Really? Ex-communication

So, I'm reading about the 13-yr old boy in England who supposedly fathered a baby by his 15-yr old girlfriend. Only, as it turns out, he might not be the dad after all. 2 other boys (both under age) have said they could be the father and, allegedly, so could about 5 others. After reading that doozy, I click on over to this story. What a night!


Allegedly, a 9-yr old girl and her sister have been raped/molested by their 23-yr old stepdad for about 3 years. She gets pregnant with his baby. Only it's twins. She's 9. Doctors tell her mom the girl's 79 pound frame cannot support 1 baby, much less twins and recommend an abortion. She allegedly has the abortion. 

Who does the Archbishop ex-communicate? The stepdad? Hell no. The girl's mother and the girl. Apparently, it is worse to murder a baby (or twins) that could kill you if you try to carry them to term than it is to rape your daughter.

Fortunately, the counsel of bishops overturned the decision. But what a great message to send to a 9-yr old girl who has allegedly been subjected to unknown horrors. Your rapist's soul is better than yours because he only raped you. He didn't kill you. Nice.
