UK Court Orders 11-Year-Old to Have an Abortion Even Though She Wanted to Keep the Baby

"Though it is undoubtedly clear that an 11-year-old does not have the ability to make such serious decisions, AZ's mother was willing to support her daughter in her decision." Cassy Fiano-Chesser, Live Action

(London, UK) — [LifeSiteNews.com] A young UK girl who became pregnant by rape at just 10 years old must abort her preborn baby, a High Court judge has ruled. (Image: Pixabay)

Citing court documents from last month, Fox News reported that the now-11-year-old girl, identified in court documents only as AZ, had met a 14-year-old boy online while just 10 years old and was raped by him in May, conceiving a child. She was reportedly raped by a second 14-year-old boy shortly after her 11th birthday.

London High Court judge Emma Arbuthnot ordered the girl to abort her baby this week, agreeing with the unanimous determination of a health board despite the fact that the 11-year-old said she didn't want an abortion and was supported in that decision by her mother.

According to Arbuthnot, the child was 14 weeks and six days pregnant at the time and "said she was 'happy' to be pregnant and wanted to continue with it," saying that it made her feel "special" even after "the many risks of continuing with the pregnancy were explained to her."

However, in her ruling, the judge dismissed the girl's desire to keep the baby as being based upon "naive magical thinking," and said "[a]n important factor in AZ's decision-making was that the birth of a child would ensure she would not have to return to school," The Sun reported.

Arbuthnot said the girl "lacked the intellectual development and capacity to process the complexity of the decisions that had to be made and her emotional investment in one outcome was clearly clouding her judgment."

Relying on the determination by the health board, the judge also pointed out that the physical risks incurred by AZ's pregnancy were significant when considering "the size of AZ's anatomy."

"Her body may be just too small to give birth other than by a caesarean," she said, adding that the "experience would be likely to traumatize her."

She apparently did not note the potential trauma after an abortion... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
