Or the agency to whom it was reported has not yet processed the document. |
Oh my god, you’re still debating this? It happened! It happens across the country, probably not commonly but I’d say once is way too much. It happened and your sht bag party made it worse, is making it worse for the child, her family and the doctor who probably saved her life. So instead of grasping at straws about why “nuh-uh this didn’t happen,” just go sit on the couch and cry over the fact that you’re making life miserable for women, on purpose. Just go sit down and be quiet and think. People like you changing your minds can stop the creeping fascism. |
I mean, there's a middle ground that the Republicans also refuse to acknowledge. "Life," "human," and "person" all have different meanings and different moral consequences. Even if an egg is fertilized doesn't necessarily mean it's "human life" yet. And, just because human life exists, doesn't mean it's a person. For example, an individual in a permanent vegetative state is probably still human life, but they're arguably no longer a person whose life has the same moral significance as an individual who is self-aware, can feel pain and all of that. But that's all way too complicated if the goal is to make sure the dirty, dirty whores are punished for having sex. |
Also, with respect to the reporting requirements for suspected child abuse, if the doctor performed the abortion as a staff member of the hospital, the report would not necessarily be in her name because the reporting process for hospitals is different. In addition, Indiana Code 31-33-5-3 provides that an individual is relieved of their obligation to report if, to the best of their knowledge, a report has already been made. The girl’s mother had already reported to the abuse in Ohio before going to Indiana for the abortion. If the Indiana doctor was aware of this, she would not have been under an obligation to report the suspected abuse to Indiana. Without the child abuse element, she would not have to submit a TPR report for this abortion until January 30 of next year. |
Isn’t the witness saying that the law would not prevent the 10 year old from seeking an abortion because she could be harmed? |
Slow your roll. I am firmly pro-choice, probably more extremely pro-choice than most here. I support abortion or termination of pregnancy at any time on demand for any reason. Even if this case was fully fabricated I honestly don’t care as forced birthers need to understand the consequences of their actions. I was simply pointing out that the fact that Indiana collects and reports this data is not a reason to freak out. Most states do and have for a long time. You’re right, I missed the part of the letter that stated the report may not be showing up due to a lag in the system. Mea culpa. This person should not be abusing the data exists in an attempt to punish the doctor who performed the abortion or identify the child. |
Yes, that’s what she claimed. She also claimed that the 10 year old’s abortion wouldn’t be an abortion because she’s 10 and that’s different. But that’s not the way the law was written or interpreted by the hospital lawyers, hence her having to go out of state. It’s like the forced birthers are so close to admitting the damage that forced birth does to all women and the children resulting from it, but they just want to punish women so damn badly they’ll twist themselves into these pretzels. |
The guy who wrote the law says the 10-year-old needs to stay pregnant and give birth. |
She’s trying to explain why the law would not apply to the child, i.e. it would not meet the terms of abortion defined by their law due to her age and due to rape. The hospital was in error here, and I would dare say negligent. Another in-state hospital could have made a different decision. |
Can I see that in a documented statement from the lawmaker who wrote the law please? |
How will Ohio adjudicate rape cases quick enough so that rape victims could get an abortion right away? |
|
Yup. Babies being forced to give birth to babies.
Any pro-lifers on this forum with young daughters, this could be your daughter. And many girls start their periods before the age of 10. I had enough trouble giving birth and I’m a fully grown 130 lb woman. What do you think will happen if you force a young girl to give birth or her rapist’s baby? How do you think she is going to feel about you when she is an adult? Do you think that she is going to forgive you? And don’t think that your daughters are safe because they are homeschooled and only leave the house to go to church. |
Would you like it notarized and in triplicate? |
Of course because they also want to validate the “rights” of the rapist and award him at least partial custody because, as they keep telling us, children raised without a father figure go in to buy assault rifles and commit mass murder. It’s a twisted christofascist cult. |
She wasn't trying to "explain" anything. She just made an assertion that was untrue because the truth is unpleasant. |
