Abortion Denied - You're too young and can't properly deal with the emotional trauma of having an abortion because a man raped you. You'll also have to spend more money to keep you and the product of the rape alive until it's born, then spend even more trying to keep it alive. It's o.k. though, everything has been sanctioned by the government so it's totally legal and morally justified because the government has your best interests at heart... /s

Authorities in the Tucuman region took five weeks to decide whether she should be granted the procedure, with several doctors refusing on "conscientious objection" grounds.

Her pregnancy continued to 23 weeks, at which point it was deemed too risky to have an abortion.

Abortion is only allowed in Argentina in cases of rape or where the mother's health is at risk.

How the fuck did she not clearly qualify on both grounds? How did they take actual weeks to make what should have been a black and white decision??

I'm reading it as they stalled until it was considered too late. I wouldn't be surprised.

Argentine lawyers are seeking homicide charges against doctors following the death of a baby after the newborn's 11-year-old mother went into hospital for an abortion, not a delivery.

The lawyers are accusing doctors Cecilia Ousset and José Alberto Gigena of 'judicial disobedience and failure to comply with the duties of a public official' after they performed a C-section on the pre-teen, who was allegedly raped by her grandmother's 65-year-old boyfriend, Eliseo Víctor Amaya.

The family's team of legal representatives also held culpable Adriana Romano Mazzone, a governmental advocate for children's services.

The 23-week pregnant girl underwent a cesarean delivery February 26 after the Public Health Ministry fought hard to make sure the courts wouldn't permit an emergency abortion.

The government agency reportedly made sure that the medical staff did everything possible to preserve the lives of the girl and the five-month-old fetus at Eva Perón Hospital in the northwest Argentine province of Tucumán.

The girl eventually gave birth to a tiny baby girl who weighed just 1.3 pounds. The baby died last Friday afternoon at just nine days old due respiratory complications.

María Teresa Mockevich, one of the eight lawyers representing the family, said in an interview with Argentine news station Todo Noticias that the doctors delivered the baby knowing it could not survive.

'So right there we are no longer talking about an abortion, we are talking about homicide,' she said.
