11-Year-Old Bravely Rejected Abortion After Her Older Brother Raped Her
Life News ^ | May 15, 2015 | Sarah Zagorski

In 2006, Tressa Middleton became Britain’s youngest mother after her 16-year-old brother, Jason, raped her. She was only 11-years-old at the time but recently told the hosts of This Morning about the life-changing experience. She said, “Soon after I began noticing changes in my body. I eventually did a pregnancy test and it came up I was pregnant. I was too scared to tell my mum, so I told my aunt and then ran away. Mum was furious but she calmed down eventually.”

However, Middleton didn’t tell anyone about the rape; instead, she said the pregnancy was a result of consensual sex she had with another teenager. She did this to protect her mother but later shared the truth about her pregnancy.

Tragically, as a result, when she was 14-years-old she was forced to place her child for adoption.

She said, “I know it’s going to be hard for her to find out her uncle is actually her dad. I hope she doesn’t blame me for staying quiet.” She added, “If anything like this happened to you as a young girl you must speak out.”

According to the Daily Mail, Middleton recently reached out to the youngest parents currently in Britain and offered her support. She said, “I send her my warmest congratulations but it will be incredibly tough. At that age you’re so worried about what other people think at school. I had people throwing things at me with the baby in the buggy. And the bullies taunting you in the playground – that’s the worst.” The new mom in Britain is 11-years old and her boyfriend is 13.

As LifeNews previously reported, there have been two stories in the news about young girls becoming pregnant after rape; and one of those girls is in Uruguay and is adamantly refusing abortion. The 11-year-old girl has an intellectual disability and was raped by the 41-year-old grandfather of her half-sister.

Thankfully, in Uruguay abortion is illegal after 12-weeks and the girl is currently 16-weeks pregnant. However, medical documents reveal that the girl doesn’t understand the “consequences of pregnancy and motherhood” and one group in the country mentioned that abortion may be a possibility.

The director of Uruguay’s Child and Adolescent Institute (INAU), Marisa Linder, said, “Although the legal deadline for abortion has been exceeded, if we determine that the pregnancy endangers her health, judicial authorization could be granted.” The director of INAU’s health division, Monica Silva, responded and said that the girl is in good health. She added, “There is no risk of life for the girl or baby, so we cannot make her have an abortion.”

"She congratulated an 11 year old and 13 year old for having sex??... Sick freaks"

No, she didn't congratulate them for having sex! That's not what the article said. She congratulated the girls for giving birth to their babies. (The Holy Spirit is the Lord and Giver of Life.) And for not aborting them. (Abortion is murder.)

No. She congratulated them for giving the child life.

Why all the Hannity bashing from Freepers? He may not be the smartest guy in the world, but he is one of the good guys in the media. He has done very well for himself for such a dumb guy.

I don’t get it either.

That series of threads from some years back attacking Hannity is one of the very black marks against FreeRepublic posters. The posts ran into the hundreds. They went after him like jackals after a kill.

Those who believe that abortion is the only legitimate outcome for a natural pregnancy would bestow a form of PTSD for life on the girl.

Ah, yes; the pro-choice crowd. They are pro-choice as long as the choice is to abort!

You are correct and I noticed they did not include moms and sons. Which made me thank God for menopause and that most men are attracted to younger women.

The interesting about making a “rape exception” is that females who conceive via rape tend to be the least desirous of abortion. Many, probably most, feel that they mustn’t kill a baby to punish a rapist. That has been documented by several sources that I have seen though I can’t locate one of them quickly enough for this. Also rapees that are forced to abort by family or social workers (it happens) tend to have more psychological problems afterward, PTSD as it were.

People like Hannity and Beck just aren’t thinking. No person who spent 30 seconds thinking about it would conclude: “Becoming a murderer is a healing experience.”

That is how a pregnant victim often sees it. This horrible thing has been done to her. How can she repeat the horror by a more horrible action? Rape victims are reported to be more likely to understand the foetus as a living baby than are girls who just feel like they screwed up.

A fornicator is morally corrupt, while a rape victim is not. A fornicator is more likely to be a coward than a rape victim.
