that is a high risk situation a disaster waiting to happen.

I hate these people.


Going back say 12 years ago, a speaker at my Sunday School class apologized for his wife's absence. She is a nursing professor OB/GYN) at a local university, and was on clinical training the day before and was too depressed to be around us because she had delivered a 10 yr old. So this baby having a baby thing is not a new thing (at least here) . Since we know these baby girls are not going around being temptresses looking for sex, it stands to reason she was raped.

I have heard that gang members will assault these young girls because they know they are "clean" as in no STDs.

Another friend is retired now but was the Director of the Rape Crisis Center here. She has enough horror stories for a book, but this is her worst one. In fact it was one of the many background stories used by Wendy Davis in her famous filibuster.

A mother brought in her 12 yr old daughter; she had come home from work early and caught her husband in the act of raping the girl. Turns out this had been going on for some time, and the girl was 4 months pregnant - she had never had a period. At the time it was still possible to get an abortion under 16 weeks gestation.
