- I meant disgusting that a 9 year old could be assaulted, not that her mother/ doctor are being sent out. :-( -- nm - MDH May 23, 12:50
- and this. -- nm - znufrii May 23, 12:49
this makes me *furious*. their defence is "life must always be protected", i guess that only applies to fetuses, not to 9 year old rape victims. -- nm - Andie May 23, 12:39 4
- I'm honestly a little confused, I thought the church made an exception for life threatening situations. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 13:08 2
  - not anymore, they changed a couple of years back -- nm - - .-. ..- -- .- -. (tapping everything out) May 23, 13:35
  - No, I think they allow non-abortive surgeries or procedures to save her life; but never a direct abortion for the purpose of destroying the fetus. - mara May 23, 13:32
- almost as bad is the fact the step-father won't be excomminicated and will only see, at most, 15 years in prison -- nm - decline May 23, 12:46
