At least two more minors made pregnant by sexual assault were forced to leave Ohio to avoid having their rapists babies, according to sworn affidavits filed by abortion providers.
The affidavits were filed in Cincinnati as part of a lawsuit aimed at stopping the enforcement of Ohios strict new abortion law. Originally paused for two weeks, the enforcement delay will be extended to at least Oct. 12.
If true, the affidavits show that a 10-year-old from Columbus was not the only child or teen rape victim forced to leave the state. They also describe more than two dozen other instances in which the abortion law put women under extreme duress.
The descriptions include those of three women who threatened suicide. They also include two women with cancer who couldnt terminate their pregnancies and also couldnt get cancer treatment while they were pregnant.
Another three examples were of women whose fetuses had severe abnormalities or other conditions that made a successful pregnancy impossible. Even so, they couldnt get abortions in Ohio.

Keep in mind, that we'll only see the instances where it ended in pregnancy.
