A crowd of religious protesters attempted to storm a hospital in Brazil to stop a ten-year-old girl undergoing an abortion after she was 'raped by her uncle.'   

The young girl, from Sao Mateus in Espirito Santo, had reportedly been rushed to hospital after complaining of abdominal pains.

She was told she was pregnant, and confessed to medical staff that her uncle had allegedly been raping her since the age of six. The child added she had never reported him to authorities as he had threatened her, Brazilian news website G1 reported.
