This whole thing raises a few questions in my mind:

@ The article says the judge made his decision taking into account what he thought the lady would want. She has a mental age of 4! When do we ever allow the wishes of a 4 year old, even an articulate one, to determine law?

@ The article said the judge made his decision based on risk to the health of the mother. It also said that the doctors refused because there was no medical reason. Only one of these can be right and which one it is is of great importance. Which is it?

@ Why do people (and I'm speaking to WhoaitsZ and the like) think that male rape is a part of the punishment of prison. In the same breath you say that rape is despicable, and then you go and condone, even encourage, rape. It just makes me sick and angry.

@ Saying that "disabled" people shouldn't reproduce is just wrong. For most purposes (university, job applications, employment entitlements) I am classified as disabled - for a reading disorder - should I be allowed to have children?
