What would you do?

The recent incident in Paraguay where a ten year old girl was r***d by her stepfather and forced to carry the baby to term has now impacted the political scene here in the Unit ed States. The young girl gave birth when she was eleven years old.

Mike Huckabee made a rather interesting comment at the Iowa state fair this weekend in which he said that he agreed with the government of Paraguay; that if the same circumstances occurred under his presidency (should he gain the nomination) he would force the young girl to carry the unborn to term with no exceptions or exclusions regardless of the health of the mother.

What would you do under those circumstances?
Force the sexually abused young lady to give birth to the
Make an exception in the event of incest - allow abortion.
Make an exception in the event of r**e - allow abortion
Make no exception even if the young mother was in danger.
Other, I will comment

I would allow her to have the abortion. I believe in freedom of choice but even if I didn't, I would in the case of r**e.

I can't even imagine how traumatic it would be to be r*ped, pregnant and give birth as a child. There is no question about what should be done.

I heard that Huckabee interview and couldn't believe anyone could be so heartless. I think all women should have the right to choose no matter the circumstances. It's a private medical decision between a woman and her doctor here in Canada and it should be the same all over the world.

Sounds like a good solution to me. Sadly from my days in dfcs it became apparent that the child victims of incest and sexual abuse are abused once by the perpetrators and then by a legal system. Toss in the social stigma they face. Triple r@@@. I know this sounds harsh but inhale a feeling you will understand.

There are some sickos in this big world of ours. I agree with Boogie the SOB should have been shot. The government was pretty stupid not to allow the child to have an abortion. Mike Huckabee has stones for brains is all I can say.

Wearing my Right To Life, conservative, Every- Life-Is-Sacred hat, I have to say she should have carried the kid to term.

It's not the foetus's fault, why should it be executed for the sin of the father?
