She testified in front of Congress earlier this year, so our elected representatives seem to care what she thinks.

The war on women is real and Trumper’s thank you so much did this horrific issue. Ugh

You can thank the left for getting Trump elected in the first place.
Stop pushing identity politics, de facto open borders, and stop reverse discrimination and erasing definition of male and female, and you will have the moderates and independents on board. Normal people do not want 9 and 10 year olds forced to carry pregnancy to term.
As long as we aren’t quite in Handmaid’s Tale, the wealthy will always have options.
I’ve plenty of money and my kids are dual citizens in country where they would be able to access abortion freely.
I would do anything to prevent my 10 year old daughter having to carry pregnancy to term.
These people are monsters.

WTF is ‘reverse’ discrimination??
Racist!

+1 She’s been given a platform to spout this vile nonsense. She is a leader of the anti-abortion movement in Texas, a member of an anti-abortion physicians group. So yes, there are many on the right, in the anti-abortion movement who care what this kooky lady thinks about abortion, and who have offered her as their spokesperson.

If you’re saying a 9 year old body is designed to go through pregnancy and then labor and delivery, you’re saying it’s not dangerous, it’s ok, it’s fine to not allow the pregnancy to be terminated. Stop trying to justify what she is saying: a 9 year old rape victim should be forced to bear her rapist’s child rather than be given an abortion. That is her position. Do you deny it?

She is actually saying something which is not based in medical science. Young girls are at much higher risk of several pregnancy complications. She is basically saying the opposite. If you can get pregnant, pregnancy doesn't carry significant risk (i.e. your body is ready to have a baby). This is not consistent with our best understanding of human physiology.

You an OB? She is…..

So you think making 9 year olds give birth is a defensible idea.

That’s not what she said at all. Try to comprehend what you read.

So me stating my car could go 150 is really me saying it’s not dangerous, it’s ok, it’s fine to drive 150 according to you.

Are you a leader of a car speeding group that is pushing for making speeding legal? If so, then yes. I would interpret your remarks, made in defense of laws to permit speeding, to mean it’s fine to speed.

She said a 9 year old could safely go through pregnancy, l&d, and she said this as a way to justify not allowing a pregnant 9 year old to have an abortion. Do you agree with her?

Yep, where there are laws for this nonsense, it will be open season for pedos and such. This country is a banana republic. There are so very few laws protecting children, especially little girls.

I have no idea if a 9 year old can safely go through a pregnancy, as I am not a Dr. She did not say she would "make a 9 year old give birth" as quoted above. If you want to debate something, you can't make up what someone said, and debate it like they said it.
You are all worked up over something made up, not something a person actually said.

Sure. That’s a lofty and worthwhile goal. But you will never obviate the need for abortion because you will never make rape and child abuse disappear completely. So there will always be a need for plan B.

On average, how many 9 year olds get pregant each year in Texas? 12 year olds? 15 year olds? Where do we draw the line? I know DCUM believes anyone under the age of 45 that gives birth is a "teen mom" but realistically, what is the age where "so young" isn't the argument for pro abortion advocates?

She absolutely supports making a pregnant 9 year old go to term. She absolutely supports banning pregnant children from getting abortions. Prove us wrong.

Anti-abortionists are getting bolder about declaring their extreme positions.

I know of what I speak: my southern great grandma gave birth at 13 and was married the year before that. Almost every generation has a girl who gets pregnant by 15, and then most of her descendants live in poverty. Those poor girls will just think it's "normal" and then their daughters will have babies by 14 too.

No, it's not okay to allow any child to suffer because of their parents politics. What a horrible lack of morality.

I don't have to "prove you wrong" as it is your statement, and in the title of the thread, therefore it is upon you to prove it, not assume it, The quote in the OP is

Dr. Ingrid Skop, an obstetrician in San Antonio who belongs to the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said that even a girl as young as 9 or 10, impregnated by a father or a brother, could carry a baby to term without health risks.

“If she is developed enough to be menstruating and become pregnant, and reached sexual maturity, she can safely give birth to a baby,” Dr. Skop said.

Show me where that says she supports "making a 9 year old go to term" You wont find it. All it says is someone that young "could" carry a baby to term without health risks. You are assuming she means something else and getting offended by it, thats on you.
