Catholic church condones child rape and is against the abortion that will save her life

[Ben Kenobi]

I concur, and propose a campaign of wanton thread****tery.

Thank God for this. Well done, Elok.

Hey, it's a really terrible dance fad from fifteen years ago!

Did anyone even pretend to be surprised when Freddy Mercury came out of the closet?

Here is a foreign person playing with some sort of foreign-person device.



Who can name the JRPG where for some daft reason one character used this thing as a weapon?

[DaShi]

Thank God for this. Well done, Elok.

Indeed, you christian buddies need to stick together.

Poor child...

That is about all one can say, isn't it ?

[Dr Strangelove]

And it's not really safe for her to have an abortion either. What happens if he perforates her uterus? She could have delivered by c-section. The abortion doctor doesn't even state how far along she was in the pregnancy.

The article says she was 4 months along, that's about 16 weeks. The fetuses would not have been viable. We don't know what the pain was coming from, possibly because her uterus was too small to support them and she was losing them anyway.
Regarding the article from Grupo Curumim you quote I'm sure the vast majority of the girls in the study were 13 and 14, it's really quote rare for a child as young as 9, 10 or 11 to be fertile. A girl that age is quite different from a 13 or 14 year old in size and development, enough so that it is ridiculous to combine the two age groups together. If you want appropriate data you're going to have to find someone who studied survival rates in the younger age range separately.

I am not in favor of abortion (post 6 months/etc) if the life of the mother is not in danger even in rape/incest cases.

I am perfectly comfortable/supported with the decision for abortion in this case.

I would expect the mother to be in danger. (She is 9!!!!!!!)

Also, this case occurred back in 2009. Why are you reporting on it now? From the abortion doctor himself:

Because it was a trending story and I didn't realise it was old. The date is irrelevant anyway, unless you're saying there's some kind of statute of limitations on when it's OK to condone paedophilia and the sentencing of a girl to almost certain death (and therefore punished again!) for being the victim of a heinous crime (oh wait, it wasn't a crime in the eyes of the Catholic church because the rapist wasn't excommunicated!) that she was entirely innocent of!

Thank God for this. Well done, Elok.

Obviously it wasn't God, it was Elok...

So preachers should just shut up about abortion, is what you are saying? Keep their mouth shut, eh?

So (since the mother was excommunicated), in the view of the catholic church, it is a crime worthy of excommunication,
if you agree to an abortion onm behalf of your daughter, in the sincere belief, that this might safe her life (because of medical problems that might occur later in her pregnancy).
It isn´t a crime worthy of excommunication, however, if you repeatedly rape your own daughter (since she turned six) over the course of several years (as well as her older handicapped sister).

Interesting moral views the catholic church has (or, at least, high ranking officials of the church)

[Asher]

Rape is part of the daily life for Church officials. Ain't no thang to them.

A new high for BK...

[kentonio]

Well, gee - many women who have been raped report that yes - bringing the child to term, and raising the child was fulfilling for them.

Yes, raising 2 children would definitely be more fulfilling for a 9 year old than say.. playing with barbies, going to school, having a childhood etc.
