Buenos
Aires — A court in Argentina ruled Friday that a 14-year old rape victim could
have an abortion, overturning a lower court decision barring the girl from
seeking the procedure which had triggered outrage.
The teenage
girl discovered early last month that she was pregnant after being raped by her
mother's partner.
The teen
and her mother, who live in the city of Salta, one of the most conservative in
Argentina, sought an abortion at an area hospital.
But a
family court judge in a December 17 ruling denied her petition to terminate her
pregnancy, instead ordering the girl to give birth and surrender the baby for
adoption.
The lower
court decision had provoked an outcry by women's groups which maintained that
the judge had exceeded his authority.
Judge
Victor Soria ruled that the right to life of the unborn child trumped the
rights of the teen -- but Salta's Supreme Court on Friday overturned that
decision.
Abortion
for the most part is illegal in Argentina. But there are exceptions, including
in the case of rape, or when the life of the mother is at risk.
A federal
Supreme Court last year issued a ruling that rape victims could not be punished
for terminating a pregnancy, and no longer would need a court's permission to
get an abortion.
The court
ruled that a woman's sworn statement at the doctor's office that she had been
impregnated following a sexual assault would be sufficient.
But the
high court ruling has not always been observed, with some conservative
localities -- like Salta, located some 1500 km (932 miles) from Buenos Aires --
still requiring that rape victims seek court permission for an abortion, and in
some cases refusing to grant it.
Abortion
rights groups have been outraged by the girl's case.
"When
it comes to a woman's body and her authority over her own body, what we have is
a male-dominated, patriarchal majority in society and the Catholic
Church," said Mabel Gabarra, with the national campain for free and legal
abortion.
Though
Argentina has its first woman elected president, Cristina Kirchner -- and has
been progressive in social policies such as legal same-sex marriage and
transgender rights recognition -- abortion is still a social taboo.

Question: Dear Kryon, thank you for the many communications you have given. They have been enlightening in many ways. I hope this is not a rude question, but it is a subject that I have not seen addressed in the collection of Questions and Answers. I want to know: What is the morality of stopping someone's new life in the physical plane, by abortion? And what is the karma to the person who helps to accomplish an abortion? I think it will depend on when a Human life begins. When life begins is a moment that is very important to those who oppose abortion and those who say it is allowable.
Do you have a decisive response to guide those who receive your words?
Answer: [from Lee Carroll] We have tried to "paint" Kryon into a corner on this many times, since it really is an important issue in our society. Kryon says this: "Human life actually begins when the intent of the entities involved in the planning session is to create it." It's not a biological answer, and it won't please either side.
This places it far before any kind of biological morality decision. Kryon has said that there is no judgement in the choice of Humans... including this one. When it occurs, there is also no horrible karmic payback. But there IS energy created that affects everyone around the event. Sometimes these lives come and go to create lessons for those involved, then these terminated lives return almost immediately, often within the next pregnancy (sometimes changing gender). If there is no next pregnancy, often it's in a very close family group.
God is not in a vacuum concerning these things, and often they are set-ups, and are executed with the agreement of all parties in advance. This is far different than our society wishes to believe. They want to paint a black and white answer to when life occurs, and set rules on what you can and cannot do with it. Instead, Kryon's answer gives honor and validity to the fact that you are not here by accident, and the things that take place in your lives are not random. Not to mention the fact that your free choice is the free choice of God (since you are a piece of God).
So we leave the biological cultural decisions for those who wish to make them, but we have heard the spiritual answers many times... that these things are far more than they appear, and are all part of our spiritual setups, and they are honored.

"... I want to define life for you - not biological life, but spiritual life. So for all those intellectuals, just hold on, for many won't like this. Spiritual life, as measured by Spirit, is when a Human has free choice. When is that? It's when they take their first breath. Not in utero. There will be those who will say, "That's wrong, that's wrong. The soul in the woman's body is alive!" Just wait. I'm talking about spiritually. That which Spirit sees, and it's when you come from the other side of the veil and take your first breath.
A child with the mother has no free choice. That child is linked to the choice of the mother until it is born. It is, indeed, a soul in preparation for free choice, and there are many attributes that are spiritual that we have discussed before about how that soul reacts. But now I'm discussing life with polarity [duality], free choice.
But let's discuss that "child inside" for a moment, for there is a process I want you to know about. I want to talk about 240 days into the pregnancy. At about that time, the child has perfect DNA. It hasn't taken its first breath. The DNA hasn't measured the energy of the planet yet, since it is contained. Did you realize that? Inside the womb is a perfect child. The child's DNA has all the attributes of the Akash and also the parent, but it's different in a way you have not been told. The DNA is 100% as designed.
The quantum instructions within the DNA are all talking to the biology of the child,, getting ready for the first breath. ..."
