The victim gave birth to a baby boy who weighed 1.2 lbs at just 23 weeks, with doctors unsure if the child will even survive.

An 11-year-old Argentinian girl who was allegedly raped by her grandmother's boyfriend gave birth to a baby boy this past week, despite women's rights organizations calling for the government to grant her an abortion, which is illegal in the country under most circumstances.

According to the Daily Mail, the preteen, identified as Lucia (which is not her real name), gave birth on Wednesday, February 27, via C-section at the Eva Perón Hospital in the northwest province of Tucumán. The newborn, who was born at just 23 weeks and weighed only 1.3 lbs, was placed in an incubator, and doctors are said to be unsure if he will survive.
