God's Law

This story is another one of these examples of the Catholic church opposing abortion, even in the most extreme cases.

A 9 year old girl has been raped by her stepfather and subsequently become pregnant with twins. The Church argued against allowing an abortion because it is against "God's law." So it is the will of God that a 9 year old girl should give birth to twins; a task that would very likely kill her. That must also mean that it was God's will that she was raped in the first place. What kind of god condones raping small children? I know, the god of the Old Testament.

These people seriously need to think about what they are saying. Any reasonable person in their right mind will agree that aborting the foetuses of a 9 year old rape victim is the right thing to do. If God is as wonderful as Christians say he is, then surely he would agree too!

Pure Madness.
