re: Can a 10 year old rape victim get an abortion? Ohio says NO

quote:

---

What monster would force a 10 year old rape victim carry out a full pregnancy?

---

What monster would find out that their 10 year old was raped and was pregnant and go “Eh, we’ll deal with this situation later on.” This hypothetical rapist should be thrown under a prison.

So should the girl’s hypothetical parents.

If this hypothetical occurred and I was asked for my advice, it would be that the fetus life be protected as long as it did not endanger the life of the mother. Be that person 10 years old of 35. Abortion is traumatizing to the person having it, just like rape. The impacts can last a lifetime in both cases.

You didn't care that the other thread was a hypothetical, so not sure why this one required prodding. Well, actually I am pretty sure of why this one required it...

quote:

---

What you made up is the part about me “not caring”. You seek to dehumanize those who have different views from yourself.

---

I said you'd be against the abortion because you don't care about the reason for it. Thanks for confirming. Just say that next time.

quote:

---

This is what was asked in the other thread. Nothing about my response had to do with what exceptions should be written into law. Because I wasn’t commenting on writing laws. A life is indeed a life.

---

I didn't say or ask anything about writing laws.

quote:

---

All law is an extension, by force, of someone’s moral standards.

---

As an interesting side note, the best of intentions sometimes yield the poorest of results.

Previously, many abortion providers declined to take appointments before 6wks EGA.

Why?
Because 80-90% of spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) occur in the 0-6wk interval, rendering induced abortion previously unnecessary.

But the OH law will force all induced abortions into that 6wk timeframe. 15-20% of those abortions will be performed on women who'd have otherwise naturally miscarried.

So ironically, this imbecilic law could unintentionally lead to an increase in abortions.

quote:

---

What monster would force a 10 year old rape victim carry out a full pregnancy? Is it even safe for a 10 year old?

---

Anyone who believes abortion is murder.

quote:

---

None. All rape victims should be able to get an abortion.

---

Who says they can't get an abortion? Again, The federal government made up a constitutional law to kill babies. SCOTUS kicked it back to the states to decide! Abortions can still be done in certain states that allow it and if its deemed medically necessary for the health of the mother and child.

You are absolutely correct. A poor woman in south Mississippi still has every right to hitchhike all the way to Illinois, if she wants an abortion.

quote:

Or just to the planned parenthood to get free birth control.

For now.

The OH “heartbeat” law was put in place a few years ago before Roe was overturned. I’m sure they believed at the time (and maybe still believe) that 6 weeks was a good compromise for allowing abortions but reducing them. A lot of states passed those bills for that reason because, at the time, they had no ability to ban them outright. Perhaps those states will now pass changes that will do away with abortion entirely. I hope so.

Reasons for the law aside, what you said about more abortions may be possible, since women won’t be waiting as long to get abortions. Recently, most abortions were performed at less than 9 weeks gestation. However, women will likely be more aware of their cycles and be tracking to symptoms of pregnancy more closely, which will result in earlier abortions.

What heartbeat bills do is declare a baby alive when a heartbeat can be detected. Doing this was meant to eliminate abortions after that period of time (great!) but may just shift those abortions to the first 6 weeks (not great). With the restrictions in place, women will seek alternatives, including traveling to other states or getting abortifacients online. It’s possible that the number of abortions in Ohio may be reduced but abortions in sanctuary states will increase.

Whatever does happen, I see the heartbeat bills as being entirely insufficient to drastically reduce abortions, which is why I favor outright bans. I appreciate the effort to reduce abortions, but allowing them at all is a problem as I see it.

But none of that speaks to the issue of abortion (at any time) due to rape.

quote:

---

Who says they can't get an abortion?

---

The following states have language in their abortion bans that does not allow an exception for Rape or Incest. Some are even enacting laws so that rape and incest victims can't cross state lines to end a pregnancy caused by someone who sexually abused/raped them.

Not to mention, the US has one of the highest mortality rates when it comes to pregnant women when compared to other developed countries.

Alabama
Arkansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Mississippi
Missouri
Oklahoma
Ohio
Tennessee
Texas


Can we also end this narrative that these babies yall want to force rape victims to have will be adopted?

There are over 110k kids available for adoption in the US right now. Where are the Pro Life people when it comes to them? Here is their chance to fulfill the promise of those signs they are waving

Has this story about the 10 year old been verified? I keep seeing plenty of pro abortionists mentioning this story as if it is certainly true
