesterday, despite complaints from Brazil's Roman Catholic Church.
The pregnancy, which was in its 15th week, posed a serious risk to the girl, who weighs 80 pounds. But the Archdiocese in northeastern Brazil, said the girl should have carried the twins to term and had a Caesarean section.
"It's the law of God: Do not kill," the attorney representing the diocese said!
So, this nitwit would rather have a 9-year old girl, who's already suffered more than enough, after being raped by her stepfather, live with the pregnancy (twins!!) through the entire term, and then, if that weren't challenging enough, have to be scarred yet again, and undergo a complex, risky surgical procedure in a Caesarean section?
This is a child!
URGH!
Somehow I'm not so sure the God he believes in would concur.
