[Guest guest]

i think that is a very good reply.

I think the removing her breasts because it " might " prevent sexual abuse

irked me because its getting close to that that whole thing about how women

shouldnt wear short skirts etc etc etc....

Hell, why dont we go remove ALL Intellectual disabled womens breasts then!

Belinda,

First of, you and are entitled to your opinion.

However, according to the family's own words (from their blog), preventing

sexual abuse was not the main reason her breasts were removed. Their decision

to remove her breasts was more because there is a family history of

large-breasted women and they felt that her wheel-chair straps across large

breasts would be uncomfortable. They also felt given her mental status, the

body of a 9 year old girl was more dignified for her vs. a full grown women.

I'm not saying that I agree with what they did or that I would make the same

choice if I were in their situation. I just think if a person is going to

criticize that family's choice, then it should be done based on having all of

the facts.
