11-Year-Old Mexican 'Rape' Victim Wants to Keep Baby (Women's Groups Pressure to Abort)

Despite pressure from women's groups, the 11-year-old is enthusiastic about her impending motherhood, according to sources.

An 11-year-old girl in Mexico allegedly raped by her stepfather and now more than four months pregnant says she wants to have his baby – despite pressure from women’s groups who want her to have an abortion, pro-life activists in the country say.

They say attorneys for abortion-rights activists have shown up at the girl's home with plane tickets in hand in an attempt to whisk her away to get an abortion, but the child has said adamantly, “This is my baby. I’m having my baby. I will call my girl Alejandra.”

The mother-to-be, from the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, has become the poster child for abortion rights in a country where laws pertaining to the procedure vary dramatically from state to state.

In 2007, Mexico City passed a law allowing abortions to be performed without restrictions in the first three months of pregnancy. The law was challenged, but it was upheld on appeal. Since then, 17 of Mexico’s

Last month, when the then-10-year-old girl’s mother told police that her daughter had been raped by the girl's stepfather, she told authorities that she thought her daughter was 14 weeks pregnant, or 98 days, which was beyond the state’s 90-day limit. But women’s rights groups said that because it was unclear exactly how far along the girl was in her pregnancy, an argument could be made that she was still within the 90-day limit.

Women’s rights groups maintain that the girl is small even for an 11-year-old and that forcing her to give birth puts her life in danger. They say she is being pressured to have the child and was never informed of all her options.

But others say that’s not true.

Aborting that baby will not make her feel better, nor will it un-rape her.

I hope Mr. Stepfather swings soon, however. I am all for his “abortion.”

Let's all say a prayer that this child is safe. The father of the baby needs to be locked up, and the mother needs a kick in the ass. I'll never believe a good mother wouldn't know what kind of jackass she brought home.

Amen and I agree.

“women's groups” is a euphemism for GHOUL.

These “women’s groups” focus all their anger on an unborn child, but none upon a lecherous step-father.

I guess they mean it wasn’t “rape rape”, i.e. not forceable.

Good question. In the article it says the girls mother is not convinced that the stepfather really impregnated her. Of course, that proves nothing.

The article also says the girl said she was raped.
I rather doubt that was her word.
Probable said he had sex with her or they messed around or played a game and police or media inserted “rape” since she probably had no concept of statutory rape.

True, but I’ll say that at least she did the right thing in turning him in when she found out about the rape, and having him arrested! She’s probably blaming herself to some extent as well. Also I would point out that she’s backing her little girl in her pregnancy!
