What Biased Media Got Wrong (or Conveniently Left Out) About the 10-Year-Old Rape Victim Story: ReportBCN editor's note: Because of the victim's young age (10), Ohio law would NOT have restricted her abortion, according to Ohio AG Dave Yost. So there was no reason for her to have to travel to Indiana to terminate the pregnancy. Oh and by the way, her alleged rapist was an illegal alien from Guatemala.

If it had, they would have discovered two things: Ohio does not have a 6-week ban on abortions, and Ohio law has several exceptions for abortions in these types of extreme cases that would have covered the abused child. Ohio Republicans, including Attorney General Dave Yost, have all affirmed that this child's case would have been covered under the exception. "Ohio has a medical emergency section, broader than just the life of the mother. This young girl, if she exists and if this horrible thing actually happened to her… she did not have to leave Ohio to find treatment," Yost told Jesse Watters on Fox News' "Primetime" on July 11, one day before anyone was alerted that there was a criminal case into this situation. The Columbus Dispatch actually admitted that the Indy Star's reporting was wrong, writing, "Ohio law does not make any exceptions for rape or incest but does allow exceptions for the health of the mother. Because of the girl's age, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said the girl would have fallen under that exception"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
