You said that the state health secretary brought up the point, not a doctor, and you said that the mother agrees, and I don't see how the mother is in a position to corroborate that. And you brought up the religious point earlier. The majority of Mexico is religious, which is most of the reason why abortion is illegal in almost all cases, and why this little girl can't have one. Nobody is going to get up and say "actually, she could have an abortion now, but we don't want her to, so we're just saying that it's too dangerous", but that doesn't mean that they aren't thinking that.

Even if she could still have one it is illegal to have one at 17+ weeks in Mexico so obviously the state health secretary will not go on and say she can. I’m just saying what I heard on the news, a very well know doctor checked her and concluded that so the state health secretary announced it to the media.
