People protest against child abuse, demanding stronger penalties for violators, in downtown Asuncion Paraguay (11 May 2015)

An 11-year old girl in Paraguay who was allegedly raped by her stepfather has given birth to a baby girl after being denied an abortion. Doctors say the girl and her baby, who was delivered by Caesarean section, are doing well. Paraguay, a predominantly Roman Catholic nation, only allows abortion when the mother's health is in danger.
Earlier this year, the health ministry said that was not so in this case and rejected a request for an abortion.

The girl, who has not been named for her own protection, was raped when she was 10 years old, officials say.

Her stepfather, who is 42, is in jail awaiting trial. He denies any wrongdoing.

His wife has been charged with negligence.
