Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost just said that his office has no evidence of a raped ten-year-old child who was impregnated, including a request for lab results. He also noted that Ohio law would have allowed for an abortion in such a case.

...The Washington Post recently reported that it could not confirm the story attributed to Dr. Caitlan Barnard who has refused to speak with the media seeking to confirm the story, including the Post.

...There should be a police report in Ohio because a doctor is required to report such a rape. In such a case, Yost's office would be involved through any lab testing that would be to be done to confirm DNA evidence. Yost says there is no such submission.

...What is curious is that Dr. Caitlan Barnard did television interviews on the rape case on MSNBC. Yet, she has not been willing to confirm that she notified police about a child rapist or any of the facts in the case, including why it was legally necessary to go to Indiana.

...Ohio allows for abortion not only to protect the life of the mother but also "to prevent a serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman."
