That is horrific.

Yes therein lies the bigger problem! And frankly women should control their bodies to not be in that position. Opt out of having sex with men, or get fixed.

Are you implying that if an elementary school aged child gets pregnant, it’s her fault for not controlling her body? Because if not, that’s some sloppy posting.

No! That's why I wrote "women".

I would say the parents are accountable obviously.

Are you insane?! A pregnant 9 year old very likely got that way because of a close family member...far too often her own father.

Exactly what difference would it make to hold her parents accountable? Her father was the one who scheduled her abortion?

You’ve inadvertently hit the nail on the head: the cruelty toward women and girls is the point, the punishment is the point. It’s the same reason that rape still isn’t treated seriously. These freakish forced birthers want women to experience the full weight of “Eve’s curse.” Even when the “women” in question are children.

Anonymous wrote: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.

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.

This is all good with you?
