Depends on the 11-year old whether a pregnancy would be a danger. For most it would be, but the doctors were of the opinion it wasn't in this case. At some point you have to trust experts, or does that only apply to global warming? The pregnancy was well past the point where I think abortion on demand must be an option and close to the point where I think it should not be an option, so despite that not being in Paraguayan law, it didn't have much of an effect.
This is a hard case, but it looks like other than they should have caught on to what was happening sooner, I can't say that I fault the Paraguayan authorities here. The fetus was close to viability, the female was not at immediate risk, and I don't believe rape or incest should make abortions easier to obtain. The sole valid justification for restricting abortion is to protect what is considered to be a human life and no matter how vile the biological father is, that vileness has no bearing on whether it is a human life.
So astoundingly disconnected.
‘Depends of the 11 year old’ Depends on her what Ernest? Her pelvis, her vagina? I mean is that what’s important here when it comes to identify what qualifies as a danger to
women; their physicality. Is it that base? You’re not stupid, so are you that ‘wicked’ to think that a woman’s mental health doesn’t matter? Are you 6 years old? I mean I ask that really; are you 6? Do you think a ‘seed get’s planted in mommy’s tummy’. Do you know what a pregnancy does to a woman? Obviously you’ll be thinking about the physical, but do you know what it does to a women psychologically? Even when it’s her partners and she wants it. Now imagine you’re 11. 11 years old and you’re raped, actually no, in this case she was 10. 10/11; doesn’t matter. It’s all about how roomy her gooch is I get it. You’re raped which is all sex can be at that age, not by a stranger but by someone you know. A relation. Who doesn’t even have the decency to wear any form of protection because, maybe he’s being a good Catholic. Maybe he think’s (because there’s good theological ground to interpret it this way) that it’s more of a crime than actually raping her.
But no, doesn’t matter. ‘Depends on the 11 year old’ No it doesn’t Not in a million years does it ‘depend’ on and 11 year old. NO ELEVEN YEAR OLD IS ‘READY’ TO DEAL WITH BEING RAPED AND FORCED TO GIVE BIRTH. NONE. PERIOD. GOT IT? GOOD.
Right, ‘the doctors didn’t think it was a danger’. Physically or mentally? Obviously only one is important enough to you, so let’s look at that one. Do you think doctors in a country with legal force against abortion, social stigma, stigma amongst some in the medical practice, do you think with their jobs at risk, or subtle threats to their professional status for ‘facilitating abortion’ (Go look it up. Take five minutes. On me), how often do you think they’re going to say ‘she can’t have the child’? Because I think the answer is going to be pretty f-cking low. Don’t you think? Even if you don’t take the position I do in that no 11 year old child rape victim is in
anyway ‘ready’ to carry a child.
No one gives a damn about
human life. Not really. If they did they’d have dealt with this from the get go. No. She was a football. A willing little modern day ‘Maria’ dragged out to full term so that they could simply say ‘no’ and show the braying crowd that they were hardliners on ‘protecting life’ while f-cking with hers.
