If THAT'S not cruelty inflicted by a church (in this case, the Catholic church), I don't know what is. According to doctors, this kid faced extreme danger and a real possibility of dying, but the church (at least the Brazilian church) felt, in it's great caring for the sanctity of life - not the young and abused girl's, of course, only the unborn - felt it was OK to pretty much sentence her to death. Was the father exommunicated, too? This is simply senseless. So, God's law supercedes man's law, does it? I hope that idiot bishop or cardinal or whatever pios title they gave him rots in hell and has to bear the pains of childbirth for eternity. No, I don't think it'll happen because God would be too forgiving and loving. I am enraged. In this case, excommunication for those involved should be considered a reward.
Too appalling for words.
I have to say that abortion, taken by itself, is abhorrent to me. To end a life- any life- is something that can never be "taken back" or "fixed."
But looking at the particulars of the case- the age of the mother (NINE YEARS OLD), the repeated sexual abuse, and the fact that her body wasn't capable of carrying one baby to term, much less two, I do think that her mother and the doctors made the right (in all senses of that word) decision. My heart breaks for that little girl.
