1. No such ban is in play if you are speaking about the Supreme Court rescinding Roe vs way. It simply gives each state back the power to set thier own regulations or laws.
2. Straw man argument. 10 isn’t likely fertile, if there are examples of such thing, then it’s probably super rare, but it’s probably not about that, the rape or incest argument means nothing if the next stament isn’t “but only then,”. Meaning using that as a excuse fir open unrestricted termination means it not about that,
3. Even most religions will put the mothers health first, if it’s a 10yr old the likelihood that she could safely Cary such to term is not likely and so it’s a medical decision not a choice of convenience.
4. The other outlier arguments of grape ir incest, is debatable as to ethics, but it’s not the babies fault. There is a opposite straw man argument that has occurred. I know of two female teachers that raped male students. One was 13, and the other 14. Both teachers where convicted of statutory rape, or sexual interference of a minor. (Rape) these 2 women became pregnant from thier pedophelia and kept the babies. Should those kids not have a say about weather they, as victims of rape, be allowed to force the abortion on thier rapists? Is rape babies only bad if the female is the victim?
Furthermore, both of these women waited until their victims turned 18 ans sued for child support and WON! Now both these examples are straw men arguments but flip the sexes. If a male teacher has impregnated a child student, and because it’s not the babies fault they keep the baby. Should the fathers be aloud visitation rights! Partial custody? Move it away from it being minors, say a teacher impregnated a 18 yr old student by force, if she keeps it should he get visitation rights?
Or is the argument not that it was a female minor but how it was conceived? If it’s because of the fact that the baby is a result of statutory rape then it’s irrelevant who was the minor victim, a boy or a girl. Both should be treated the same. If not, I has nothing to do with age so the 10 yr old example is Bs

Obviously horrible, as a parent I would go to another country if needed. Whatever is needed to get my daughter the help she needs.
As for proving rape: She's 10, she is unable to give consent, so that's easy to prove.
Not that big a deal. You have to go somewhere, whether blocks or miles. Just travel a little further to a state that allows it. Since she is not legally competent to consent, it is easy to prove rape when the girl is 10 years old because all it takes is DNA evidence
So much ignorance in these answers.

This is paranoia and propaganda. There's no national ban on abortions in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled "States' Rights", not "No Abortion". There's a difference. These are the current abortion laws in some of the more liberal states in the United States:
Massachusetts currently allows abortions into the 24th week.
New York currently allows abortions into the 24th week.
California currently allows abortions up to between the 24th and 26th week.
Illinois currently allows abortions up to between the 24th and 28th week.
Oregon currently allows abortions beyond the 27 week (see below).
New Jersey currently has NO LIMIT on abortions (see below).

While in this rare in horrible case, And every single state she would be allowed to get an abortion because 10--year-olds can’t get birth without being put at risk of death with few exceptions like Catholics everyone agrees flight is at risk you have the right to an abortion, the ten year old who was raped life was at Risk because ten years can’t give birth without there life being at serious risk.
in normal rape cases yeah the woman should be forced to carry the child to term because how do we know that she’s not making up a rape case just to get an abortion? I understand it’s a hard pill to swallow I understand that a grave injustice has been done and the rapist should be physically castrated or killed. But because women are humans and humans lie I can’t trust that a women who willingly has sex with a Radom guy and then claims rape because she got pregnant isn’t lying about being raped. Obviously if she comes for the night she is raped and he’s happily traumatized and they can get DNA evidence right off the bat that’s a different story but unfortunately you can’t claim rape when you figure out that you’re a month pregnant just to get an abortion because know that you’re not lying.
(it’s like I’m cleaning about the English language we need to start using the word you in contacts like this I’m not accusing you of anything but it’s a word we use for people in general we need to go back to using the word one)
I sincerely doubt that this 10yo would be forced to carry the foetus to term as her body would not be able to do it, and she would be able to get an abortion under the conditions that are currently in place. the headlines by CBS are sensationalist. an abortion would be covered by Public funding in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest.
In Ohio, the following restrictions on abortion were in effect as of June 28, 2022:
A patient must receive state-directed counseling that includes information designed to discourage the patient from having an abortion, and then wait 24 hours before the procedure is provided. Counseling must be provided in person and must take place before the waiting period begins, thereby necessitating two trips to the facility.
Health plans offered in the state’s health exchange under the Affordable Care Act can only cover abortion in cases of life endangerment, or in cases of rape or incest.
Abortion is covered in insurance policies for public employees only in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest.
Medication abortion must be provided using the FDA protocol.
The parent of a minor must consent before an abortion is provided.
Public funding is available for abortion only in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest.
Most patients will undergo an ultrasound before obtaining an abortion, since the provider must test for a fetal heartbeat. The patient will be offered the option to view the image.
Abortion is banned at six weeks of pregnancy, except in cases of life endangerment or severely compromised physical health.
The state prohibits abortions performed in response to genetic anomaly.
The state requires abortion clinics to meet unnecessary and burdensome standards related to their physical plant, equipment and staffing.Yeah it’s fairly shocking.
This article pretty much some it up and just how fucking pathetic some people are both in the US and on here.

