Correct. Go look at the GOP corruption thread for more. I lost track over the hundred plus pages of how many rapists and child rapists and other assorted life destroying sex crimes various Republican elected officials are guilty of. It’s disgusting and it’s clearly a serious problem in the party.

Yeah, I’m a political moderate who has voted for Republicans in the past, and I used to think that the Democrats were being pretty hypocritical about the sex assaults by Republicans because there are plenty of sex assaulter amongst the Democrats too. But the aftermath of the Roe decision has shown to me that this issue of Republican child rapists is deeply part of the party. They really, as a group, support child rape. It’s horrifying to watch.

I’m probably not going to vote Republican again in my lifetime, barring serious restructuring of the party. I can’t stomach it. Between the enthusiastic cheerleading for child rape (my God!!), the insurrection, and the blind allegiance to the gun lobby, I can’t see how I could ever vote for them.

WTF are you talking about? “Cheerleading for child rape”?? Do you even hear yourself?

What is inaccurate about that assessment and the current Republicans? They are in favor of child rape.

The more you repeat this garbage, the farther people will run from you. Please stop. No one - NO ONE - is in favor of child rape, or rape of any kind. You just sound like an utter psychopath.

No, it sounds accurate. This is what the Republicans support now. It’s upsetting you because it’s true.

JFC. Seek help. There’s no point trying to converse with disturbed people like you.

I would think the people in favor of children being raped and forced to bear the child of their rapists are the ones who need to seek help. But if you don’t see anything wrong with that, I can’t help you.

ٌYou venal pieces of crap. You seem to grasp on some level that forcing a child to continue a pregnancy is bad, to the extent that one of your mouthpieces speaking before congress literally said that an abortion for a ten year old isn’t abortion (as you have tried to say with ectopic and other life threatening pregnancies, even though the law is written such that doctors can’t give lifesaving abortions in these states).

Come off it. Your whole policy position is stupid and cruel. You know that everyone who isn’t a kool aid swilling forced birther sees that now and you are effing terrified. It’s just a matter of time before some poor 9 or 13 year old dies from pregnancy complications or some photogenic Instagram woman with three kids and 500,000 followers is murdered by your idiotic laws. You know it’s game over.

Isn’t the witness saying that the law would not prevent the 10 year old from seeking an abortion because she could be harmed?

The guy who wrote the law says the 10-year-old needs to stay pregnant and give birth.

Can I see that in a documented statement from the lawmaker who wrote the law please?

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.

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.

I'm the PP. I read further on in the story. It makes it clear that Bopp knows the law has rape/incest as an exception, but that Bopp has conflicts about that. Doesn't matter how he feels (or how anyone feels for that matter). What matters is if the girl was entitled to an abortion in Ohio given her age/circumstance and the answer is yes.

It’s pretty clear by now that the 10-year-old’s doctor, I’m sure on advice of counsel, that the answer was no, which is why she was advised to go to Indiana in the first place.

Wait abortion records are public documents in Indiana????? So anyone who terminated would be public knowledge?

Good catch! That is horrifying.

Guess what? Just like his buddy the Ohio AG, the Indiana AG is also a liar. A TV news station was able to obtain the Indiana records and they show that the doctor was telling the truth.
https://fox59.com/indiana-news/abortion-report-confirms-indiana-doctor-followed-law-after-ag-vowed-investigation/

So the chief law enforcement officers of 2 states - Ohio and Indiana - have proven themselves to be willing to lie to frame their political opponents. Interesting.

“Law and order” means the real life application of Frank Wilhoit’s adage about conservatism: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” Of course there will be zero consequences for these two lying busters (and the six lying busters on the court)! They’re lyin’ for the Lord! It’s all good!

It’s the same reason that the PP somewhere upthread’s forced birth mother didn’t consider “good” abortions to be abortions at all. In group, out group.

But if these dumb rank and file GOP women think they’re going to be protected forever, they’re official members of the Leopards Eating Faces Party.

Would you like it notarized and in triplicate?

In fact, if you go further down in this story, the law also says this:

"While Bopp’s model legislation, which was released in advance of the Supreme Court’s ruling late last month, encourages states to ban all abortions unless necessary to save the life of the pregnant person, it notes “it may be necessary in certain states to have additional exceptions, such as for a women pregnant as a result of rape or incest.”"

That seems like very informal language for a law, doesn't it?

Yes, because it's a freaking ARTICLE that summarizes the law, not the law itself.

Shame PP isn't bright enough to quote the actual text of the law.

Yes, the hospital didn't want the potential liability. The state needs to clarify to hospitals what the parameters are. On this we agree. The hospital made a bad call

The Ohio law has only two exceptions:

“to prevent a serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman”

That is it.

Yeah, I’m a political moderate who has voted for Republicans in the past, and I used to think that the Democrats were being pretty hypocritical about the sex assaults by Republicans because there are plenty of sex assaulter amongst the Democrats too. But the aftermath of the Roe decision has shown to me that this issue of Republican child rapists is deeply part of the party. They really, as a group, support child rape. It’s horrifying to watch.

