Either is up to personal opinion.

Both. Where does life come from if not from God?
And if it's a gift from God, who are we to end it?

Hmmm....life comes from two cells (egg and sperm) merging then dividing multiple times in a very choreographed manner as determined by specialized genes. Where those genes originated is up for debate. Whether or not they came from a God cannot be proven. That is your belief but can't be forced on anyone else.

If the product of two cells merging and dividing cannot be determined to be a gift of God, your second question is therefore invalid.

I feel for this poor child. The fact of the matter is, in Mexico it is too late for her to get an abortion. Abortion or no abortion, this child has a poor chance at a normal life. In the end, I care less about the fetus in her uterus than the welfare of the 10 year old that now is a "mother."

Darn! Nevermind then.

Sad and I hope she has a strong support system...somewhere.
