9 year old Brazilian girl pregnant with twins is forced to have an abortion

A 9 year old Brazilian girl, pregnant with twins is forced to have an abortion. According to the the news websites G1, pe360graus and the Diario de Pernambuco, the Brazilian girl, who was not identified because she is a minor, was found to be four months pregnant after being taken to hospital suffering stomach pains.

MediaTakeOut reports, according to News Australia:

"We don't know if she will develop the pregnancy up to the end because of the structure of her body. It is a big risk for her,'' the doctor who confirmed her pregnancy before she was taken to the institute, Jose Severiano Cavalcanti, told the Diario de Pernambuco.

"She doesn't have a pelvis able to support a gestation of twins,'' he said.

Abortion is illegal in Brazil except in cases of rape or if the woman's health is in danger.

police believe the girl’s 23-year-old stepfather was abusing her since she was aged six - paying her one Brazilian real (about 42 cents) each time he molested her.

He also allegedly abused the girl's physically handicapped 14-year-old sister. He was arrested on Thursday as he attempted to flee to another region in Brazil, and was being kept in protective custody.

    trust me he will be screwed, in brasil you can kill your whole family and in prison nobody will flintch at you, but you rape a underaged girl and you will either be killed inside or used as the prisons protitute the diference is you get no money for it and you get to know exactly how you made the poor girl fell the guards them selfs pass the message to the cell mates about the reason he is in there and things will get sour very very quickly for him, same happens in portugal where i originaly come from but had a few brasilian friends who filled me in about the details how things work over there

    Did she, or her parents or guardian, ask for a second opinion? Maybe they could have been delivered by C-section. Maybe they could have waited a bit to determine if she was really stresses that much. It's a shame to kill two little babies-to-be.

    You are insane, my daughter is nearly 9 and, god forbid, if she was molested i would not hesitate to procure her an abortion. Where do people draw the line? Oh its bad that that grown man raped that little girl, but oh well shes pregnant lets let her carry the feotus and give birth. She will have no childhood and her life will be ruined, forever but as long as we keep the bleeding hearts happy, who cares about her. Never mind that she is intelectully incapable of raising a child. I bet this poor CHILD doesn't even know her times tables, yet you are saying she should birth and raise 2 children. A feotus isnt even considered a baby in the eyes of the law before 22 weeks. We should be protecting OUR children, not the monsters that commit these sickening crimes.

    You must be a male! Being pregnant with one child can be uncomfortable enough but being pregnant with twins, especially at 9 years old is torture! It is just cruel to put that poor child, especially at her age, through that pain of a c-section! It is very sad to lose 2 babies, I don't agree with abortion, but in this case it is cruel not to have an abortion!

    She is nine years old. How the hell is a nine year old able to support and look after TWINS!?
    Not only that she was molestered. Some people have different views and beliefs, but maybe she wouldnt want to keep the babies that were a result of a traumatic experience for the poor girl!
    It's sad, but an abortion would be the best thing for both her and the babies.

    I am outraged that you think it is ok for a 9 year old to carry these babies, don't you think the poor child has suffered enough?...THE CHILD WAS MOLESTED AND IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD or did you not read that part!! You are one sick human being for even thinking that it's ok to see if she stresses that much.

    You moron, a 9 year is also a baby in terms of sexual activity & pregnancy. Would you really force your own 9 yr old to go through with a pregnancy forced upon her by a sick bugger and potentially die in the process to save two little babies to be? Also a caesar is major surgery, can you imagine what that would do to a 9 year old, never mind her growing womb?

    You, dude, are a dipsh*t. She's NINE. Her structure couldn't support it and she herself is a child. Children can't raise babies. Think about the psychological and physical effects. Given for adoption or not, it'd be bad because she'd always know (unless the parents like about why her stomach is getting so big). It's ruin her childhood, and life even for a little while.

    She couldn't make an informed decision anyway, to the people who say, "Let the little girl decide!". She's nine.

    I agree that hoer options should have been checked out. An abortion might be more scarring than keeping those babies inside a little longer. I am 16 weeks pregnant and the baby is real, so what if the law says something about 22 weeks. That's bull! I heard my baby's heart beat and that poor girl to have gone through what she did and then to be forced to kill her babies!

That guy that everyone is s ignorant, yes but that does not give anyone the right to insult "his" or anyones "god" because we all have the same "god" whether some believe in god or not, no one should insult other people's beliefs due to their ignorance, Allah is one subject, and this guys ignorance is another's. Hopefully the girl and her 14 year old sister are okay and that rapist goes to jail and receives his well deserved punishment. Everyone take care of your children and have a blessed day. ---------- In Allah I trust, amen.

    According to a variety of sources, the first opinion was that the girl's life was not in danger and that it was possible to save all three lives. Another group transferred the girl to another hospital where a social worker (not a doctor) said the girl was going to die, limited the girls access to the tutelary council (Brazil's child protection), and forced the parents (the stepfather of course was not involved), to sign for the abortion.

    It wasn't just the Church. The girl's own parents were trying to stop the procedure, as they wanted neither their daughter nor their granddaughters to die.

    The right decision was made for the child. She is the one that has been violated and hurt. No need for it to continue and cause pain and torture for the rest of her life. She is living and breathing and made it through to this side so she has the right to a life. To have allowed the pregnancy to continue would be plain stupidity. Inbreading is all religions is forbidden (for reasons I might add)- why would anyone support hurting the child further by trying to continue the pregnancy. Those in favour have a real long hard look at your values - you may have fallen off the path. Would you really want the fetus born and then to follow the path of her poor abused mother - how could you want that for anyone. Pull your head out of the sand and grow a heart!

