3. This story makes me sick...

12 year old who is abandoned by her father, beaten by her mother and raped and impregnated by relative

A District Attorney and state governmental system all along the way until it reaches the Civil Court of Appeals, tries to prevent her from a constitutional right for a medical procedure to terminate that pregnancy resulting from a rape.

Next thing we find out, the system took their sweet ass time and wouldn't surprise me if they will claim its now a late-term abortion and should be prevented.

I feel sick....everyone in her short life has failed her. Thankfully the Appeals Court ruled correctly.

I hope she has a safe procedure and recovery and that there are some other people out there that will protect and help this 12 year old child have a future that won't be so cruel to her.
