One step closer to Gilead. I suppose we should be grateful she hasn't been charged with "leading him on":

Reported quite differently on the BBC. The delivery by C-section was effectively a late abortion because the alternative was too risky for the pregnant child. Delays due to lack of clarity over parental consent as she was raped by her grandmothers partner (she lived with GM)
That poor poor girl. What a heartbreaking story.

Utterly sickening. The poor child reportedly attempted suicide over the delay.

This appears to have been a court-ordered abortion on the legal-in-Argentina grounds of danger to the mother's life. Why it was not done earlier given the age of the child is not clear.

The BBC say that the GM had parental responsibility which was revoked when it transpired the child was raped by her partner. Thus a certain limbo around who could consent?

Lucía, the youngest of three sisters, became pregnant after she was abused by her grandmother’s 65-year-old partner. She was placed under her grandmother’s care in 2015, after her two older sisters were reportedly abused by her mother’s partner.

Just...
Sad

This story is awful.

The girl was clear that she wanted an abortion.

Sounds like the delays were at least semi deliberate and then the instruction to the hosp was not t abort (save both lives) which they are then denying.

Fuckigng outrageous.

Female children are worth nothing.
