DP. No, there isn’t. Information about child victims of sex crimes is protected to the hilt to avoid inflicting further harm on the victim. No information about the case, even the fact of its existence, would be available to the public unless her parents decided to share it. |
It wouldn’t. Forced birthers are dumb sheep and need to be led away from the actual issue, so they throw out unrelated stuff to confuse them. |
How will you verify it without violating her privacy? |
The DA would be able to confirm it happened. There are NO reports. In order for this doctor to be truthful, there would have to be a mandatory reporting prior. There is no evidence anywhere it happened. DA was quite clear about that |
By saying it's an investigation into sexual abuse/rape/assault of a minor based on mandated report by her physician, and we are not disclosing any more detail? |
The DA has confirmed no reports have been filed and no investigation has been opened. We have only the word of this one doctor, who happens to be an activist. For those who don’t like that about her, it doesn’t matter. It’s her past |
But the information about this case has already been made available to the public through the doctor claims. She put it out there. You don't need to disclose anything identifying details about the minor to say that a mandated report has been made to the prosecutor's office and they've opened an investigation. |
Not true. The DA could easily state that this happened without breaking any laws. Given parents are often implicated in cases like this, I don’t think they have much say |
| So what I’m taking from this discussion is that forced birthers justify their draconian views on abortion by telling themselves that minors never get pregnant due to rape/incest and therefore there is no need for exceptions to abortion bans to protect them. If that’s incorrect, please explain how you reconcile your views with the repeated efforts in this discussion to deny that the fact pattern could have occurred. |
Sad. We are saying that THIS particular case is a lie. And by lying, this doctor has done a ton of damage |
And how would you feel if the case were real? After all, these kinds of pregnancies do happen. Do you believe that when it does happen, the victim should have access to abortion without having to splash her name and story all over the media to satisfy your desire for lurid details and confirmation that the 10 year old wasn’t just a little whore whom didn’t bother to use birth control? |
No, you pretty much nailed it. And let’s be honest. We’ve all seen enough of the GOP/forced birther rape culture to know that if this girl had been outed under even slightly different circumstances, they would have defaulted to “she knew what she was getting into” or “she was asking for it,” same as they ever do. The fact is that stories like this will become more likely, only as more states declare women to be non-people, the abortions won’t be obtained and we won’t hear about most of them. Just more misery in the world. |
Maybe the “pro-lifers” will put her on one of those lists they make of OB Gyns they don’t like. |
| I'm pretty sure they would want the child to marry her rapist and give the rapist custody rights over the child he raped and the child he conceived. |
We are talking about THIS CASE in particular which, as time goes on, looks more and more like a lie. There are so many red flags here.... not to mention.... that Ohio does not have a "6 week ban" on abortions. They have a heartbeat law. The left is losing credibility by trotting out fake stories to garner outrage. I just hope the activist doctor who started this whole thing is held accountable. |
