Little girls living in the shadows and becoming victims to “undocumented” aliens seems to have been the problem |
Asking the legislature to qualify for them is not a court case. It’s a phone call. |
. Ask Garland. |
What was his immigration status? Curious |
From what I see of that law, there was no reason she would have been prevented from having an abortion in Ohio, given her age and risk to her life. The hospital refused, rather than clarify with legislature. The cause meaning turning away legitimate abortion cases to push the idea the state stopped it. |
Even the NYT writes articles using words like “almost” in their headlines because they know that rape is an exception. |
Your medical records (and others) will show that you’ve been diagnosed with a condition for which methotrexate has been prescribed. If a doctor is refusing, find another doctor. There’s a lot of grandstanding going on. |
What are you talking about? There is no rape exception in the Ohio law despite the governor asking for one. And sadly rape is not an “exception”. There will be at least ten reported pregnancies in girls under 13 in Ohio this year. That doesn’t include the girls whose parents find a way to get them care. It is horrifically common. |
This is not a thing, and there is no mechanism by which to do so, but nice try. |
Your fellow forced birthers disagree https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/14/anti-abotion-10-year-old-ohio-00045843 |
What an abject idiot that PP is. Do they really think doctors call the legislature? Is there some hotline? This is so cringy. |
Given the number of lawsuits out there right now asking for exactly this clarification, it’s clear that such a thing doesn’t exist. But that PP already knows it. It’s just another attempted pivot, just like the “lock up the rapist!” pivot or the “OMG ILLEGALS” pivot or my personal favorite winner of misogyny bingo “but this is her MOTHERS FAULT” pivot. The more time spent engaging on their pretend arguments the more they feel they’re distracting from the real one: Ohio makes children give birth to their rapists babies[i][u]. That’s the whole story right there and the one they want us to ignore. |
You think you can call up the legislature to get clarification on the law? Wow. Just wow. Try that out and see how that works out for you. |
There's no bigger crime than embarrassing republicans with the truth. |
Ha - I remember actually asking that question in law school. This was in our pre-1L intro session, when we were at the SUPER basic level. The professor was explaining how courts have to interpret laws to determine the legislature's intent = and I asked, why can't you just get in touch the legislature and ask them, in addition to doing all this other stuff? I was told that's just not how it's done. But it does seem reasonable to think there might be some mechanism for determining legislative intent like that, even though there isn't. |
