The nearest abortion clinic – in Chicago – was too far away and too expensive for her mother to provide her with the procedure

      Wouldn’t they like to marry the girl to her rapist, because sex outside of marriage is a sin or something?

        Not in a monogamous society. Rapists don’t want to get tied down to only a single child wife. Also, there’s no dowry in our society for the rapist to take the burden of raising the girl off the parents’ hands.
