All 3 of my pregnancies were deemed 'high risk.' The last 26 years ago. All three are fine, married, and university graduates. Two are 'gifted' IQ wise, let's not get into commonsense.
I've seen nothing that would lead me to believe this girl, and she is only a girl, is in a life-threatening position. If someone can show that she's less than 80 pounds, I'd reconsider my position.
While personally I think that rape is one of the few reasons to terminate, it should be very early in pregnancy. Yes, 'health of the mother' too is a reason, but not a blanket reason. As indicated, if she's too developmentally small to sustain a pregnancy, I'd go with that. Truth is that girls are reaching puberty in 3rd and 4th grades now, at least in US.
i think your attitude would be different were you 11 y.o. and the victim of a rape.
It's rape because she's 11. Otherwise, it's a consensual sexual relationship with her 17 year old boyfriend. He's under 18. Just a child himself. It's not rape according to those who think that rape shouldn't be rape if both are under aged boyfriend and girlfriend.

Agree! And, have you seen SOME 11-12 yr olds??? I think it was America's Got Talent (love that show!)...there was a girl and her brother that sang, she said she was 12 yrs old and my jaw dropped! She looked and was built like at least a 17 or 18 yr old!
Tim Tebow's mother was advised to get an abortion. Justin Beiber's mother was pressured into having an abortion. Both women resisted. Elaine Tebow resisted out of religious conviction. Pattie Mallette read a book about Mozart and learned that his mother was pressured into having an abortion in her day and chose to be a single mother. Mallette decided that had Mozart been aborted, the world would not be better off.
Both women resisted. Key factor there. They were women.
If the 11-year-old little girl resists an abortion on her own, then that matters.
If the 11-year-old girl is forced to carry the pregnancy to term despite the advice of her doctors, that is a travesty.
and had the mother's of Attila The Hun, Adolph Hitler, and Joseph Stalin had an abortion the world would have been a lot better off.Tim Tebow's mother was advised to get an abortion.

It is worthy to point out at this juncture that some on the left here are no longer arguing for free choice. It apparently, to the poster above at least, is NOT the womans decision. Rather, the abortion should be mandatory.I'm not saying this child should have an abortion, or shouldn't. Merely pointing out the very clear confusion of the left in thinking that abortion is not an answer, it is the ONLY answer.
For an 11 year old girl, it should be.
Yes, it is horrific to force a woman to have an abortion, and horrific to force her to carry to term but this is a child, and what is in the child's best interests here?
Do they even sell plan B in Chile?
Why are you obsessed with trying to make this little girl seem like an adult Katz?
An 11 year old is always a child, however every situation is different. Typically a child this young would never be allowed to make medical decisions, but in the US she can decide to risk her life and have this child, and in some states she can decide to abort.
This story has caused a huge backlash in Chile, and many want to amend the laws to allow women to have life saving abortions when needed. You're right, ultimately its up to the people of Chile to decide to get rid of such a terrible ban, but that doesn't stop the rest of us from commenting on how awful the law there is.
Oh stop it
You're argument is completely ridiculous and has no basis in the OP at all. Stop trying to make this little girl into something she's not. This isn't about someone who choose to have sex or someone who purchased birth control. I don't care how "old" you think she may look.
You are tossing up nonsense statements in an attempt to avoid the argument. Women in Chile don't get a choice. This little girl doesn't have a choice. She didn't choose to be raped, she didn't choose to have a disgusting mother, and she doesn't get to choose what happens with her pregnancy at this point.
In Chile, women are not allowed to have an abortion to save their life.

Do you know for a fact that this wasn't consensual sex and therefore the rape was merely stautory?

The mad confessed to raping her repeatedly over a 2 year period, starting when she was 9.
And I really wish i could neg you for such a disgusting question.
