There is an issue of competing harms here. Forcing the 9-year-old to bring a child to term is, to put it mildly, reckless endangerment--the odds do not favor a successful delivery and, indeed, do not favor the mother's suriving the attempt. Is the unborn child's life more important than the mother's life?

You need to read the articles - the doctors on site said the health of the young mom was equally at risk from abortion or live delivery.
