Judge sentences girl to abort baby

[Hugo Chavez]

An Italian judge ordered a 13 year old girl from Torino to abort her unborn child because her parents were opposed to the baby.

Italian legislation states that a minor is not allowed to decide whether to abort or not and the 'decision'  falls entirely on the guardians or parents.

The shocking story was brought into light by Italian newspaper La Stampa in which the paper reports that the girl didn't want to abort the baby but had to after the ruling. She then had to receive treatment after telling her parents she was going to attempt a suicide.

Responsible parents.

The kid has no business being a parent at age 13.

Must've been very hard for the parents, but the easy decision isn't always the right one.

Hopefully their daughter will one day understand her parents.

I bet this screws up that girl mentally/emotionally for life.

It was their decision from the start. Not sure how the 13 year old kid thought she was going to do burden he parents with the responsibilities of the child.

Murder is not a "tough" decision
