About That 10-year-old Rape Victim
Powerlineblog ^ | July 7, 2022 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 07/07/2022 6:59:34 PM PDT by lasereye

Over the last week, we have been barraged with stories about a 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio who was unable to obtain an abortion in that state and had to cross the line into Indiana to terminate her pregnancy. If you Google “10 year old abortion Ohio,” you get 33,100,000 results. The story is everywhere, internationally.

But did it happen? It turns out that the story originated with an abortionist who is also a media figure, seemingly working full-time to promote abortion. And if a 9 or 10 year old was raped, it was a heinous crime. Where is the criminal prosecution of the rapist? There doesn’t seem to be any record of one, and in fact, no Ohio newspaper has endorsed the story.

Megan Fox has questions. You should check out the thread. Is it possible that a 10-year-old was actually raped, impregnated, and went to Indiana for an abortion? I suppose so, although 9 or 10 is awfully young. But did it actually happen? The girl’s name, if it did happen, is of course protected, but not that of the rapist. Where is the prosecution?

The alacrity with which this uncorroborated story, pushed out by an abortionist and left-wing media hound, has been uncritically adopted by news outlets around the world–as far as one can tell, without doing any investigation at all–illustrates what is wrong with today’s liberal media landscape: 5% facts, 95% narrative. If the story turns out to be true, it will be purely coincidental.

Someone is actually investigating.

I suspected a lie.

Let's find out.

So, a story goes viral and no investigation and no real sources?

Hmmm... where did we hear about something like that... some 5 - 5/1/2 years ago?

EVERY abortionist is a dead soul, so lying is second natuyre to such dead souls. There are so many suspect aspects of this story that I for one do not believe it.

Average age for fertility (menstruation) in the US is over twelve years.

I am sure it is possible for a ten year old but it must be very rare.

Wrote AG Yost about the prosecution of the rapist. Health care professionals are required to notify the authorities of such crimes.

That has been the modus operandi for the MSM for at least 25 years.

It used to be a few stories here and there. The ones they really needed to push an agenda. Now it's most stories. Even stories that don't do much to help them.

There is near zero journalism happening in the major corporate media outlets now. Just propaganda.

Sort of like all those racial hoaxes that turn out to be a leftist perpetrator. The left just has to lie, cheat, and steal. They simply cannot broker in truth.

Even if she was raped, it’s no justification to kill her unborn child. Kill her rapist instead, and provide generous help to mother and child.

Same here —I was a month shy of my 11th birthday. I remember so well because it was also the day Marilyn Monroe died.

Yep. I’m not surprised.

It’s hard to provide sources when it’s not real.

If the abortionist is the only one who knows this story, maybe the abortionist is also the pedophile rapist.

It’s no longer about reality. The once unacceptable lies are now enforceable alternatives.

As fictional as widespread coat hanger abortions. Yeah, there may have been a few but hardly anywhere near the amount that the baby-haters would have you believe.

Exactly what I was thinking. Why are leftists upset about the longer drive rather than the guy who had sex with a 10-year-old?

This story is about as true as 90% of Western media reports on Ukraine.

It’s BS. Typica leftwing fabrication-to-order. Like Hillary and Bill used to do, make up a story to fit the occasion.
