A 10-year-old Mexican girl has given birth to a baby boy after a 31-week pregnancy, according to reports.

The premature infant, which weighed 3.3 pounds, was born by Caesarian section at the Women’s Hospital in the city of Puebla and is in the intensive care unit recovering from pneumonia.

The young mother, who is from the nearby San Francisco Totimehuacan community, has returned home after the procedure but visits the baby every day to breastfeed, officials said.

The Puebla state Attorney General's Office is now investigating whether the girl could have been raped and who the father is, the hospital’s director Rogelio Gonzalez said, according to UpFrontNewswire.

Mexican state laws say young moms are unable to have abortions unless a girl can prove she was the victim of sexual assault.

n August last year, 11-year-old Amalia had a child two weeks premature after she was denied an abortion by the local Justice Department during the fourth month of pregnancy.

She was raped repeatedly by her stepfather when she was 10 years old, but local laws do not allow terminations after three months.

It's not ok to rape children.

It is ok to kill children if their mother was raped.

I'll just leave this here.
 
I would LOVE to hear hardcore, no abortions EVER, anti-choicers argue that these girls' lives are now better because they were forced to give birth. Probably the only time you'd see conservatives wishing the US was more like Mexico.

Is there any indication that she wanted an abortion? Or do you believe in forced abortions.

No. 9 through 11 for girls on average nowadays, 12 through 14 for boys.

Onset of puberty in females is most closely tied to body weight.
In males there's no single, tell-tale sign, so it's difficult to pinpoint when it starts.

I remember that was jerkin' and squirtin' at age 8.

No, I don't believe in forced abortions and yes, there is indication.
