11-year old rape victim gives birth in Paraguay

When I read this article, I was livid for two reasons: 1. The stepfather raped this young girl, causing her to give birth, and 2. The idiot medical professionals who denied this girl an abortion. Under normal circumstances, I would be against abortion because most times, it's an easy way out for a lot of women. They don't want such & such man to see the child, so they kill the baby. Cut the crap; you laid down with that man so even though you may not want the child, he may want to be a father so at least give him the chance to be in his child's life. This is one of the only instances where I'm for abortion. An 11, 12-year old giving birth? Really? I'm glad the baby is healthy, but this is foul on many levels. As for the stepfather, he has a price on his head once he gets behind those bars. It's understood among inmate circles that child sex offenders are hated. They're hated because they victimized a child who couldn't defend themselves. What really irks me is the idiot medical professionals who denied this girl an abortion, and I'll explain why.

This girl didn't ask to be raped by her stepfather, he forced himself on her and as a result she gave birth. That alone qualifies her for an abortion because an 11-year old girl's body isn't tough enough to handle pregnancy. Medical professionals denied this young girl an abortion because they don't care about the woman's welfare. They don't care that this young girl could be scarred for life as a result of this terrible situation, and they don't care how it affects the child. Pregnancy is tough on a woman's body, so I imagine how hard a C-section was for this young girl, who's body hasn't fully developed yet. Again, I'm glad the baby's life was spared, but once the baby gets older, she will ask tough questions the mother may not be ready for. I'm looking at this from the child and mother's viewpoint: Having to explain to your child that they were born under terrible circumstances, and the child growing up hating the man who violated their mom. No one should have to go through that. I'm all for children making an impact on the world, but under the right circumstances.

Facebook Video: Kicked Out Of Ministry

Kicked Out Of Ministry For Speaking Up?

The young lady in this video (Diamond) posted the aforementioned Facebook video because she was ousted from serving in ministry at Detroit's Greater Grace Temple. The reason she was outed was because she stood up for what she felt was right. That's sad that you can't speak your mind without being kicked out of ministry. True, you're supposed to honor those in authority, but if you see something that's out of order, bring it to the leader's attention and let them deal with it. If they don't, that's on them. At least you did your part by bringing the grievance to the leader's attention. I don't see anything wrong with what she did. This video doesn't surprise me at all, because a lot of black churches are petty like that. People get a little power and let it go to their heads. What's more disturbing is Dana's tone had pettiness & jealousy all over it, and had the nerve to say "I pray God's best for you, I love you, but your attendance is not required." Honestly, Diamond has nothing to be ashamed of because she stood up for what she felt was right. The blessing in this is that she's free to do what God has called her to do. The downside about this video is that it confirms what many nonbelievers already believe about church: That it's messy and full of petty so-called Christians. It wouldn't surprise me if the lady on the voicemail (name withheld) got Diamond outed from the armorbearer's ministry because she was jealous for whatever reason. Some blacks are petty like that.
