11-Year-Old Chilean Rape Victim’s Health Is In Danger Because She Can’t Get An Abortion

Jul 09, 2013 16:41

An 11-year-old Chilean girl who has become pregnant from rape is renewing a contentious debate over abortion in the conservative Catholic country, where the medical procedure is illegal under all circumstances. Doctors have warned that continuing the pregnancy will be dangerous for the 11-year-old’s health, as well as for the health of her fetus. ( Read more... )

Welcome to Pro-Life land, where ideology is far more important than people's lives.

This makes me so sick and angry because along with all of the human rights reasons why women should be able to have control over their own bodies...it just makes no fucking sense half the time. A fetus that is not viable is not going to live anyway; carrying it to term, and endangering a woman's life, makes no fucking sense. That's not pro-life, and any god who would mandate that is not worth serving IMO. Any god who would want an 11-year-old raped by her mother's boyfriend to give birth to a baby isn't worth serving. It just isn't fucking pro-life.

I'm with you. Here's what I posted in reply to someone else in this post:

Yeah. I started to say I wasn't sure which one was worse, the mother or the boyfriend/abuser. But on reflection, I have to say that,I think I have a lower opinion of the mother. If you're a mother, the first item in your job description is to PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM HARM. I say this as a mother myself. Anyone who wants to harm a hair on my daughter's head--hell, a single cell in her body--is going to have to go through me, and I guarantee you, they'll be sorry they tried.

This lousy excuse for a mother has not only failed to protect her daughter, she's actually taking abuser's side against her daughter. That's the maternal definition of pond scum, afaic.

Add the misogyny tag.

There are no words to describe the sheer, unadulterated rage I feel right now. If was physically capable of going over there and vomiting fire and poison all over these monsters I would.