I’m probably not going to vote Republican again in my lifetime, barring serious restructuring of the party. I can’t stomach it. Between the enthusiastic cheerleading for child rape (my God!!), the insurrection, and the blind allegiance to the gun lobby, I can’t see how I could ever vote for them.

WTF are you talking about? “Cheerleading for child rape”?? Do you even hear yourself?

What is inaccurate about that assessment and the current Republicans? They are in favor of child rape.

The more you repeat this garbage, the farther people will run from you. Please stop. No one - NO ONE - is in favor of child rape, or rape of any kind. You just sound like an utter psychopath.

No, it sounds accurate. This is what the Republicans support now. It’s upsetting you because it’s true.

JFC. Seek help. There’s no point trying to converse with disturbed people like you.

I would think the people in favor of children being raped and forced to bear the child of their rapists are the ones who need to seek help. But if you don’t see anything wrong with that, I can’t help you.

ٌYou venal pieces of crap. You seem to grasp on some level that forcing a child to continue a pregnancy is bad, to the extent that one of your mouthpieces speaking before congress literally said that an abortion for a ten year old isn’t abortion (as you have tried to say with ectopic and other life threatening pregnancies, even though the law is written such that doctors can’t give lifesaving abortions in these states).

Come off it. Your whole policy position is stupid and cruel. You know that everyone who isn’t a kool aid swilling forced birther sees that now and you are effing terrified. It’s just a matter of time before some poor 9 or 13 year old dies from pregnancy complications or some photogenic Instagram woman with three kids and 500,000 followers is murdered by your idiotic laws. You know it’s game over.

Isn’t the witness saying that the law would not prevent the 10 year old from seeking an abortion because she could be harmed?

The guy who wrote the law says the 10-year-old needs to stay pregnant and give birth.

Can I see that in a documented statement from the lawmaker who wrote the law please?

Would you like it notarized and in triplicate?

In fact, if you go further down in this story, the law also says this:

"While Bopp’s model legislation, which was released in advance of the Supreme Court’s ruling late last month, encourages states to ban all abortions unless necessary to save the life of the pregnant person, it notes “it may be necessary in certain states to have additional exceptions, such as for a women pregnant as a result of rape or incest.”"

That seems like very informal language for a law, doesn't it?

Yes, because it's a freaking ARTICLE that summarizes the law, not the law itself.

Shame PP isn't bright enough to quote the actual text of the law.

It's pretty long - there are a lot of exceptions. You are capable of looking it up and reading it as I did.

The Ohio law has only two exceptions:

“to prevent the death of the pregnant woman” or

“to prevent a serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman”

That is it.

+1 There’s no rape exception, or age exception, or “but she’s not a dirty whore so it doesn’t count as a REAL abortion” exception.

Wait abortion records are public documents in Indiana????? So anyone who terminated would be public knowledge?

Good catch! That is horrifying.

Guess what? Just like his buddy the Ohio AG, the Indiana AG is also a liar. A TV news station was able to obtain the Indiana records and they show that the doctor was telling the truth.
https://fox59.com/indiana-news/abortion-report-confirms-indiana-doctor-followed-law-after-ag-vowed-investigation/

So the chief law enforcement officers of 2 states - Ohio and Indiana - have proven themselves to be willing to lie to frame their political opponents. Interesting.

“Law and order” means the real life application of Frank Wilhoit’s adage about conservatism: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” Of course there will be zero consequences for these two lying busters (and the six lying busters on the court)! They’re lyin’ for the Lord! It’s all good!

It’s the same reason that the PP somewhere upthread’s forced birth mother didn’t consider “good” abortions to be abortions at all. In group, out group.

But if these dumb rank and file GOP women think they’re going to be protected forever, they’re official members of the Leopards Eating Faces Party.

The doctor's report stated the guy was 17. He was 27.

Actually, the report said the age was unknown and provided an estimated age of 17. The doctor did not lie, she acknowledged that she did not know his age and was providing a best guess based on the information she did have.

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.

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.

I'm the PP. I read further on in the story. It makes it clear that Bopp knows the law has rape/incest as an exception, but that Bopp has conflicts about that. Doesn't matter how he feels (or how anyone feels for that matter). What matters is if the girl was entitled to an abortion in Ohio given her age/circumstance and the answer is yes.

How do you figure the girl was entitled to an abortion in Ohio? What are you basing that on?

But, as an earlier poster stated, the only exceptions are:

“to prevent the death of the pregnant woman” or

“to prevent a serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman”

"Two" is not "a lot".

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.

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.

She wasn't trying to "explain" anything. She just made an assertion that was untrue because the truth is unpleasant.

She doesn’t get to redefine the term “abortion.” It is a medical term, not some loopy language full of holes.

Agreed, she doesn't. However that doesn't change the fact that in this case, the hospital was the one who make a judgment call that was not in keeping with the actual legislation. The state needs to put out a very definitive statement to all Ohio hospitals so lawyers aren't inclined to go into CYA mode.

Anne that’s what we have now. Lawyers, not doctors, deciding if abortions are medically necessary. I’m a lawyer and I can 1000% say that this should horrify you.
