Interestingly, when I saw this news I thought it was a conclusion of the story from the page 163, but no. When I checked the page 163 I was reminded that that one was about a 10 year old raped girl in catholic theocracy of Brazil, but this one is about another girl in Argentina who is 12
Quote:Rape victim, 12, gives birth to twins in Argentina after she was denied an abortion
Devoutly Catholic Latin America is home to several countries considered to have the world's toughest restriction on abortion.
The name of the 12-year-old girl is unknown, as is her attacker's identity, but outraged medical professionals have decried the authorities' decision to deny her a legal abortion.
The Jujuy branch of Health Professionals for the Right to Decide released a damning statement on the handling of the case:
'Despite the fact that the National Directorate of Sexual Health made an offer to immediately resolve the situation, preserving the physical and emotional health of the girl, the authorities in charge of the local Health portfolio, rejected the proposal and they decided not to guarantee this girl her right to ILE (legal interruption of pregnancy),' the statement read.
It was posted to social media along with a comment accusing the State of 'sinisterly perpetuating' inequalities faced by abused girls when it should be protecting them.
The girl reportedly underwent a caesarean section operation at the Hector Quintana Maternal and Child hospital last Sunday.
Health Professionals for the Right to Decide, accused authorities of deliberately delaying acting on the girl's situation until she was far enough into her pregnancy for the twins to survive outside of her womb.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
