Looks like these politicians picked the wrong hill to die on.
Horrific story. Sickening
If I’m not mistaken, the girl could have had the abortion in Ohio under the current law.
Also, this was an illegal immigrant who shouldn’t have even been here in the first place.
Sad all around.
What did Indiana do? Go after the dr
In the weeks leading up to the arrest, prominent right-wing pundits and government officials attempted to discredit the story as a liberal pro-abortion fantasy. Prominent media outlets, both fringe and mainstream, jumped at the emerging narrative. After President Joe Biden alluded to the case in a speech last Friday, The Wall Street Journal called the story “fanciful” under the headline “An Abortion Story Too Good to Confirm.”
Now that the man allegedly responsible for the assault has been arrested and provided law enforcement with a confession, many who intentionally threw dirt on the veracity of the story are attempting to pivot public attention away from their own mistake by focusing on Fuentes’ alleged undocumented status, and vilifying the doctor who provided potentially life saving treatment to a child in a horrific situation.
Well, it is sad that if this criminal was never in the US this would have never happened. So that is reasonable to mention.
But yeah not a good look for those politicians.
Objectively, this is a bad situation all around.
You are mistaken. The Ohio abortion ban has no exceptions for rape.
Just read the law, you are correct.
As a pro-life person I can admit this case makes me sick.
However, I don’t like the extreme outliers to make a point on how abortion should be allowed
California allows abortion in the third trimester. How many future Americans never got a chance at life because of those laws?
I agree this doesn’t represent an argument for general pro-choice laws. It represents a need to not be so draconian about the bans though.
I don’t think this is generally true. California doesn’t allow elective abortions once a fetus is viable, which is generally at 23-24 weeks (well before the end of the 2nd trimester). It is still possible after that if the life of the mother is in danger. I could be wrong if you know more?
What a story.
She did defend him…which was really gross. How fucked up
The vast majority of perophilia, rape, etc is in the family. It’s such a shame.
It’s usually not the creepy guy/girl we see on the street.
It’s usually the step parent, uncle or cousin that has access.
