Split the girl
The 10-year-old Ohio girl who crossed state lines to receive an abortion in Indiana should have carried her pregnancy to term and would be required to do so under a model law written for state legislatures considering more restrictive abortion measures, according to the general counsel for the National Right to Life.
Would be forced to in other words. A female child would be forced to push out a baby: rape times a million.
Jim Bopp, an Indiana lawyer who authored the model legislation in advance of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, told POLITICO on Thursday that his law only provides exceptions when the pregnant
person’sgirl’s life is in danger.“She would have had the baby, and as many women who have had babies as a result of rape, we would hope that she would understand the reason and ultimately the benefit of having the child,” Bopp said in a phone interview on Thursday.
The reason is that some people are evil enough to think a pregnancy is worth more than the female child it’s in. Actual living breathing already here girls are worth nothing except as baby-extruders, but pregnancies are worth everything, including torturing and risking the life of a female child. Existing girl children are trash to be used, but their pregnancies are infinitely valuable.
She’s f*ing TEN! What about “when her life is in danger” don’t you get? She was raped and impregnated at ten; by definition, her life is in danger!
Hoping she would “understand the benefit of having the child.” There is NO “benefit” to a ten-year-old of “having a child.” SHE’S a child!
The cruelty is staggering.
Isn’t it? I just cannot fathom it.
Local Ohio news outlets: Pregnant 10-year-old is forced to go to Indiana for an abortion because it can’t be done in Ohio
Conservatives: This can’t be true! This story is false!
Glenn Kessler, WaPo “fact checker”: Hmm, yes, this story seems very dubious, where is the criminal charge against the rapist? (Because we all know that all rapes result in criminal prosecutions) And this doctor is an activist, because she performs abortions, unlike GOP state officials, who are objective and trustworthy.
Local Ohio news outlets: Uh, yes, it’s true, we attended the rapist’s arraignment today, where were you guys?
Kessler: Hm. Well. Nevertheless. It’s all about ethical practices in journalism.
Liberals: Excuse me, can we get back to talking about how this is exactly what forced birth assholes have spent 50 years trying to bring about? It happened, and it’s going to happen again and again and again!
Jon Turley: Oh, don’t be silly. States aren’t going to go after doctors for terminating the pregnancy of a 10-year-old
State AGs: We’re totally going after this doctor and any others.
Forced birth advocates: We’re totally banning abortions for 10-year-olds
NY Times: Today’s hot topic in the abortion debates — did Ohio journalists err in trusting the word of a doctor?
It’s been quite a week. Can’t wait for happy hour, I need a drink.
Even if a 10 year old has gone through puberty and is able to get pregnant, it is very dangerous to carry a child at that age, before the body is developed and large enough to deliver the child. She could suffer severe problems, perhaps even die.
Also, no one should have to carry a child of a rapist. It is, as Ophelia said, tantamount to her rape continuing for the rest of her life.
Also, no woman should have to carry a child she doesn’t want to carry, even if she is 35, healthy as a horse, unmarried and slept with several men, not being certain of which is the father. Even if it is her third abortion. Even if she can afford the child. Even if the child is healthy.
Right now it stinks to be a woman. (It always has to some degree, but some of the stench we washed away has come back again.)

More like “barely starting puberty” than having “gone through puberty.” A 10-year-old hasn’t “gone through puberty” unless something very unusual happened.
Well, she could have had precocious puberty. But yes, ten is early to have puberty, though I have been reading studies that suggest puberty is starting earlier, and some girls are going through it as early as ten. The studies attribute this to eating more meat; I don’t know if that causes early puberty or not.
