Kinda hard to find an alternative fact on this one.

@LuFins-Dad said in Roe & Casey overturned.:
There seem to be some questions as to whether there really is a pregnant 10-Year-Old in Ohio.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_youngest_birth_mothers#10_years_old
According to Wiki, a 10 year old pregnancy is unusual. Since 1835, there have been 101 reported cases. About 30 of them in the United States. It wouldn't be a surprise, of course, if there were more.
So, in the last 190 years, there have been 30 reported cases in the US of a 10 year old pregnancy, and this one pops up within a month after Roe is overturned.

Now, add on the fact that the mysterious “abuse doctor” did not report the case to the police as required by law and has not come forward themselves with the claim AND this particular abortionist in the Indiana has been interviewed for years by national media (why would the NYT interview a small town OBGYN in 2017 about Trump’s policies regarding abortion?) and last month was predicting this same bizarre scenario in an article before the official ruling? Add remember, even with the Ohio ban, all they need is an OBGYN to state verify that carrying the child presents an a elevated health risk to the girl. Even I could tell you that! And I’m not a biologist (though I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express)

President Biden is planning to outline additional steps aimed at bolstering abortion rights on Friday morning, two weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, as many Democrats have called on him to respond with bolder and more urgent action.
Biden, joined by Vice President Harris, plans to deliver a speech from the Roosevelt Room at the White House on his efforts to protect access to reproductive health-care services.
He is also planning to sign an executive order that, according to a statement released late Thursday by the White House, will attempt to safeguard access to abortion medication and emergency contraception, protect patient privacy and bolster legal options for those seeking access to such services.
The order directs Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to submit a report within 30 days that would address many of those items. Becerra is also charged with finding ways to increase public outreach so that those seeking reproductive health-care services, including abortion, know how to access them.In a nod to some of the legal battles that could come, Biden is also directing the attorney general and the White House counsel to convene private pro bono attorneys, bar associations, and public interest organizations to encourage legal representation for those seeking or offering reproductive health services.
“Such representation could include protecting the right to travel out of state to seek medical care,” according to the White House statement.
Legal assistance has been a chief concern among some abortion rights advocates. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.) urged the Biden administration on Thursday to “pull out all the stops,” point out legal obstacles that could prevent Michigan residents from seeking services in Canada or from bringing medication back from across the border. -

Yep, with all the problems this country has - inflation, energy production, healthcare, lack of affordable cars, infrastructure, housing prices, China, Russia - THIS issue deserves his full attention.

If we ever have a group of mothers in this country who would have aborted if it were legal, we should make a note to poll them, some years down the line, about whether they wish they'd been able to abort. I guess you could also ask the kid, but that wouldn't be fair.

OK, so his 'bold response' is to order a report that tell him how to do this. End of quote. Repeat this line.

It's horseshit and mirrors. Much of the actual stuff concerns PHI and making sure the government keeps close watch on sale of information such as names, addresses, etc.
Joe? That's already illegal. It's that HIPPO law, Joe. You like hippos, don't you? Want one for Christmas?

How about a Fact-check instead of a fact sheet?
WaPo states the 10 year old rape story is extremely difficult to corroborate and points out a couple of potential flaws with the story…

Here’s Jon Stewart and a group of True Believers opining on the ruling.
Link to videoBasically it’s projection about the court having an ideology and working towards a ruling from there. No reflection that that might be what Roe V Wade was.

What to do now?
Stop killing babies.
An apology wouldn't go amiss.

One of the more interesting comments about the ruling is that the basic difference between the "two wings" of SCOTUS is that one wing judges on what the law should be, whereas the other one judges on what the law actually is.
Perhaps an overly simplistic view, but it got my attention.

Up to the legislature to write the law. That ain't the court's job.

OK, so, let's assume that congress passes a law codifying the "right" to abortion.
Would the current 6-3 character of the court overturn that law? My guess is that they wouldn't.

There's a fine line between writing and interpreting.
I would think that how a law is interpreted by the SCOTUS would be thought by some to almost amount to writing it, or rewriting it. -

I don’t think you’ll find anywhere in the Roe overturn ruling, any reasoning that could be used to overturn a new law guaranteeing access to abortions.
