A 10 year old girl from Paraguay was raped by he step father and is now pregnant. 32 year old mother is facing criminal chargers for not keeping her daughter safe. The big conflict with this situation is that people want her to get an abortion because they fear the 10 year olds life is at risk, but health administrators claim that terminating a pregnancy at 22 weeks is even more unsafe for the mother ( 10 year old girl) and they say that a cesarian section is the most safe procedure to carry out this event. The step father is facing major jail time.
This story seriously breaks my heart. Women are still disrespected and are treated as sex objects to men who view them as things, not people. No women should ever be in the situation of rape, and especially a 10 year old innocent girl. Imagine having a 7 year old child right now at age 17. This can relate to the court case, Wade vs Roe on abortion rights. The ruling claimed its the women choice before 2 months to terminate the pregnancy. I see the risk factors the child would have faced trying to terminate her pregnancy this late, but its still a shame that the girl is going to face serious emotional and physical damage. My hearts out to the brave 10 year old living her life not knowing what will happen next.

This is terrible. And this isn't going to go away, and she's not going to get over it. She has to live with this terrible scar in her past. How can one think that they have the right to do this to others, and how can a mother not protect her own child?
ReplyDeleteThis is awful. No child should have the burden of caring a child within in them. This is so sad. I don't know if I agree with the fact that the mom is being charged also however because its very possible that she had no idea what was happening. I pray for this 10 year old and that she stays strong, though this tragic event will most likely scar her emotionally, physically and maybe mentally.
ReplyDeleteThis is so insane. Rape and objectification of women has been a problem, especially since the 20's when the idea of women being objects became abundant. It's been a problem before then of course, either way, the way women are and have been treated is unacceptable. Especially to a 10 year old? This shocked me so much and I'm honestly at a loss of words.
ReplyDeleteThis is heartbreaking and rape is disgusting and despicable. But I do hope the child being brought into the world is the one thing that shines goodness into the situation. A child is not a burden no matter how they were brought into the world. It's going to he a crazy and difficult ride, but the baby could even be a huge part of the healing process for the traumatized young girl.
ReplyDeleteThis is so awful. I agree with Alex. I hope since this situation has been brought to the media that something is actually done about this situation.
