Her own doctors have said that the pregnancy is high risk.
My then 40 year old wife's pregnancy was designated "high risk". The physician attending the initial ultrasound quite emphatically pointed out Downs Syndrome indicators. He advised us to discuss our "options".
"High risk" pregnancies these days are most certainly survivable.
BTW, Ms. N., just who is "at risk" here?
It appears that any compassion you may have for children begins at the vaginal ejection. And nothing prior.
This isn't a discussion about trading a life for a life, it's a discussion about the Liberal ideology as it pertains to decisive rights. And I'm not shy in advocating decisive rights for those not yet able to exert those rights.
i am pro-life but this is the case of an 11 y.o. who has been raped and whose doctors say her life is in danger.
I once knew someone who had gotten pregnant at 11 and had a child at 12. She was the victim of rape/molestation by a relative, uncle. I knew this woman as an adult. She was really messed up in the head because of this experience. It is very wrong to force a child of that age to go through with a pregnancy; when all of that happened to her, abortion was illegal in the States; as well, I think she came from a very much lower class background and didn't know she was pregnant until well along, and no one knew how to deal with it at that time. All in all, as the authorities know about this pregnancy of the girl in Chile, they should end it as the child is in danger physically, mentally and emotionally. Also, the baby is likely to have problems. That woman's child ended up with mental and physical disabilities. It was just a tragedy for everyone.
