re: #51 Lidane

To put it in more stark terms, they agree with the Catholic Church that the pregnant 9-year old in Brazil who had been repeatedly raped by her stepfather should have carried the twins she was pregnant with to term instead of having a medically necessary abortion.

Never mind that the pregnancy and any potential labor would literally have killed such a young girl since her body could never have handled the strain. The unborn babies comes first no matter the circumstances or the cost, don’tcha know.

That’s what these 112 GOP assholes are agreeing with. It’s vile and cruel, and should be objected to in the strongest possible terms.

Except that the unborn babies don’t come first either. They had no chance. If you want to point fingers at who killed them, it’s their father and grandfather, not the doctor who performed the abortion. They would not have survived. Their mother—oh God, using a word like that for a nine-year-old—had a chance.

Denying that abortion was not a matter of choosing life, it was a matter of choosing death for three, instead of one.

God bless those who chose to ignore the ruling.
