Declaring that “life must always be protected”, a senior Vatican cleric has defended the Catholic Church’s decision to excommunicate the mother and doctors of a nine-year-old rape victim who had a life-saving abortion in Brazil.
Cardinal Giovanni Batista Re, who heads the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, told reporters that although the girl fell pregnant after apparently being abused by her stepfather, her twins had, “the right to live, and could not be eliminated”.
In an interview with the Italian newspaper, La Stampa, the cardinal added: “It is a sad case but the real problem is that the twins conceived were two innocent persons. Life must always be protected.”
Police believe the girl was sexually assaulted for years by her stepfather, possibly since she was six. That she was four months pregnant with twins emerged only after she was taken to hospital complaining of severe stomach pains.
The controversy represents a PR nightmare for the Vatican. The unnamed girl’s mother and doctors were excommunicated for agreeing to Wednesday’s emergency abortion yet the Church has not taken formal steps against the stepfather, who is in custody. Jose Cardoso Sobrinho, the conservative regional archbishop for Pernambuco where the girl was rushed to hospital, has said that the man would not be thrown out of the Church, because although he had allegedly committed “a heinous crime”, the Church took the view that “the abortion, the elimination of an innocent life, was more serious”.
The case has set off fierce debate in Brazil, where abortion is permitted only in cases of rape or a medical emergency. Brazil is one of the most populous Catholic countries, but conservative attitudes in rural areas are strongly at odds with the relatively progressive public view of abortion in major cities.
Even the President, Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva, has waded into the row. “As a Christian and a Catholic, I deeply regret that a bishop of the Catholic Church has such a conservative attitude,” he said “The doctors did what had to be done: save the life of a girl of nine years old. In this case, the medical profession was more right than the Church.”
One of the doctors involved in the abortion, Rivaldo Albuquerque, has raised the prospect of public clashes at his local church, telling Globo, the nation’s main TV network, that he would keep going to mass there, regardless of the archbishop’s order. The young girl at the centre of the case escaped excommunication only because she is still a child in the eyes of Church authorities. The stepfather, who is 23, was arrested last week, apparently trying to escape to another region of the country. Police say he is also suspected of abusing the girl’s handicapped 14-year-old sister. He is in protective custody, and if convicted faces up to 15 years in prison.

Surprised they didn’t force the young girl to marry her rapist, but I suppose that’s only because he was already married to her mother.
The Vatican and everyone in it needs to burn.
I’ve blogged about this story before, but yeah. A stepfather molested his young stepdaughter, and she became pregnant with twins. At age 9. N-I-N-E. That’s basically the definition of “babies having babies.” Her mother found doctors willing to terminate the pregnancy, and they were all excommunicated. But not the stepfather. Because sexually abusing living, actual children is totally cool - the Catholic Church has proved that on multiple occasions - but preventing a nine-year-old from giving birth to her stepfather’s children conceived in rape is worthy of excommunication.
Awful.

Holy shit. HOLY. SHIT. What is wrong with you people. She’s NINE. Having twins would have KILLED HER. Not to mention the psychological and emotional damage that comes with giving birth to YOUR STEPFATHER’s bastards. Jesus freaking Christ.
Oh but if we were actually concerned about her psychological and emotional damage—we’d be giving this man more than 15 years for doing this to a poor girl, and she wouldn’t have to watch her family getting excommunicated for something that she is probably going to believe for a very long time is her “fault” thanks to victim blaming.
Poor baby. Way to fuck this one up Vatican. I mean, I’m not really surprised, but you know, I had hoped eventually you’d buck up to common freaking decency.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4ft58huYa1qd7hayo1_500.jpg)

Scarf cat.
You know, at first, I was all “Dora has claws! I don’t do that with her!” for fear of part two of this comic with the sneezing and the cat freaking out.
And then I realized today as I picked up my beloved cat in one arm and carried a glass in another—I totally do that. She’s just so used to it she doesn’t freak out even when I sneeze…She likes her busty bed. It’s so soft and cozy…
>.> I love my cat, but I don’t think I want to continue to encourage the behavior. It only takes once for her to scratch the daylights out of the girls.

Actually—I’ve started buying a lot of mens’ products. For example: Deodorant. Some companies do have a difference in their male and female deodorants, or all they do is male deodorant—and the male deodorant works better for sweaty smelly working out me. It last longer then frou frou stuff.
So if there is a difference, or not, but the mens is cheaper: go with the guy deodorant. Or whatever. Most people do not actually recognize that the “amazing smell!” they smell coming from me when I’m not wearing perfume is the perfect blend of fabric softner and mens deodorant. True story.

This is probably going to get quoted in every publication just because I said it. And I’m not even saying anything. I’m not talking about my films, I’m not talking about my life, and I’m not talking about the world. And yet, the media will print it simply because I said it. And at this moment in time, I bet there is an artist around the corner of this hotel, on the street, with a mind far beyond ours, but we will never listen to him simply because he has not appeared in a movie. And that is what is fucked up about our culture.
