On the recordJuly 8, 2022
Some of the states don’t allow for exceptions for rape or incest. This isn’t some imagined horror. It’s already happening. Just last week it was reported that a 10-year-old girl was a rape victim. 10 years old. Just imagine being a little girl, 10 years old. Does anyone believe that this Ohio’s majority view that that should not be able to be dealt with? Or in any other state in the nation? A 10-year-old girl should be forced to give birth to a rapist’s child. I can tell you what I know. I can’t think of anything as much more extreme.
