A 10-year-old girl was denied an abortion in Ohio after the Supreme Court ruled last week that it was overturning Roe v. Wade, demonstrating the tangible impacts that the high court’s decision is having on patients seeking access to the medical procedure.
A child abuse doctor in Ohio contacted Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Indiana, after receiving a 10-year-old patient who was six weeks and three days pregnant, the Indianapolis Star reported.
That patient is now heading west to Indiana given that an abortion ban in Ohio, which prohibits the medical procedure when fetal cardiac activity begins, around six weeks, had become effective quickly after the high court issued its decision.

Yeah, this story is shocking and shows the cruelty that will be inflicted by turning a religious, dogmatic attitude to abortion into state law. Although a ten-year-old being pregnant is exceptional, simply on account of the US having a population of 330 million, there are going to many many troubling stories like this one in the future until the recent Supreme Court decision is nulified, over-ruled or somehow negated.

If the girl has her baby, I expect there will be a doctor and medical team to deliver it for her. No-one will expect her to deliver it herself, so you can rest easy on that score Batlord.
