C'est CRAZY!!
It doesn't say who the father was either. Or how she got pregnant
1. The girl is 12. Whether she gave consent or not is irrelevant, any girl aged under 13 can NOT give consent in law. Ergo, she was raped.
2. They wouldn't take the kid off of her unless the child was in danger. And if the girl has the support of her family then the child would, in all likelihood, not be in danger.
3. No-one can be FORCED to have an abortion, even the mentally ill (as far as I am aware). Medical advice cannot be used to force an abortion.

Why does noone understand the law?
If you are aged under 13, you cannot give consent to sexual intercourse. You are not deemed mature enough to be able to give the consent. Sex without consent is rape, therefore having sex with a girl aged under 13 is statutory rape, regardless of whether the girl wanted it or anything.
Girls aged 13-15 are deemed capable of giving consent, as they understand whay the consent means, but they are not believed mature enough to fully understand all the consequences of sex. they are not felt to be emotionally mature enough to have a sexual erelationship, therefore it is illegal to have sex with a girl aged 13-15, punishable by a jail sentence of up top five years, but it is not statutory rape because consent was given, even if immaturely.
Sorry, its just that it scares me how few people actually know the law.
