RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec 18 (LSN)—A retired Brazilian obstetrician saved the life of the baby of an eleven-year-old girl, who was scheduled to be aborted the next day. The heroic doctor travelled to the girl’s hometown of Sapucaia in Rio de Janeiro state, after hearing about her case on television, and persuaded the girl’s father to save the baby with the help of the local priest. The father, priest and doctor then rushed to Rio de Janeiro, where the girl had already been hospitalized awaiting the abortion.

Claiming she was raped, the girl and her family asked Brazilian Judge Luiz Mangabeira Cardoso, to permit doctors to kill her 4-month-old preborn child. Cardosso gave his okay to the abortion on Monday.
