An 11-year-old rape victim has been praised by Chile’s president, Sebastian Pinera, for saying she would be happy to keep her baby and shun abortion despite being 14 weeks pregnant through being raped by her mother’s partner.
President Pinera, whose government has opposed lifting the country’s ban on abortion, said he is surprised by the girl’s “depth and maturity”.
Pinera said the girl “surprised us all with words showing depth and maturity, when she said that, despite the pain caused by the man who raped her, she wanted to have and take care of her baby”.
