Child abuse victim, 10, who was six weeks pregnant travels from Ohio to Indiana for abortion

Child abuse victim, 10, who was six weeks pregnant is forced to travel from Ohio to Indiana for an abortion after home state outlaws it under Roe v Wade ruling

A child abuse victim, 10, travels out of state to get an abortion after her home state of Ohio barred the procedure following the Roe v. Wade ruling
Ohio enforced a six week ban on abortion following the overturn of the 1973 landmark Supreme Court case
The child was six weeks and three days pregnant, making her ineligible to get an abortion in Ohio
Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an OBGYN, assisted the minor after she traveled to Indiana for the procedure
Bernard has seen an increase of women coming from out of state to receive an abortion as restrictions in neighboring states are strongly enforced

Dr. Katie McHugh, an OBGYN in Indiana, has witnessed 'an insane amount of requests' from women in Ohio and Kentucky seeking an abortion.

McHugh said she receives between five to eight patients per day that come from out of state with some clinics assisting about 20 women per day.

I would say what I feel should happen to this douchebag but I'd probably get banned for it, so I won't.

AND I think whoever rapes a 10 year old should become a EUNUCH by court order.

I think, "If you misuse it, you lose it philosophy is enough."

THEN because he doesn't have that body part, if he abuses anyone they can't pretend it's "just" rape.

The fact that the act of rape is enough of an act of violence that it should be prosecuted severely but often is seen as a less than crime is infuriating.

I can see your points.

If the perp is to not be a permanent burden on society, usually needs hands to work.

A person who is completely out of control and not able to be rehabilitated at all, yeah, nose might do it.

If offender is at all able to refrain, maybe a tattoo on face. Makes US more civilized and still identifies.

IN the case that someone could be rehabilitated and shows themselves able to refrain over an extended period of time, possible removal and can live life after serving time and changing behaviors.

And the "pro-lifers" are fine with that.

Not to mention the trauma that it would cause a 10 year old to carry ANY pregnancy to term, let alone one caused by her uncle raping her. And then, even if she manages to survive the birth, she gets to relive the worst day of her short life every single day. Oh, and let's not forget the fact that the "pro-lifers" will then turn around and deny her access to any financial assistance to help raise this child AND medical care that she AND the baby will MOST DEFINITELY need, probably for the rest of their lives, because, you know, she should have thought of that BEFORE she decided to get raped by her uncle.

Just think of all the horrible permutations, most of which are not only possible, but LIKELY in this case, and just know that the "pro-lifers" don't care about ANY of them. They're just worried about pleasing the invisible man in the sky, who only wants babies born and nothing more. These "pro-lifers" make me physically ill.
