I think it would be impossible to procecute a rape case on any of the men, although she was clearly raped.
However that's why I said any investigation should be on the home and the parents.
To me, if nothing bad happens to the lady and her baby during the pregnancy and delivery, then the baby should be allowed to live. The baby can always be put up for adoption if the family is not able to keep it.
God bless you and the family always!!!

I think questions need asked.
Was this a faluire of the home? Or was she placed in an a facility that was never intended for someone of her limited capacity. If her parents knew she was leaving the home and what was happening when she did, and they didn't act to stop it, then they are as guilty as the men who took advantage of their daughter, IMO.
I am just thinking about those who want kids of their own, but they are not able to have any.Yes, but you probably think that babies are generally good things. You have to understand that there are people in the world who think that babies are almost never good things.To me, if nothing bad happens to the lady and her baby during the pregnancy and delivery, then the baby should be allowed to live. The baby can always be put up for adoption if the family is not able to keep it.

CARSON CITY, Nev. A Nevada state judge says he has the authority to order an abortion for a pregnant 32-year-old mentally disabled woman, even against the will of her Catholic adoptive parents.
Washoe County District Court Judge Egan Walker didn't make a decision, but asked the Nevada Supreme Court on Monday to let him go ahead with hearings as early as Tuesday to collect medical evidence about the woman's case.
The Las Vegas Sun reports that Walker called it "illogical and contrary to law" to prevent him from gathering evidence to determine if an abortion should be performed.
In a case being watched by national anti-abortion organizations, the woman's parents want the state high court to stop the proceedings.

Should a judge be able to rule in this manner? Is it overstepping his bounds?
CaféAuLait;6286771 said:Here is an article which tells more about her condition:
The lawyer said the woman was adopted along with several siblings from Costa Rica. She suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome, along with several other maladies. She reportedly has an IQ of 42. The woman was living in a Reno group home when she wandered away and became pregnant 13 weeks ago. The child's father has not been identified and it remains unknown whether the pregnancy was the result of rape or consensual sex.
The couple acknowledges that the pregnancy poses health risks to their daughter and the baby, but they say medical experts back them in their decision to continue the pregnancy, Guinasso said.

Just because she can't raise a child is not a valid reason to force someone to have a medical procedure against the will of their guardians.
Her parents have no right to force their religious beliefs upon their daughter. Take away the right to argue in favor of their religion and see what argument they have.
The state is currently her guardians, however I think precedent will prove him wrong if he chooses to rule in favor of an abortion.
Having read about the case, I doubt he will choose to abort.

I would like to know where you got "the state is currently her guardians" from that article, since it stated quite clearly that HER PARENTS are her legal guardians.
I posted the article where they mention the issue of guardianship in this thread.
IMO, the group home and the woman's parents should be investigated for neglect. As long as the woman's doctor believes the pregnancy isn't putting her life at risk, she should be able to continue it, because her parents want that, and when the child is born her parents can make the decision to either keep it themselves or put it up for adoption.
The woman was clearly raped. Repeatedly. Children cant consent to sex, and neither can a woman with the mind of a child. The woman's opinion on having an abortion or not should also not be in question, as she can't make those choices either.
Lol! A busybody?
The parents said their daughter often left the home to prostitute herself at a local truck stop. You cant say, her parents are her guardians and then absolve them of any culpability if they knew what was happening and did nothing.
If I knew my child was being raped at school and I do nothing, am I guiltless because it happened when she wasn't with me?
Where did I say they were guilty?
I don't necessarily think a judge asking questions and looking into whether carrying to term is healthy for this woman, means there is a movement to force termination.
