A 10-year-old child abuse victim was forced to seek an abortion in Indiana after her home state of Ohio barred abortion following the Supreme Court decision to overturn of Roe v. Wade.
A child abuse doctor in Ohio sought the help of Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist, on Monday to help the girl get an abortion after the state banned the procedure after six weeks - hours after the 6-3 Supreme Court vote, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
The child was six weeks and three days pregnant - therefore, ineligible by just three days to receive the procedure in her home state.
Abortion advocates in the state attempted to halt Ohio's six-week abortion ban, but the effort was denied by a judge on Friday.
As of Friday, Indiana's only abortion restriction is a law requiring clinics to ask women if their abortion is coerced - which is illegal, Fox 59 reported.
The law went into effect on July 1 and more restrictions might pass in the state following The Indiana General Assembly hearing on July 25.
'It's hard to imagine that in just a few short weeks we will have no ability to provide that care,' Bernard told The Columbus Dispatch.
Until then, abortion providers in Indiana say they have noticed the impact of the overturn of Roe, claiming they have seen an increase of patients coming from out of state to receive the procedure, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
The Women's Med, an Indiana abortion clinic that also has a center in Ohio, has received patients in need of an operation from their Ohio clinic.
Dr. Katie McHugh, an OBGYN in Indiana, has witnessed 'an insane amount of requests' from women in Ohio and Kentucky seeking an abortion.

So what’s your excuse, Vanessa?
Servant of Moloch Vanessa Serna weighs in...
I’ll chip in for the matches and help pour the tar. Rock-paper-scissors for who lights the match.
Yep.
There will always be these bad situations that need to review on by-case basis. Tofu stories to rile up the left will be normal.
The crime committed against her does not somehow make abortion “right”.
Remember these same people are against executing murderers because to them, the crime of murder doesn’t make executing the murderer, right.
Heavy on allegations, light on verifiable facts.
Expect a lot more of this.
Isn’t killing a child a form of child abuse?
I’m wondering if she was really 10 years old.
So why did they wait?
For dramatic effect?
The decision was telegraphed weeks ago...but they missed it by just that much.
More abuse, sounds like...
Bingo.
Yes! Arrest the man.
And, cases like that are extremally rare.
The leftist media try to make a rule out of extremely rare exception. Standard leftist strategy!
The left likes to suggest that these cases happen on daily basis, so Roe was dealing with similar situations mostly.
Kind of like we are to be believed that every day hundreds of schools are attacked and so we need to take away guns from all people!
The truth is that almost all abortions are just killing babies for the convenience and stopping that practice is what the pro-life movement is all about!.
Really? Who is the rapist? Prove it. What are the charges? The media has zero credibility.
I will be flamed but I am not opposed to the horrible “remedy” of abortion, if the female so choses, in cases of incest and rape. G-d will still care for the aborted child, and the female has the opportunity in life to ask G-d and her unborn child for forgiveness.
Leftist manufactured twaddle.
Leftist manufactured twaddle.
Nevermind what else happened, it’s the trip to Indiana that’s too much!
This is unbelievable. But then, so is this Crazy Jane group attacking places where women can have children instead of aborting them.
That’s anywhere from 1.5 to 4 percent of abortion seekers. It’s a straw man argument.
