A senior Vatican cleric has defended the excommunication of the mother and doctors of a nine-year-old girl who had an abortion in Brazil after being raped [by her stepfather].

Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, head of the Catholic church's Congregation for Bishops, told the daily La Stampa on Saturday that the twins the girl had been carrying had a right to live.

This is such a fucking repugnant inhuman response I can't even ... I don't ... ALL I CAN SEE IS RED.

I wonder why the Church thinks the net loss of all three children is better than the guaranteed survival of one. I mean, they don't care about the girl as a human being, but you'd think they could at least do the math.

Yes, I'm very dark and bitter this morning. Maybe the girl and her mother can get amnesty to just totally go into hiding somewhere safe and away from asshole churchmen. That would have to be better than all this media attention and all this censure.

I imagine they presume that a nine-year-old getting pregnant is a miracle, therefore God wouldn't make her pregnant if he intended to kill her during the wonders of childbirth. (Never mind all the women who die exactly that way every day.)

Ah, logic. Such a mystery to a certain kind of asshole. *sigh*
