Buenos Aires, Sep. 18, 2006 (CNA) - Amidst the controversy over two mentally disabled women who were permitted to undergo abortions in Mendoza and La Plata, an Argentinean newspaper has published a story on Martin, a healthy boy who was saved from abortion four years ago and today lives happily with his adopted family.
The newspaper “La Capital” published the story about the baby and how his great-grandmother saved him. “Teresa is 64, works as a maid and lives on the south side of Rosario. Together with her husband she raised her granddaughter Marta since the time she was six months old, when she came down with meningitis and suffered serious neurological damage. Since then, Marta calls Teresa ‘Mommy,’ although she is really her grandmother,” the story indicates.
