After a long judicial dispute, a 11-year-old girl became pregnant after being raped managed to have an abortion in Brazil, after almost seven months of gestation. After the resolution of the case, which had generated great controversy in the country, President Jair Bolsonaro strongly criticized the termination of the pregnancy.
The minor was finally able to have an abortion in a public hospital in the country, after weeks of uncertainty generated by the refusal of the judge to authorize the procedure, protected by law for this type of case. Even he forced her to have the baby and give it up for adoption.
After echoing the news, the right-wing president expressed his position through a series of posts on his official Twitter account and described as “inadmissible“The girl’s abortion.
“A SEVEN MONTHS pregnant baby. How it was generated or whether or not it is supported by the law is not debated. It is inadmissible to talk about taking the life of this defenseless being!”, He complained.
And he continued: “The only sure thing about the tragedy of the 7-month-old girl is that both she and the child were victims, innocent soulslives that should not pay for what they are not guilty of, but be protected from the environment in which they live, from the pain of trauma and the merciless harassment of pro-abortion groups.
Although he acknowledged that it is “a delicate case“, he remarked that” taking the life of an innocent person, in addition to violating the fundamental right of every human being, does not heal the wounds or do justice to anyone “, but, on the contrary,”abortion only exacerbates this tragedy“.
Then, he left a photo of a newborn and compared: “Below is a photo of a 25-week-old baby. The child, who is the biggest victim of this tragedyI was 29 years old. “

“If there is a chance preserve two INNOCENT livesWhy not defend them? The happiness of one depends on the death of the other. Why is whoever defends two lives worse than whoever defends only one? This difficulty is strange for someone who easily defends the life of bandits, “he considered in another tweet.
He also stressed that he has always fought “for tougher penalties for rapists, including chemical castration“, as it observes” the suffering of the victims and the cowardice of the rapists “.
“For us, both the 11-year-old and the 7-month-old are lives that must be preserved. For you and all those who promoted this barbarism, only one of these lives counts and the other can be disposed of in a landfill way, even if there is the possibility of avoiding it “, he concluded.
The controversial court case of the 11-year-old girl who was raped and became pregnant
The case came to light this week after The Intercept Brasil portal disclosed the content of the hearing in which Judge Joana Ribeiro, with the support of regional prosecutor Mirela Dutra, pressure the girl to have the baby and give him up for adoption.
“Would you like a little longer?? “Ribeiro asked the girl, who had been pregnant for more than 20 weeks at the time, at that hearing held last May, according to The Intercept Brasil.
The judge argued that giving the green light to abortion at that stage of pregnancy would be “homicide”, despite the victim being entitled to it, and also ordered the girl to enter a boarding school to prevent her from doing so. Like this.
The matter ended up in the hands of Justice after the aforementioned Florianópolis hospital initially refused to terminate the child’s pregnancy because it violated its internal protocols.
However, the day before the Federal Public Ministry recommended that the hospital respect the law and terminate the pregnancy of the child, who was about to enter the 29th week of pregnancy.
