Well, some health care personnel decide to take the most conservative line to avoid scrutiny and stay above laws that aren't clearly written. Some health care personnel are themselves conservative and gladly rely on laws that aren't all that clearly written to justify their extremism. This is what happens when you legislate health care based on moral beliefs that not everyone shares. This will ALWAYS happen when you legislate health care based on moral beliefs that not every one shares. |

No he didn’t do his due diligence because he didn’t get the facts, and now he’s being smarmy about it. |
No, it is true that no one was able to confirm this story - that's just a fact. You can call people names and sling your insults all you want, but the FACT is that until the rapist was arrested and his name made public, there were NO verifiable facts to go on. Deal with it. |
Looks like you MAGAs made the wrong a$$umption. |
Well, you'd certainly know all about wrong assumptions. |
| I feel so bad for this poor girl. She and her family and her doctor are going to get attacked by forced birthers. Ugh. |
+1 Only people who are seriously stupid would jump to the conclusion that a respected doctor was making up this story.

The source of the story wasn't some random person. It was a practicing physician and Indiana U Medical School professor who went on the record and wouldn't lie about such a thing because she knew it was reportable. Kessler jumped on this because it gave him a chance to be on the right-wingers' side - something he rarely gets to do since they're the ones who usually lie. He and everyone else should apologize to the doctor for calling her a liar. |

Because Todd Rokita of Indiana is an odious, opportunistic piece of shit always looking for a newer and better government job. |
By this logic, a rape never happened unless there is arrest. Is that what you intend to say to the vast majority of rape victims who get no justice--that their story is bllsht unless ther rapist has been arrested? There have been many, many disgusting things to slog through since 2016, but the lengths to which people have gone to defend the hideously indefensible hellscape of what happened to this poor child is a new low. I just can't process that we have so many depraved fcks walking among us who think they are GREAT GOD-FEARING PEOPLE engaged in an epic struggle to protect the unborn. Replusive. |
Oh God. I believed the story when it first came out. Why wouldn’t I? And when the right wingers said it was a lie, I was so hoping in this case to be owned. I was absolutely happy to think that this particular case wasn’t true. And to find out that the AG was just lying through his teeth in defense of an indefensible political position? So so upsetting. Magas - I wanted you to be right and suspended my disbelief to figure you might have known what you were talking about. But it’s all part of the grift. That poor poor child. Victimized once by the rapist, a second time by the State of Ohio, and a third time by the ugly right wing mob. |
