elderly rapist's baby

Full details of the horrific ordeal to which an 11-year-old girl impregnated by an elderly rapist in Argentina was subjected by doctors intent on ensuring the baby survived for religious reasons have been disclosed by campaigners acting on her behalf.

The young girl, who is being called “Lucia” to protect her identity, became pregnant after being raped by her grandmother’s 65-year-old partner, who has since been arrested. She was placed under her grandmother’s care in 2015, after her two older sisters were reportedly abused by her mother’s partner.

Lucia was forced to give birth after authorities in Argentina refused to let her have the abortion to which she was legally entitled – triggering a wave of outrage around the world and reigniting a fierce debate on the country’s restrictive abortion rules.

After being admitted to hospital after two attempts to kill herself, Lucia underwent a Caesarean section at the end of February after 23 weeks of pregnancy. The baby died on International Women’s Day on Friday. Lucia was discharged from hospital yesterday.

1. Oh that poor child

2. It would be hard to claim that this was a pro-life issue when they clearly didn't

value the life of the child who was forced to continue a pregnancy caused by rape.

My heart goes out to this little girl and what she was forced to endure. May karma deal with any and all who were responsible for her ordeal.

3. Makes me wonder if it's some Nazi pseudoscience to increase the birthrate

That is where they went and the Argentine government really has it on to get girls who shouldn't even be in puberty yet to give birth.

4. A child forced to have a C-section.

How barbaric. Hope that little child recovers.
