Pregnant Brazilian Girl

[NFrancis]

I was just talking with my brother about that 9 yr. old girl in Brazil that was pregnant with twins. So is there any moral way that her life could be saved any surgeries or anything? My brother thinks it is okay to directly abort the baby to save her life but, I don’t.

This forum is not a Catholic medical forum. Also, we don’t have that girl’s medical charts. How on earth could we answer your question?

I will say that some very young girls have brought pregnancies to term, on occasion, just as very frail terminally ill women in all sorts of conditions have. There are also various ways to deal with pregnancies which threaten the life of mother and baby.

If you are really interested in Extreme Obstetrics, you need to consult a good medical book.

there is never any reason that justifies a direct abortion.

was there some medical thing that could have been done to avoid it? well theres no way we can know, bu abortionis never ok.

From what I have read the only ones who claimed that her life was in danger were those pushing the abortion.
