Nine-year old Brazilian rape victim receives abortion care

A nine-year old girl, pregnant with twins after being raped by her father, underwent an abortion yesterday in Brazil where abortion is illegal. [MSNBC]

Philadelphia filmmakers Janet Goldwater and Barbara Attie made a film that documents a story, synonymous to the one being reported today, that unfolded in Nicaragua a few years ago. Janet is always willing to talk about the film - maybe we could host her for a talk some time in the future. Information about Rosita here.
