Imagine being 15 weeks pregnant with twins, you weigh 80 pounds yourself, and you’re 9 years old. This is not the product of a loving relationship, but rather the result of having been raped by a stepfather that should have protected you. This sounds bad enough, right? Wrong.
The catholic church then goes and gets its nose all bent out of shape, excommunicating everyone around you because they agreed that this pregnancy would kill you, as a tiny 9 year old, and they allowed you to have an abortion. When, according to the catholic church you should have been forced to carry this pregnancy to term, and then have a c-section. Just so the twins, the product of rape and betrayal, can live. Even if it means you, the 9 year old, would more than likely die carrying these fetuses to term. She is tiny! Her uterus cannot accommodate one, let alone TWO fetuses at this age. They would ALL die. Where is the common sense?????

I’m disgusted. This is a CHILD, who has been violated in the worst way, young and innocent and probably incredibly conflicted about the whole thing, and the catholic church goes and villifies her and her family. NOT the stepfather who raped her. Priorities, right?
THIS is why I’m not religious.
