https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/14/anti-abotion-10-year-old-ohio-00045843 The 10-year-old Ohio girl who crossed state lines to receive an abortion in Indiana should have carried her pregnancy to term and would be required to do so under a model law written for state legislatures considering more restrictive abortion measures, according to the general counsel for the National Right to Life. Jim Bopp, an Indiana lawyer who authored the model legislation in advance of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, told POLITICO on Thursday that his law only provides exceptions when the pregnant person’s life is in danger. “She would have had the baby, and as many women who have had babies as a result of rape, we would hope that she would understand the reason and ultimately the benefit of having the child,” Bopp said in a phone interview on Thursday. |
THERE WAS A MIDDLE GROUND! It was called Roe! Now GIP blew this up w/ zero understanding of real life consequences. Just like what would have happened if they had repealed Affordable Care Act. When will people stop voting for these people? They are wholly unqualified, unserious and increasingly untethered to reality. |
A 10-year old! Dear God these people have completely lost their minds. |
Mr. Bopp should be reported to Child Protective Services. ASAP! |
She doesn’t get to redefine the term “abortion.” It is a medical term, not some loopy language full of holes. |
exactly.. I'm a ^PP. A life is a life no matter how it was conceived. Regardless, people with common sense have been shouting that these arcane laws will hurt girls/women of rape. It was not unforseen. How stupid are these pro-birthers. Nevermind.. I already know. I have been using a 13 yr old girl who is raped as an example. This tragedy is a 10 yr old girl. These pro-birthers are idiots, much like Trump's people and their ill-conceived orders. |
There's nothing in Ohio's law that stated an age range where an abortion wouldn't in fact be an abortion.. For example, nothing in the law says that if a girl under the age of 12 gets pregnant, and ends the pregnancy, that doesn't count as an abortion so it is still allowed. Or under age 10. Or under age 14. Or under age 17. There's nowhere in Ohio's law that mentions anything at all about the age of the pregnant woman. |

Now, if they want to say that pregnancy and giving birth when you are 10 years old would be dangerous to health of the 10 year old girl....
then they should say that, and say that because it would be dangerous to her, she should be allowed to have an abortion. But then... it is also pretty dangerous for an 11 year old hirl to be pregnant and for a 12 year old girl... and for a 13 year old girl.... and actually, it is more dangerous for 14 year old girl to be pregnant and go through childbirth, than it is for her to have an abortion. And come to think of it, is is also more dangerous for girls ages 15,16 and 17 to go through childbirth than it is for them to have an abortion...... and actually, it is more dangerous for ANY woman to go through childbirth than to have an abortion. So what's the end argument, here, exactly? |
I was about to say the same, how could this atrocious statement even depart a mouth of a person with a brain or any moral ground

>> So what's the end argument, here, exactly?<<<
That dirty dirty whores deserve what they get. |
What is it with republicans and their obsession with semantics? Hawley yesterday too. JFC |
So, does this change ^PP"s mind? Probably not. Vile... forcing a 10 yr old girl to have her rapist's baby. Just vile. What kind of parent would be fine with this - forced birthers. |
At it’s deepest kernel it is always this. They would rather see a million 10 year olds split apart, than spare one whore. |
Anyone who believes life begins at conception doesn't have any arguments or enough functioning brain cells anyway. There is no way to argue with this POV, because it doesn't even consider basic biological facts. |
