A girl became pregnant after being raped by her grandmother’s 65-year-old partner and had requested an abortion. However, her request was delayed by almost five weeks because some doctors refused to carry out the procedure. Eventually, the doctors carried out a C-section instead, arguing it would have been too risky to perform the abortion. The baby is alive but doctors say it has little chance of surviving. The girl was 23 weeks pregnant when she was to have the abortion. (BBCnews)
