It spare's the girls mental health and basic safety.

You seem to be ignorant of the fact that teenage births are highly risky and often lead to complications including death of mother and baby. At 12 there's almost certainly going to be huge problems.

I mean if you think that's likely to result in a normal birth I wonder if you know anything about pregnancy at all.

mental health

Funny how the more we use that phrase, and the more we purport to care about it, the less "mental health" we seem to actually achieve...

No, I don't think vacuuming fetuses out of people is the answer to our mental health woes, nor do I think we need to write laws around narrowly-defined corner cases. I mean, somehow we've all made our peace with DUI laws even though they don't contain carve-outs for drunk people trying to escape rape or incest.
