Here's a pretty amazing and distressing story from Brazil. A nine year old girl, after years of illicit sexual activity with her stepfather, is pregnant with twins. The stepfather allegedly enticed her to have sex with him for money. She has a handicapped sister who was also abused in this way.
Because of her young age and lack of physical development, she will not be able to sustain the pregnancy. She will be kept in hospital and watched until her life is endangered, at which time, an abortion will be legal under Brazilian law.
Sounds pretty humane to me.
I wonder if her parents stressed the importance of chastity and abstinence with her and went over that whole "good touch, bad touch" thing.
