[quote=Anonymous]Only someone with a cold, dead heart would put a fetus above the life of a 9 year old child, and think it's better to force a child to carry a pregnancy to term than to terminate.  And yet here we are today. This kind of extremist, barbaric thinking is spreading throughout the anti-abortion movement.

I'm sure there are some anti-abortionists who will claim they are more moderate and would not want children to be forced to go through labor and delivery. But I am skeptical they will ever fight against this part of their movement as long as it means they get to rob adult women of their bodily autonomy.

[quote]Dr. Ingrid Skop, an obstetrician in San Antonio who belongs to the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said that even a girl as young as 9 or 10, impregnated by a father or a brother, could carry a baby to term without health risks.

“If she is developed enough to be menstruating and become pregnant, and reached sexual maturity, she can safely give birth to a baby,” Dr. Skop said.[/quote]
