Abortion: yes or no?
For Gonzalez??
no...
And depending on the answer, Caesarian or not?
Yes
In this case YES. How cruel is it to expect a nine year old to go through pregnancy and childbirth that were a result of rape??
In this case, yes.
I am anti-abortion except in cases like this. A 9 year old? OMG.
This is why abortion should never have been either criminalized or
made a "woman's right". Should have been left to the states, and in turn to families, ministers and doctors, except that there shoul be some rights of unborn babies. This is much too complicated an issue to be cut and dried by the govt, courts, etc.

Abortion: yes or no? >>
Why?
What did the child do?

General, I think you must be "hopped up on the beeber" to ask that question here! To answer the question: yes.
The perp should get the death penalty. The girl will be traumatized as much by an abortion as she will be by a birth. But I doubt she can physically carry the baby to term. If the baby CAN live, then he/she should have every right to life that any other human being enjoys. Again, I doubt it is physically possible for the nine-year-old to carry the child.
I would leave it up to the parents, child, and her doctors. I SERIOUSLY doubt she could carry the child to term in her littel body. IF (huge if) she could (her doctors say) carry it with little more than the normal risk, and she and her parents wanted to keep the baby, then I guess it would be up to them.
Unfortunately, 24 years old is too old to abort.
YES!!!!
I already lost that argument with your mother.
Abortion: Yes.
Death Penalty for Mr. Softy: Yes.
Ouch.
No. I can't justify the murder of a second child, in response to the rape of the first. Exception being, of course, if the 9-yo is truly endangered by the pregnancy.
As for the rapist.... I say don't kill him, either. Just put him in with the general prison population.
I don't think a 9 year old is equipped to carry a baby full term physically. This could very well risk her life.
Abortion: yes or no?
It doesn't have to be a fight. Not everything is black and white. This is definitely in the grey area, in my opinion. This is a case where I could say yes. But there should be no hesitation, because once it gets outside of the grey area, I would have to say no. And imprison the child molesting b******d for life, and not in one of those sexual offender prisons, either.
