So often in advocating for life we are left with the really hard cases. If I had a dime for every time I was asked about rape… But for me, anyway, the point is that when abuse occurs, abortion doesn’t make that go away, or act as a panacea. You’re still left with a terrible situation, one in which there are no easy solutions. This case highlights my point:
A former restaurant manager is expected to be jailed for sexually exploiting a 14-year-old employee he made pregnant three times. A provincial court Judge Mark Tyndale raised the spectre of a four-year jail term Monday for the 35-year-old Calgary resident who earlier pleaded guilty. According to an agreed statement of facts, the restaurant manager and the girl began a relationship that turned sexual by April 2007. She got pregnant twice within a year, first having an abortion and then suffering a miscarriage. After the abortion, she attempted suicide. The man was charged in June 2008 and released with a provision he not have any contact with the girl. He breached the condition by visiting the hospital the day his baby was born.

Why was he released so early?? It makes me so angry. 14 is below the age of consent now, is it not? Shouldn’t it be treated as rape?