    Re-Thinker, even if a 9 year old COULD deliver twins by c-section, even if her body could survive the strain of supporting those lives, which is difficult even under the best of circumstances for an ADULT woman, the psychological damage would be to great to contemplate and doubly compounded by the initial molestation trauma. I can agree that an abortion should be an absolute last resort, but get realistic here. Likely all three would die in this case and that would be even worse. Is the 9 year old any less innocent than the fetuses she was carrying?

    Why don't you get realistic. You are talking about the dismemberment of two innocent children, and the Catholics are the bad guys? Why don't you just go to Hell where you came from and save your pity for the other demons like yourself.

    Mr anonymous, you state hypocrisy on views of this little girl. Obviously you dont' have children. And I can understand why not with your dumbarsed opinions. We all feel for these unborn innocent babies. But the key word is "unborn". This little innocent girl is born, she has been on this earth for 9 years and half of those at least being abused. She has already led a life that most of us will never have to endure and no child should have to.

    Rape is a horrible crime. It's takes your dignity along with your soul and their innocence. These innocent victims are never the same. There is no right or wrong here. It's heartbreaking. But in my opinion (and it is just MY opinion), there is no "right" answer if we ask who out of the unborn babies, the little 9yro and every other Rape victim deserves to live more? Really think about it..........

    If it were my daughter (yes I have one), I wouldn't need to think of what I need to do. My job as her mother is to protect her and not have her in pain. You have aleady failed to protect her, you are certainly not going see her suffer and at no point are you going to take a chance of her dying all because there is life inside her. Your fist priority is your little girl and how you will never allow harm to come to her again. You would not for a moment consider putting her through more suffering because these babies inside your BABY may have a chance to live. FK!! I guess only a parent can understand and any parent who thinks differently, please look at your children again, wouldn't you do anything to protect them??

    Now those of you who ask where the Mother was and how she could not know what was happening. We don't know the answer in this case, but stop being so quick to judge. You expect your children would be safe with your Husband. As for not knowing, well talk to most mothers of abuse victims. They had no idea at all. These bastard low lifes prey on fear, threat and intimidation. They are threatened in the case of telling anyone, or in this case, paying her as he did, she possibly thought it was just a chore, no different to if she was asked to massage his feet etc. She may not realise that it was wrong, being so young when it started she wouldn't know. Kids don't go telling everyone including their Mummy that they kissed or hugged their Daddy. They assume it's normal (which it is). This little sweetheart may be none the wiser, when this all started at the age of 6, how was she to know that it was wrong. She is a Child, he is a monster that deserves to suffer.

    No-one would expect a 9yro to raise 2 babies, I assume these people commenting on how this little precious girl should have to endure pregnancy and birth so they can enter this nasty cruel world, to only do what then? Adopt them out? Put that little darling through all that trauma and possibly die in the process as could the 2 babies and what good comes out of it. That precious 9yro has lost her innocence, her dignity, her soul, her babies and a decent life and without doubt physical and emotional damage.

    Anyone who looks at the option of terminating a pregnancy of a little 9yro girl as evil and robbing life of these unborns is not looking at all facts. You are dictating pro life to all, you are enforcing your views that it is immoral, sinful and evil to have an abortion even under these circumstances. She didnt' make the choice to have unprotected sex. That is where abortion is wrong (again in my opinion only). If you are too stupid/lazy/irresponsible than you live with your mistakes. This little girl and every other rape victim should not have to suffer anymore then what the bastards who abused them have already made them endure. They deserve to be able to make the choice to not have to be reminded of their nightmare. Does that baby deserve to be resented everytime Mummy cuddles them. Some manage it, others just can't cope and the suffering begins again. All in all, it is the life of a precious little girl, that is important, not the opinions of others beliefs, ethics, morals, religous views, etc. And during all this bullshit of who's morals/ethics are right or wrong, what about that sick bastard that made the choice to become her "father". Unfortunately there are way too many arseholes like this in the world, Daddy's, Uncles, Brothers, Grandfathers, Family Friends and strangers, don't forget also Mothers, Aunts Cousins, friends, Sisters etc. where does it end. Our kids need to be saved. Don't take up the room in jails for these mongrels. The only fair way to deal with them is let the victims and their families be alone with them. Let me next to any woman/man who harmed my children and I guarantee they would be punished and they would suffer as they made my babies suffer!!!!

    In the meantime, let this little precious girl be saved and have a chance to start leading a normal life and find happiness.........My heart goes out to you little precious one............I hope you find happiness and a chance to smile .........................

    ok so what is more important, life or quality of life. IF and i say IF the three where to live what kind of life would it be for the 9 year old pain, both body and mind, what if she blamed the twins. how would she look after them. how can she afford to feed them or cloth them. what about how she would be treated in her town. what would ppl say for the rest of her life. she has no life. and as for the twins what about them what about the chances or premies because she may not be able to carry them. what if they are born not fully developed tell me how a nine year old can cope with that. well to me its the smart thing to do. Normaly i am not pro abortion unless it for the quality of life because thats whats important. So before you run your mouth about how evil i am, think for a second about if you had a chance to chose life like that or no life at all. I would rather no life at all.

One I am catholic and don't agree with abortion, BUT I think that in cases like theses Allah, god of everyone not just CATHOLICS, wouldn't punish the 9 year old but the STEPfather. Seriously people need to lay of the crack, and stop blaming Catholics for everything. Yes Catholics don't agree with abortions- the religion doesn't accept it we know but neither do other religions that actually follow the sacred scriptures. Now please stop insulting others, I don't think you liked me calling you ignorant right?
