The story of a pregnant 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio who had to travel to Indiana to get an abortion just keeps getting more and more awful, as if "pregnant 10-year-old rape victim" weren't all the horror anyone needed to consider.

The story was initially reported July 1 by the Indianapolis Star as part of a larger story on patients traveling to Indiana to get abortion care because it was now illegal in their home states:

Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist, took a call from a colleague, a child abuse doctor in Ohio.

Hours after the Supreme Court action, the Buckeye state had outlawed any abortion after six weeks. Now this doctor had a 10-year-old patient in the office who was six weeks and three days pregnant.

Could Bernard help?

Not surprisingly, the story quickly went viral as an example of what is going to happen in a lot of states whose abortion bans have no exceptions for rape or incest. That's precisely the goal of the abortion bans: Every fetus is sacred, even those carried by little girls who've been raped.

The Cruelty Is Always The Point

Shortly after the story broke, South Dakota GOP Gov. Kristi Noem tried to avoid answering questions on CNN's "State of the Union" about her state's similar ban, saying the real outrage is that a sicko raped a little girl and could we please talk about that terrible sick rapist instead of how the little girl would have to carry that pregnancy to term if she lived in South Dakota and couldn't get to another state? Ultimately, though, Noem conceded that abortion is illegal except when a pregnant patient's life is at risk, and that's thatthe

1. That child's life was at risk, end of story..n/t

2. Women are now livestock, and little girls are miniature livestock

Do they not even realize how sick this sounds, to demand a 10 year old give birth?

3. "God's punishment for their out of control hormones"

Or something like that

4. But, where's the medical proof of that?

It's an important issue. These laws are horribly crafted.

Imagine you're a Dr. being asked to perform an abortion in these circumstances. 10 year old children HAVE given birth without dying. Are you going to risk your license and your liberty hoping these christofascists are going to agree with you that THIS 10 year old's life would medically be at risk?

These laws are intended to not only personally deprive you of the right to abortion, but to take the opportunity away by getting rid of medical personnel who can perform them.
