Ideological religious stupidity

as we already know, the u.s. doesn't have a monopoly on religious wingnuttery...

For the second time in less than a month, Catholic groups yesterday managed to halt in court an abortion that was to be performed on a mentally handicapped woman who has been raped.

A judge accepted an injunction filed by pro-life groups linked to the Catholic Church to stop the abortion procedure which had been authorized by another judge on Friday in the province of Mendoza, some 1,000 kilometres west of Buenos Aires.

Provincial Health Minister Armando Caletti said that the abortion was to be conducted at a public hospital yesterday morning but had to be suspended due to the court order.
Abortion is illegal in Argentina, but the law foresees two exceptions: when a mentally disabled woman is victim of a rape or when there is a serious risk to the life of the mother.

let's make sure we always leave the option open for shoving OUR religious beliefs down someone else's throat, regardless of the circumstances...
