A U.K. judge ordered a pregnant 11-year-old to get an abortion, ruling that termination was in the girl’s best interest, according to local media reports.
Court documents stemming from a private hearing last month have since been publicly released and show that a 10-year-old girl only identified as AZ was raped by a 14-year-old boy she met online. She was reportedly raped a few weeks later by another 14-year-old boy after her 11th birthday, the Independent reported.
"She became pregnant after being raped by a 14-year-old she met on the internet when she was aged 10, on the 18th or 21st of May 2023," London High Court judge Emma Arbuthnot, known professionally as Mrs. Justice Arbuthnot, said in her ruling.
"She was raped by another 14-year-old boy on the 11th of June 2023, but he did not make her pregnant."
She was about 14 weeks and six days pregnant during the hearing and told the court she was "happy" with the pregnancy, according to the Sun.
"When the many risks of continuing with the pregnancy were explained to her, AZ said she was ‘happy’ to be pregnant and wanted to continue with it," the judge said.
"Her views involved ‘naive magical thinking’ in her approach to the pregnancy," the judge added.
AZ explained the pregnancy made her feel "special," according to Arbuthnot, and her mother "supported AZ’s position."
A health board, however, applied for "declarations that termination of pregnancy would be in her best interests." A mental health consultant additionally argued that the girl "lacked competence" to carry through with the pregnancy, and a team of health specialists said the birth posed serious health risks to the girl, the Sun reported.

This child will be **** up for life.
You all wonder why I've lost my damn mind, this is why.
Can’t she just declare that she’s transitioning to male and that men can have babies, too? They would errct a statue to her if she did.
What happens to my body my choice?!
I almost posted a similar comment…
In the UK the courts seem to feel they are Gods. How many children have been killed by denial of access to care? How will that poor child cope with the fact that her child was killed? I hate that level of arrogance and such people should not have power.
Yet the naive magical thinking that is used to claim this is not murder continues to be accepted.
Evil....
Bet she’d be found cometent to require her breasts to be removed, to cross-dress, etc.
Move to Ireland for the duration?

LOCK UP THE MOMMA.
PUT THE KID INTO A HOME THAT GIVES A DAMN.
Beyond the wrongness of abortion I have to ask “Where the hell were the parents?”
While it is true that a pregnancy and birth is dangerous for an 11-year old, why not just order intensive medical. care?
Oh yeah, abortion is cheaper for the state.
I wonder if the two boys were prosecuted?
Dream on.
A John Hopkins University study of a group of foster children in Maryland found that children in foster care are four times more likely to be sexually abused than their peers not in this setting, and children in group homes are 28 times more likely to be abused.
An Oregon and Washington state study determined that almost one-third of foster children reported abuse by a foster parent or another adult in the home.
Researchers of a study of investigations of abuse in New Jersey foster homes, concluded that “no assurances can be given” that any foster child in the state is safe.

Is that the Judge?
AZ needs to be put on birth control until forever.
what is wrong with people and where are her parents?
It would be dangerous but if she had excellent pre natal care she would come out fine.
It’s all in the quality of the pre natal care.
AZ was raped!
Those boys need to be in jail forever.
This child needs counseling and to learn about the dangers of the internet.