I think that no one ever asks the victim what they want when they are trying to push their agenda. Funny how that works when they USE a young rape victim to get what they want instead of what the child wants. Just like no one cares about all of the children being raped and dragged in to have forced abortions by their rapists to cover up and throw away evidence. Leaving the children to be raped for many more years. But, no. A baby is the problem. Not the actual rape, rapists, and enablers. Not everyone re-victimizing the children over and over. A young girl killed herself in my state over people treating her exactly like this. I went through it as well and became incredibly suicidal. I've never met a child rape victim who would have wanted their baby killed. Most would not have.
Turns out, it was the mother's boyfriend, an illegal. The abortion had nothing to do with the health of the girl. It had everything to do with the mother trying to cover up the boyfriend's crime, so the girl could continue to live in a dangerous situation, and the boyfriend could skirt justice.
The baby and the girl should both live. The baby daddy should get the electric chair, and the mother who aided and abetted a criminal alien invader rapist should get to stay in prison until she's mummified into the walls, to continue serving her sentence even after death.
A standard practice for hospitals is that a rape victim is given access to emergency contraceptives such as plan B. But things can get complicated when they are dealing with a minor. Because parents would have the last say. Everything gets even more complicated when you dig into the history of the back and forth on giving rape victims access to something such as plain be. Due to various conflicts between various elected officials, religious groups and other groups over rape victims to emergency contraceptives like plan b.
Do your self a favor and do some research on a given topic rather then watch main stream media news. Because you end up getting half or less then half of a story, a lot of biased and mainstream media on both sides are quick to leave things out if it will paint their side in a bad light.
The world that American Republicans wants us to live in is fucking horrific. That is what I think of a 10 year old rape victim who they want to not only give birth but also "feel grateful for" as the author of the bill in question puts it. Yeah, apparently this is a good thing in Conservative America. Fucking revolting...
Rape is a terrible crime, but it's not the babies fault so it should not need to die because of the actions of a rapist.
Also, girls who have abortions usually suffer from guilt and emotional distress as a result, a young rape victim should certainly not have to suffer this additional trauma. Adoption may be a sensible option in this instance.
Of course, your question is not suggesting that millions of healthy babies should be legally killed because of the 0.3 percent of abortions that are the result of rape, is it?
Horrendous and a possibly she will die during childbirth as her body is not developed enough for pushing a baby out unless they plan on a c section which also carries a risk more so a young kid.
If she dies during childbirth her family should sue the state she's born in for every penny
You can actually tell men had a say in this law.It's what republicans have spent the last 4 decades fantasizing about: any man able to choose the mother of their child by stalking and raping them. It's sad how entirely far right disinformation has caused civility to fail these people but they aren't going to realize their mistake until after they have hurt a lot of people- assuming far right disinformation even tells them about it.
that's the problem with the restrictive laws, there's always exception cases. can't legistlate this morality, can't tell someone else what to do with their life. turns into a bunch of exception issues, if/then logic
they should back off the law in oh-io.
So the story was proven to be real... sort of. She was 100% allowed to get an abortion in her own state, but it got politicized for political reasons. Don't eat up their bullshit. I don't care where you want to lean politically, that media is a full-powered lie machine on crack.
I think a dead pig should be surgically inserted into the rapist as punishment, see how he likes to carry about something for 9 months.
Punishment for rapists is not nearly severe enough, it needs to be a 1000 folder stronger than it is now... and damn any cruel and unusual punishment clauses, rapist gives a life long sentence and worse to the victim, better off they killed them.
In this case no way a 10 year can consent to it is obviously rape, no doubt about it.
The young child rape victim was able to get an abortion in a neighboring state. Rape needn't be proven since no 10 year old can give consent. Her cretin idiot mother allowed the rapist access to her daughter. This girl needs much TLC in a loving adoptive family. DNA will prove the identity of the sperm donor.
Abortion is still morally and legally wrong. She should have the child ask her parents to help her raise the child so she can focus on school and life after a traumatic experience. Abortion is and never will stop being wrong and the man who raped her just terrible. I don't know why men rape 10 year olds like that. It's so messed up.
This is reminding me of how a couple of years ago a news network pushing a specific political agenda would make a whole segment on some guy who hsd every illness known to man on his deathbed and they would say "it's because he didn't wear a mask and caught covid" it was BS then and this is some BS now I don't even need to see the full story to know that a pregnant 10 year old rape victim woulda gotten a legal abortion
"Rape is also extremely difficult to prove except there is a camera."
Are you implying this 10 yo consented to sex with the 20-something man unless we have video evidence she didn't?
Republicans denied it happened and then denied they said anything. Now they're trying to shift the blame to illegal immigration.
This is the dark reality that conservatives have created for America, because of some stupid religious beliefs about a "soul".
The fact she got pregnant at 10 years old shows God intended the age of consent to be a lot younger than our present legal framework allows.
By the way, the guy who raped her, if it wasn't consent, should be hanged.
The Bible says if nobody heard her scream for help, then it was consent.
