Child abuse victim, 10, who was six weeks pregnant is forced to travel from Ohio to Indiana for an abortion after home state outlaws it under Roe v Wade ruling
Daily Mail UK ^ | July 1, 2022 | Vanessa Serna

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.

There’s strong possibility they’re leaving out that the father and impregnated ‘child’ are illegal aliens since this is far more prevalent in that demographic.

Odd they aren’t interested in arresting and prosecuting the pedophile rapist.

It’s from the Daily Mail UK. Why is no other outlet reporting it? According to the story, a “child abuse doctor” called the OB/GYN to inquire about the situation. She didn’t meet the kid or see her records AFAIK, so she likely doesn’t exist. This is pry just a PR exercise by NARAL to rile up abortion supporters.

I just wonder where in the physician directory one would find a “child abuse doctor” because I’ve never seen one. 🤣

So, long story short, rape victim still has access to abortion.

So a baby is less human if he or she is conceived in rape or incest. And the innocent baby gets a death penalty while the rapist or incestuous person does not?

Got it.

“That’s anywhere from 1.5 to 4 percent of abortion seekers. It’s a straw man argument.”

No. It is a direct argument that is generally unfavorable about most all abortions, but can see the possibiity for strict exceptions only in cases of rape and incest. There is nothing “straw man” about it. There is nothing asking abortion to be open for any other reason, and it is not suggesting abortion “should be” used in cases of rape or incest, only that I would permit them as strict exceptions on the choice of the female.

I would think there are exceptions for life of the mother, and I would imagine a 10 year old would qualify. I can’t imagine the toll on her body.

I’m sure reasonable legislatures will come up with reasonable exceptions in a short time.

The story seems a tad on the nose.
I guess it could be true but since rape/incest pregnancy make up less than 1% of abortions it hardly seems like something to change the laws of a state over. What’s next? outlaw going outside when its raining because someone MIGHT be hit by lighting?

These dead soul abortion promoters are exploiting a ten year old for their cause, not her health. The isn't a good physician anywhere who would not have pace the pregnancy as less than exactly six weeks and three days. These devils have no shame, they will exploit any human for their agenda.

I spent thirty plus years dealing with Physicians. I know of what I speak. These devils are evil! Good Physicians treat their patients, they do not exploit them for an agenda.

Search shows lots of outlets have it. Oddly, it also turned up this story about a pregnant 11 year old from 2019, after Ohio passed their abortion restrictions. Seems like they save these cases for political gain.

Prepare for the daily onslaught of these stories. And if they can’t find them they will simply fabricate them.

No. I am not saying that. I am only saying I understand the extreme difficulty of the female in that position. It is still abortion, but like capital punishment in criminal offenses, it is an exception for “murder” we might make. Yes, it is horrible choice the female will have to live with, and G-d willing will come to peace and forgiveness with G-d over the rest of her life. But at the time, I can understand how the trauma of the female can lead her to that choice. We can pray that G-d will rescue the unborn child at the end of this age, and in time rescue the mother as well.

So 63,000,000 isn’t enough!

We need to just keep on murdering babies AND close to home.

These people are SICK!

Oh the outrage. Bla bla bla.

Typical MSM bullshit.

What does this account for? .001% of all abortions?

The MSM has it's own reality that it wants to sell folks, and when things do not fit their narrative, they censor, spin it, or use some rare exception and pretend it's a rule (i.e. a 10 year old with her abortion or the school shootings they like to latch onto)...

https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/pubs/psrh/full/3711005.pdf

1% of abortions are for rape.

What percent of that do you think is 10 year old's?

Wanna bet my crazy sounding and pulled straight from my ass statistic mentioned earlier of .001% isn't that far off?

What do you call it when people are trying to make an argument using the .001% exception?
