SAO PAULO, Dec 13 (LSN) – In a case which parallels recent events in Ireland, an 11-year-old Brazilian girl known as “M,” pregnant allegedly due to rape, is requesting an abortion. M and her family have asked a Brazilian judge to permit doctors to kill the 4-month-old preborn child.

Paulo newspaper that the abortion request is in keeping with Brazil's relatively strict abortion law
