Any pregnancy occurring before the age of 15 is seen as very risky and should be closely monitored by OB-Gyn specialists, the draft order mentioned.

The act follows a recent case involving an 11-year-old Romanian girl. The girl, victim of a rape, had to have the abortion at Saint King’s hospital in London.
