Congrats on your 26 week daughter Kimberly, it’s nice to hear she’s doing well. I can’t imagine what you must have gone thru emotionally until you could get her home, you must have been on edge and worried sick for months.

After reading things like this, how anyone can support partial birth late term abortion is totally beyond me… which is why, I suppose, the pro-abortion fanatics get so upset about anyone seeing in utero pictures of babies or when they hear about things like this, very premature babies surviving, it undercuts their position in a very emotional and striking way.

Wonderful story!

Maybe that is what we should do to trolls and brain dead libs, have Ben Stein read the telephone book to them.

I hear so many say it is for the benefit and health of the mother…

They just destroyed this girls life in forcing her to do this. Her beliefs, she knew she was pregnant and she knows you made her murder her child she wanted to keep.

You tell me how this will end now….

She then had to receive treatment after telling her parents she was going to attempt a suicide.

….

After the abortion the girl went into a frenzy and threatened she was going to kill herself.

But it was for the health of the mother…

It was for her own good….

Truly sickening.

I guess what the parents want override what the pregnant girl wants…because it isn’t her body, its her parents and the courts can step in and make you kill your baby when you don’t want to?

Do I have that about right?

Judge sentences girl to abort baby
13 year old had to abort because of a judge ruling

An Italian judge ordered a 13 year old girl from Torino to abort her unborn child because her parents were opposed to the baby.

Italian legislation states that a minor is not allowed to decide whether to abort or not and the ‘decision’ falls entirely on the guardians or parents.

The shocking story was brought into light by Italian newspaper La Stampa in which the paper reports that the girl didn’t want to abort the baby but had to after the ruling. She then had to receive treatment after telling her parents she was going to attempt a suicide.

The girl got pregnant by her 15 year old boyfriend but despite this she still wanted to keep the baby.

However her parents were very angry and demanded an abortion. After the abortion the girl went into a frenzy and threatened she was going to kill herself.

“The unborn baby is still a life and I defend life whatever the situation.” Severino Poletto, Archbishop of Torino told the paper.

“Society must take of this child. I certainly oppose abortions but this case allows us to reflect on the situation. We have to take a step back and ask ourselves how this could have happened to a 13 year old girl.” he added.

No, I think the question should be how can you let the courts take away the right of this girl to keep the baby, even if the parents oppose it.

We hear the arguements about the “right” of a woman or even girls to abort a baby, but this is a cse where a girl was FORCED to have an abortion against her will.

Where is the condemnation?
Where the outrage?
Where the anger?

Media? Womens groups? NOW?

Hypocrites.

A neighbor 2 houses away from me has a miracle baby also named Luke. He was playing ball in my driveway with me today (he’s now 4). He had quite an ordeal being born though. I don’t know all the details. I only remember the parents using the phrase “million dollar baby”.

Sister Toldjah has the amazing story here and there’s a video report over at nbc6.net too….

Not to drift off-topic, but we had our own minor medical miracle this past weekend. Last Friday our son came down with a high fever and breathing trouble. At the hospital he was diagnosed with pneumonia. A century ago he probably would not have survived. Today he recovering nicely, although he sleeps a lot more than usual. He did not even have to stay overnight, but was able to come home that afternoon after receiving antibiotics and breathing treatments.

May God watch over Amilia – and our son.
