Romanian Government to Decide on Abortion for 11-Year-Old Incest Victim
China Daily: Romanian gov't to decide on 11-year-old girl abortion:
BUCHAREST, Romania -- Romania's health minister said Wednesday a government committee will decide this week whether an 11-year-old who was raped by her uncle can go to Britain for an abortion or must continue the pregnancy.
The case, which surfaced earlier this month, has bitterly divided the medical community, child rights groups and the public.
The girl is 20 weeks pregnant, which is over the legal limit for abortions in Romania.
