Aborters kept mum on disabled girl's incest rape

And you wonder why pro life people are so indignant that aborters happily abort girls who are under age and/or disabled and refuse to report such obvious crimes, returning the victims to the men who exploited them and brought them in for abortions.

And yep, her own father raped her.

A MELBOURNE abortion specialist was one of several health professionals who did not report the rape of a severely intellectually disabled woman when the perpetrator was insisting on the termination of her pregnancy, a tribunal has heard.

Dr Patricia Moore, an expert called into review the case of a late-term abortion performed without legal consent, yesterday expressed shock that so many people who assessed the woman's pregnancy did not act on the fact she had been raped.

"There was obviously evidence of sexual abuse that was not investigated by many people before the final episode," she said. "I started to wonder if a special procedure had not been performed if any of the professionals would have addressed the issue of sexual assault."

It is alleged Dr Schulberg performed the termination at 25 weeks without gaining legal consent through the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, a legal requirement for an adult who is intellectually disabled.

It is alleged he did not contact police about pregnancy when he should have known she was incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse.

The woman's father, who helped organise the abortion, was convicted of the rape this year and sentenced to a minimum of seven years' jail.

The board heard the woman's father met at least one other doctor and social workers to discuss the termination of her pregnancy before he met Dr Schulberg at his Croydon clinic.

None of the health professionals took any action to find out who had raped the woman, despite some of them acknowledging that she was unable to consent to sexual intercourse, the board heard.
