Ohio :
A 10 years old girl, six weeks and three days pregnant, an abuse victim, denied abortion in Ohio.
That’s Ohio, in the good old USA.
That's good old political hackery and media manipulation.
The Ohio Ban allows for abortions in cases where the mother's health would be severely impacted and at risk. There is no question or doubt that a 10-year-old's health would be severely at risk. This is them trying to use this girl for a political statement.
Is it not a fact that the pregnant 10 year old girl has been denied abortion in Ohio? You arguing “political statement” is not helping that 10 year old, and Ohio remains complicit in subjecting the 10 year old to severe risks.
No, it is not a fact. At least not according to your article or any other article that I've seen about it. The FACT is that the abortion ban does allow abortions in cases where the health of the mother is at risk. The fact is that a 10-year-old's health would be at significant risk. All this required was having a physician sign off on the risk to the mother. There is no doubt that just about any OBGYN in Ohio would have signed off on the pregnancy being a hazard to the child.
Ohio is not complicit in subjecting this girl to risks, the "Abuse Doctor" (they never state whether it's a physician) and the media is complicit in using this poor little girl to drive a narrative.

Sounds to me like the referring physician punted the problem pregnancy, and then someone went public for political reasons.
If a ten year-old delivers, I think that would be the youngest ever in the U.S.

@jon-nyc I read an article a few days ago that indicates a surprising number of abortions occur after child 1 was born…
I can see that use case also.
I’m thinking more about the girl who had the abortion in college or grad school and goes on the have kids in her 30s.
It’s not just a use case, it’s the majority.

Certainly the modal case in my social class was as I describe. But whatever the numbers might be, the point is that it is incorrect to assume X fewer abortions will add X kids to the population in the medium term.
Often times it just swaps an unwanted pregnancy for a later, desired one.

Now you have more GOP elected officials saying that an under-12 young girl who became impregnated from rape would not be allowed to voluntarily terminate their pregnancies:
Among those named are Asa Hutchinson (Gov. Arkansas), Philip Gunn (Speaker of the House in Mississippi), Kristi Noem (Gov. South Dakota).

“[E]very single life — every single life is precious,” Noem said. “This tragedy is horrific. I can’t even imagine. I have never had anybody in my family or myself gone through anything like this. I can’t even imagine. But, in South Dakota, the law today is that the abortions are illegal, except to save the life of the mother.”
The governor added, “What I would say is, I don’t believe a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy.”
Circling back to our recent coverage, if nothing else, there’s an unmistakable consistency to such a position: Terminating an unwanted pregnancy is wrong, the argument goes, regardless of circumstances. If that means the government will force raped 10-year-old children to proceed with unwanted pregnancies, so be it.
The question for the rest of the public is whether to vote for policymakers who espouse such a position.
Yeah, that's how that works.

Asa is dead meat in Arkansas.

Not obviously true.
Bro what the hell are you doing even entertaining this. This is like 5 Duning-Kruger incompetency curves, all in constructive interference with one another, creating the mythical idiocy superwave. Rare, fleeting, almost too powerful to believe.
Perhaps the only reason you’re here is because your mom did decide to abort your older sibling.
Nah, very unlikely. Not likely due to age, and anyway, by accounts, it didn't happen.
Lots of people abort a pregnancy when young and go on to have kids when they’re older. In many cases they wouldn’t have the later kid(s) if they had had the earlier one(s).
True.
Also common for adoptees to have younger half-siblings they never learn about.
I didn’t mean literally you. I meant simply to point out that aborting X pregnancies doesn’t result in X fewer people on net.
There is also a sterility factor after abortions, as well as a significantly greater susceptibility to miscarriage, which does result in fewer people.

There seem to be some questions as to whether there really is a pregnant 10-Year-Old in Ohio.
Interesting...

If this turns out to be false, what are the consequences?
-
Shouldn't be that way.
With the way the internet and media now work, stories are not vetted and travel through the public at the speed of light. To make a mistake is bad, but to intentionally plant a false story should be criminal.

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.

We saw over 100,000 outpatients/year for decades, ED and clinics. Our OB/GYN clinic ran between 20k - 24k of that number.
In 34 years, I saw one pregnant 11 year-old, but I can't remember if she could have been pregnant at 10. BTW, she also had syphilis...Her mom was a crackhead hooker and daughter was working in the family business.

Maybe it's one of those alternative facts that are all the rage nowadays?

Kinda hard to find an alternative fact on this one.
