She's already had to endure some nightmarish stuff, damn.

No matter what your belief on abortion, why is there is a difference in the sanctity of life depending on whether it was convieved by incest, rape, or willfull intercourse? Isn't the result the same?

How incredibly sad--for everyone including the unborn.

They offered to raise the child.

The baby did nothing wrong and is going to likely be killed for it.

I pray it could be a different choice for the girl.

What no concern about the girl's health and well-being just concern for a fetus? She is a CHILD. Pregnancy at that age is dangerous and scary. An 11 year-old's body is not prepared for giving birth.

good call

she's already suffered enough emotional trauma. why put her through the physical trauma of childbirth as well?

she's 11. she needs to be talking on the phone and riding bikes. not having a 7 lb watermelon tear her uterus in half so the fundies can sleep better at night.

And so AKA--what do you think the effects of an abortion are going to do to her body?

This won't be your quick DNC vacuum job.

They will likely inject her belly with saline solution and she will have to go through labor pains and then pass the dead baby through the birth canal.

And her health is of concern--the whole situation is sad for everyone.

I don't approve of abortion as a rule and it has nothing to do with considering a fetus to be human it's just my personal opinion. That said this is one of those 1 in a 100 cases I don't have a problem with.

How big do you think it is, Murphy? What do you know about childbirth, abortion, pregnancy? I'm guessing only what you've been spoon fed by your church. When YOU go through it, get back to me, ok?

The baby did nothing wrong and is going to likely be killed for it.

Yes. Very sad case. Points to be made on both sides. However, I must agree with Murph. The girl does not deserve this, but neither does the baby. Sometimes we must play the cards we are dealt. Two wrongs do not make a right however. Killing the baby would not change the fact that the girl was raped. If it would be a painful reminder of the incident, then adoption not abortion would be an option.

Pretty much THIS.

Why punish this girl and reward her rapist?

Be Well.

"Sometimes we must play the cards we are dealt. "

Holy crap! Are you saying this to an eleven year old child? Give her the abortion and kill the damned guy who did this to her.

"Give her the abortion and kill the damned guy who did this to her."

They tried that in Louisiana and ruled it cruel and unusual punishment for the rapist.

As expected, Willie El Cid and Murphy weigh in on the side of the fetus rather than on the side of an already living child. I THINK the Scotch person wants to set him(?)self up as the judge of which one case in 100 he (?) would approve. That anyone else would even countenance punishing a raped 11-year-old with forced motherhood is simply beyond all belief. herm

Also as expected, HERMIE wants to kill an innocent human being - Well if it's not aborted HERMIE maybe the US govnt. can infect it with AIDS er enslave it for 200yrs.

Again, wrong+wrong =/ right.

I don't think there is anything "sacred" about a pregnancy resulting from rape or child molestation! That is asinine!

SO yes we abort the rape baby, but what about the rapist? Can we abort him?

she should be wearing her uncles nuts as a necklace.

If there was a yuck flag, you'd have it.

I'm all for her getting an abortion but I'll still get called a Bushite.

Why do I find Willie El Cid, the Ozhole, the A-hole, the sniperhole and the bogus paratrooper such personal embarrassments? Because we allegedly belong to the same species. But their contempt for their fellow humans borders on cannibalism. herm

This is a tragedy. Of course anyone with any compassion agrees the girl should be allowed an abortion. Only uncaring, selfish ideologues could think otherwise. And frankly, their opinions don't matter to the rest of us anyway.

Herm the germ is a psycho who can't read. He is so full of hate for anybody who has a heart it is just repuslive.

I didn't see anybody post they wanted to FORCE THIS CHILD TO HAVE THIS BABY AGAINST HER WILL!!!!!

Murphy simply pointed out the negative consequences of the abortion (which nobody bothered to counter) and said he would pray for her choice.

But that doesn't stop the asswipes on this blog who are fucking obsessed with abortion rights to attack him anyway.

That is because they hate anybody who thinks abortion is morally wrong......which is just an opinion.....it doesn't mean that they believe in changing the law nor force anybody to give birth if they don't want to.

Because we allegedly belong to the same species.

That is your opinion hermgerm. At least you realize you aren't even a human being.

Where are you PC supporters of Islam? Why are you denouncing a practice supported by actions of the Prophet, and Islamic scholars?

After all, Muhammed married Alisha when he was a middle-aged man and she was six years of age. Muhammed delayed deflorating his bride until she was a mature nine years of age as she suffered from a skin affliction. Muhammed was the perfect man, who lived the perfect life, and is an example to all. Alisha was a faithful wife, and did not suffer emotional harm because of her introduction to sexual activity at an early age.

Have these eternal truths been changed, so that an 11 year old would suffer, when a nine year old did not suffer, adverse affects? You infidels certainly have a novel view of life. You would kill the living child in deference to another child giving birth.

As the renowned Islamic scholar recently proclaimed, a girl can marry at age one in the tradition of the Prophet, and her defloration can occur at any time depending on local custom, and the maturation as viewed in that locale. Are you infidels denouncing the ways of Islam and the Prophet? Maybe a fatwah should be issued. Your attitudes that impregnating a nine year old is ipso facto "bad," are defamatory toward Islam and the Prophet. Insh'allah.

I just made the mistake of reading a post by Johnson. The ensuing brain freeze serves me right.

Johnson is a moron.

Wow. Eberly sure is a hater.

Ignoramous Flag!

Annabet--I am a woman and have two beautiful children and know all about being pregnant. All natural and no drugs or epidurals. Heck Dylan was 45 minutes away from being born on the I-5 freeway on the way to the hospital!

At 21 weeks the baby looks like a baby born at 9 months with the weight in at 500 grams plus.

Here is a photo--

To my above list, add Eberly. How anyone can even countenance not allowing an abortion in this case is simply beyond belief. I don't want to be part of Eberly's species either. herm

HERMIE, I cannot tell you how pleased I am that you find me such an embarresment. NOTHING could have pleased me more!

If anything borders on cannibalism, I would more liken the process of abortion rather than pregnancy to such an action. Although in your case, maybe cannibalism=200yrs of slavery=AIDS? Could be.
