Vatican defends abortion expulsions (Response)

I think that this is the most disturbing post I've done yet. I don't understand why the church would be so upset about this little 9 year old having the abortions. A 9 year old carrying two baby's in her stomach would not be healthy. The baby's would not have a very good chance at being healthy. I think it is so gross that her stepfather would do that and then think it was okay after she had two abortions. He deserves to be in jail at least, i don't think the church should be helping him at all. There is no excuse to rape your step daughter. This post is disgusting and i hope that someone can help put him in jail.

Vatican defends abortion expulsions (Notes)

Nine year old girl got an abortion in Brazil after she was raped by her stepfather.

The girl didnt just have one abortion, she had two because she was pregnant with twins when she was four months pregnant.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church's Congregation for Bishops, told the Italian daily La Stampa over the weekend that the unborn twins the girl was carrying had the right to live.

"It is a sad case but the real problem is that the twins conceived were two innocent persons, who had the right to live and could not be eliminated," he said.

Abortion is a crime under Brazilian laws except in cases of rape.

Doctors said they decided to terminate the pregnancy because the girl's life was in danger due to her young age, and because she was carrying twins

The stepfather was not excommunicated because the church said that his action, although deplorable, was not as bad as ending the life of an unborn child.
