MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay - A learning-disabled 11-year-old Uruguayan girl who was raped and impregnated wants to give birth to her child, in echoes of a case in Paraguay that is similarly stirring fierce debate.

The girl, who has not been named, is 16 weeks pregnant and described by doctors and sources close to her family as suffering slight mental retardation and learning disabilities.

She was reportedly raped by the 41-year-old grandfather of her half-sister, who visited her family's home in Montevideo frequently, sources close to the family told AFP on Thursday, when details of her case emerged.

The man has been detained and will be prosecuted for rape, officials said.

Why should it be possible for a filthy, disgusting, slimy old pervert to turn a little, disabled girl into a mother? Why should this even be possible?
