On some bru-ha-ha about a developmentally disabled deaf woman who was raped and impregnated. Apparently Jeb Bush was trying to appoint a guardian for the fetus...http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/06/02/florida.fetus.guardian/index.html

Forget about the disabled Mother, who has the mental capacity of a four year old.

I agree with you. I now realize I misread the article in my haste. There were two cases up before the courts: one for a deaf, developmentally disabled woman with a mind of a 4 year old, and then this one was developmentally disabled 22 year old with the mind of a 1 year old. Both raped.

I can't imagine how the guardian would decide what these women with the mind of children would do. I mean, if you had a one year old daughter, what decision could she make?

What is sad is that they let it go this far. These women should have been appointed a guardian right away, they shouldn't have had to wait 6 months to make a decision.
