8. "Decide?" The younger the girl, the higher-risk the pregnancy. It can kill a little girl...

As for knowing when she’s pregnant, I know a woman (now 60) who was barely 14 when her abuse resulted in pregnancy. She didn’t even know she was pregnant until 7 months along, and that only was because her mother finally noticed something was different and took her to a doctor.

A little girl who was 9 when she was raped and 10 when she had a termination is scarcely able to make an informed decision about a matter that could rip her apart and/or kill her. She is still playing with dollies at this age. A baby of her very own sounds like a dolly.
