Romanian girl wants abortion

I came across a very interesting article about abortion in the Sydney Morning Herald. The title of the article is 'Raped by her uncle, but can she have an abortion.' It was published by the SMH on June 26, 2008. You can view the article here: www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/06/26/1214073379526.html

An 11 year old girl was raped by her 19 year old uncle in Romania and wants an abortion. However, because she is 20 weeks pregnant, she is over the legal limit for an abortion in Romania. The article says, "...a government committee will decide this week whether an 11-year-old who was raped by her uncle can go to Britain for an abortion or must continue the pregnancy." The legal limit for an abortion in Britain is 24 weeks.

I think the girl should be allowed to have an abortion. She is only 11 years old, which is far too young an age to look after a child. Furthermore, she was raped, meaning she did not want to have a baby in the first place. The fact that this case has divided the public really astounds me. I thought most level-headed people would believe this girl should be allowed to have an abortion.

There not something like a bad blog, blogs are blogs, there is just good content and

bad content, keep up publishing good content and link a lot! And comment on other

blogs a lot, this is what makes for good blogs and bloggers.

Oh, and content don't need to be sophisticated to be good, on the contrary, I think

I miss many readers because the content is too sophisticated.

The challenge is to make good thinking accessible to everyone.

Woule like to here more on your project as time proceed.

Cases when abortion should be allowed

The following article discusses instances when abortion should be allowed. 

When I conducted an interview with my father (which you can listen to on our blog) we both touched on a few instances in which abortion should be allowed. These cases included rape, when a child would have mental or physical problems and when parents do not have the financial capabilities to raise a child. But this article is interesting as it looks at abortion from the perspective of a mother and the government. Abortion is considered acceptable if a mother's health would suffer and when governments need to monitor the size of the population. Some people believe that abortion is always wrong, but maybe they should re-evaluate their beliefs when looking at some of these cases.

"Some societies ban abortion almost completely while others permit it in certain cases.

Such societies usually lay down a maximum age after which the foetus must not be aborted, regardless of the circumstances.

At various times some of the following have been allowed in some societies:

* abortion for the sake of the mother's health
- including her mental health
* abortion where a pregnancy is the result of a crime
- such as crimes like rape, incest, or child abuse
* abortion where the child of the pregnancy would have an ' unacceptable quality of life' such as cases where the child would have
- serious physical handicaps,
- serious genetic problems,
- serious mental defects
* abortion for social reasons, including:
- poverty,
- mother unable to cope with a child (or another child),
- mother being too young to cope with a child
* abortion as a matter of government policy
- as a way of regulating population size
- as a way of regulating groups within a population
- as a way of improving the population"
