Ummmmmmmm... allowing a TEN YEAR OLD girl to continue with a pregnancy is INSANE! I don't care where people fall along the abortion debate, but this is NOT SAFE. Pregnancy is HARD on an ADULT body, but a child?! WTF?!

I would think that the psychological repercussions of an abortion would be worse.

Um. I'd have to say its not. I mean being upset about the abortion is better than being DEAD after attempting to deliver/delivering a baby.

10 year olds having babies in this day and age aren't as uncommon as people think it is. Sad, yet true.

10 year olds have been having babies in underdeveloped countries for quite a while now. Some of the first tests with the Pill (back in the 1950s) were done in areas where girls were age 19 and had 8-9-10 kids.

10 year olds might have been having babies for centuries but it still doesn't make it right. Rape, molestation, and incest have also been more common than thought of since the beginning of time but not many will argue that these things shouldn't be. A whole lot of things go on in the world that shouldn't. Just because societies come to accept horrible acts as "normal" doesn't mean that it's supposed to be. I will never be convinced that children should be pregnant or married, no matter the time period or culture. And you would think this would be "common sense" all over the world but it isn't.

I agree.

What about the psychological reprecussions of being a child (allegedly) raped by your stepfather and forced to have that child, in addition to the physical hardships of pregnancy and childbirth on a child body?

I agree that rape's a horrible thing to happen to anyone, but nothing can be done about that NOW...what there is control over is whether the little girl has to live the rest of her life knowing she killed her little baby.

Its not "her baby." Neither party had intentions nor discussed who would have ownership over said baby. And the child wouldn't be killing her baby. If anything, (in this case) aborting this unborn child would be a small step in righting this wrong.
On the "if this was my child" side of things, I too would do/say/act however I needed to make sure my child could endure the least amount of trauma. Certainly, going through childbirth at 10, IMO is out the window, regardless if the child would be kept or given for adoption. She would have a lifetime membership on the couch and therapy on a consistent basis. Her views on men, sex (and sexual abuse), trust, her body, relationships, children/procreation, and abortion, etc are skewed forever, and I highly doubt her brain can act in a childlike manner much longer.
As a mother, I'd seek therapy as well.. imagine the mother's psyche: her baby has been deflowered and taken advantage of in the worst way by someone you loved/trusted. That has to screw with a mother's mind.
Were there any legal repurcussions for the mother? I highly doubt the stepfather's rape was a one-time thing. The mother seriously had no idea? (Excuse my ignorance as I didn't read the article)

Imagine being that "baby"...grown up. Imagine how you'd feel knowing you were the product of incest. That's something that therapy can not heal. Better to not bring that life into the world.

Seriously: I'd much rather spare someone the feeling of not being properly cared for (financially, emotionally) because they werent exactly wanted/asked for.

It's not technically incest, they were not blood related.

I'm not advocating the 10 yr old RAISE the child, just bring into the world the life that God has already begun. I'm all for adopting the baby out!
TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT!

So if it was technically incest (blood relatives), would you still insist on bringing a 3 eyed product of incest into the world?
