About This Quote
A thirteen-year-old girl had been raped by someone she knew. She was the only survivor of the attack, and she was pregnant with her rapist’s child. When she told her parents what happened, they didn’t believe her at first. After a few weeks of this denial, however, she chose to go to a hospital to have an abortion.
The doctor who performed the abortion became concerned when the young girl began to suffer from severe abdominal pain. He examined her and found she had been bled out after a miscarriage. She was bleeding profusely, yet her parents chose to ignore these symptoms and chose instead to allow her to die.
Her parents chose to ignore the signs that their daughter was bleeding out because they were more focused on denying what had happened to their daughter. They chose not to see that their daughter was in danger or that they were rejecting her as a victim of sexual abuse so they could harbor this anger against the man who raped their daughter instead of seeking help for their daughter. The doctor who treated this girl went on to become one of the world’s leading experts on post-abortion syndrome.
