Judge Sentences Girl To Abort Baby

[Ognir]

An Italian judge ordered a 13 year old girl from Torino to abort her unborn child because her parents were opposed to the baby.

Italian legislation states that a minor is not allowed to decide whether to abort or not and the 'decision' falls entirely on the guardians or parents.

The shocking story was brought into light by Italian newspaper La Stampa in which the paper reports that the girl didn't want to abort the baby but had to after the ruling. She then had to receive treatment after telling her parents she was going to attempt a suicide.

The girl got pregnant by her 15 year old boyfriend but despite this she still wanted to keep the baby.

However her parents were very angry and demanded an abortion. After the abortion the girl went into a frenzy and threatened she was going to kill herself.

"The unborn baby is still a life and I defend life whatever the situation." Severino Poletto, Archbishop of Torino told the paper.

"Society must take of this child. I certainly oppose abortions but this case allows us to reflect on the situation. We have to take a step back and ask ourselves how this could have happened to a 13 year old girl." he added.

I personally think that that is a WRONG decision, and immoral.

But aside your feelings about abortion and remember that this girl WANTED to have her child. Yes, its true that the parents of the girl would probably have to take care of it, but they should not be able to order the killing of it. The child should have been born, and either immediately put into an adoption agency or they should see if it can work with the child, and if it doesn't then put it in an adoption agency.

I hope the girl appeals the ruling.

Seems like it's a little too late.

What I wonder is how the 15 year old boy and his family feels about this. Isn't it his child too? How can the parents of this girl be the sole decider of this when it might effect them the least? What if the boy and his family would of raised the child?

Sick fucking world :barf:
