Indiana's AG is threatening criminal charges against the doctor who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old rape survivor from Ohio — an escalation in the ongoing saga that has put the midwestern state on the frontlines of the post-Roe war. (via Politico)

“It’s currently legal in Indiana to offer abortions up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. And even if it wasn’t, this is a life-endangerment situation. A 10-year-old with a still-developing body isn’t capable of delivering a baby.”

The new threat from Rokita comes as Indiana — one of a dwindling number of deep red states where abortion remains legal — is just days away from kicking off a special legislative session where lawmakers are expected to take up bills to ban abortion — with the only question being what exceptions, if any, will be permitted.

Indiana lawmakers will hold a special session on July 25 to consider bills related to inflation as well as abortion, and most expect the state’s Republican supermajority to enact a total or near-total ban on the procedure.

'threatening' like abusers do to create FEAR🎯

The sheer absurdity of it all! You want to stop abortion? Mandatory sterilization of boys at puberty. Let’s make this happen and see how quick these attention seekers change their mind.

Ohio is ass backwards and I'm ashamed to live here. When racist republican Indiana is the savior state, we're all in big trouble.

Enough of these extremist a..holes. Line them up and you can figure out the rest

Ohio is THE WORST. Simply the worst.

The Christian Taliban has taken over.

This is a good way to force medical professionals to leave the state.

Our 'Christian' Taliban in action.

Is the media going to follow up on the fact the mother is in a domestic relationship with the accused & is pregnant? She told Telemundo the media is lying about him. Was this woman aware of the abuse?The questions regarding his immigration status? Any follow up?

For the love of humanity. She is 10 years old. She suffered two times already. Now they will put her through a third ordeal. No Christian love being given from these so called Christians

This is getting ridiculous.. trying to force a 10 year old rape victim to full term is some real next level sadistic shit…

AND, here we go. A 10 year old CHILD should carry her RAPIST BABY so these religious Cult members can pretend they are Pro-Life. Not Pro-life for a woman or CHILD who very well my loose her life during pregnancy. It's a War on Women. It's the Patriarchy. VOTE THEM OUT!🗣️🗣️🗣️

BS. Abortion is still legal in Indiana. People, and that includes women for those of you who cannot seem to understand that concept, travel to other states for medical care! Why don’t you poll the state/nationality of those at the ClevelandClinic

This is simply a stunt by the AG to deflect the conversation while the state passes their own abortion ban.

If only they were working to reduce inflation and gas prices as hard as they are w/ ripping freedoms from 1/2 this country’s population. Gop doesnt care about average americans (most of ohio) - just millionaires, religious extremism and installing an authoritarian regime.

Rapists have more rights than their rape victims.

Indiana Nice: “Good afternoon! Nice to see ya! Gonna send ya to prison for helpin’ a sexually abused child!”

There is nothing like a politician pandering extremists for votes by backing what he knows is a losing position

Indiana doctor’s lawyer tells AG to halt false statementsA lawyer on Friday emailed the Indiana state’s attorney general asking him to stop spreading false or misleading information about an Indianapolis doctor who performed an abortion in June on a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio. Can you elaborate on the whole story? Would you do some investigation on why the mother has not been charged for not turning the adult man in for raping her 10 year old daughter? Or because they are all illegal immigrants do you not share those facts?

Case of 10-year-old rape victim challenges anti-abortion rights movement'If a 10-year-old with her parents made the decision not to have a baby that was a result of a rape, if a 10-year-old became pregnant as a result of rape, and it was threatening her life then that's not an abortion,' Foster told the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

It's called being pro-life. The wording in these articles are always biased. So she has to go for a car ride. Cancer patients do too. Funny you'd take the rarest occurance to manipulate your desire to go on murdering the unborn for convenience's sake and a poor lifestyle because you refuse to control your body. Rape isn't even 1% of abortion excuses. The girl was raped by a man who is likely her mother’s boyfriend and was living with them.
