[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the posters blaming the FBI have a way for the federal government to ensure that local law enforcement believes rape reports and takes action— including even collecting the rape kits— i’m all ears.

But testing and taking action on rape kits— heck even 6 days after they’re collected— does nothing at all to protect girls from the consequences of the crime which has already taken place. A rape kit does not detect pregnancy.

So we’re back at the beginning. Why do you think these girls should have to give birth to their rapists babies? [/quote]

Even the NYT writes articles using words like “almost” in their headlines because they know that rape is an exception. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
In Ohio, she fell under this since the left agrees that 10 years old is too young and will cause bodily harm.

“Abortions beyond this threshold are legal [b]if the provider determines it's a medical emergency and necessary to prevent the pregnant person's death or "serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function[/b]."”

DP.  This is too vague.  At what point is a pregnancy considered life threatening?  For example, in situations where there's premature rupture of membranes prior to the point of viability, yet still a heartbeat, where does the doctor draw the line?  How close to septic does a woman need to be before this type of futile pregnancy is finally considered "life threatening"?
How about cases where fetal abnormalities affect the health or future fertility of the mother?  Where's that "life threatening" threshold supposed to be set?
The laws were written specifically to be vague on this.  It was absolutely intentional.[/quote]
Legislators are not doctors. The doctors determine the bolded. That’s why it’s vague[/quote]
