Doctor excommunicated for abortion on child rape victim

Speaking of barbarians, the Catholic Church isn't exactly in the same league with the Saudis, but they sure would like to be. Note that the rapist was not excommunicated, only the doctor and the little girls mother. I'm sure the church would've liked to see them lashed or killed - the only difference between Saudi Arabia and Brazil in that the church no longer runs the latter. That does not make the barbarism any less apparent.

A doctor excommunicated by the Catholic Church for performing an abortion on a 9-year-old rape victim received a standing ovation during a national convention on women's health, according to a local media report.
