Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

This is beyond terrible…

A man in Jordan is reported to have been
charged with murdering his teenage daughter after he cut an unborn baby
he had fathered from her body.

The man confessed to raping his 19-year-old daughter for five years, judicial sources told the Jordan Times.

Police said the man, who has not been identified, handed himself in to police in the Zarqa region on Sunday.

The charges have shocked Jordanian officials who told reporters they had never seen anything like it.

In his testimony to police in the region north-east
of Amman, the 46-year-old man said after he discovered that his
daughter was pregnant with his child, he took a carpet-cutter and cut
her open with it.

He then removed thefoetus and threw it away, reports said.

"The 19-year-old woman died on Sunday morning of
severe internal bleeding after her father performed an abortion to get
rid of a five-month-old foetus to hide his crime," a police spokesman
told the Agence France Presse news agency.

He stitched up the wound, but he could not stop her bleeding and she died soon after.

crazy but all I kept thinking about when I was reading this horrific story  was if they were here, he probably could have taken his daughter to Planned Parenthood, no questions asked. Makes you wonder how many victims of rape and incest get covered up in our country…
