Vicious, inhumane stupidity

Via Pharyngula: A 9-year-old girl in Brazil was raped, became pregnant with twins, and had an abortion. The Catholic church comments, through Marcio Miranda, a lawyer for the Archdiocese of Olinda and Recife, that she should have carried the twins to term and had a c-section:

It's the law of God: Do not kill. We consider this murder.

A 9-year-old child should have carried twins to term?!

Here's a follow-up wherein the church excommunicates everyone involved in the abortion. But no excommunication for the raping stepfather, nope. That would be CRAZY.

I have to say, I'm thinking the people in question will definitely be better off not having this church in their lives.
