Indiana Attorney General: we’re collecting evidence and investigating the doctor who gave health care to a 10-year-old rape victim

Has anyone seen a citation to a specific section of Ohio law on which the Right is relying to assert that it would have been legal to perform an abortion on a 10-year-old?

I’m not seeing it.

2. This is what birthing a baby does to a ten year child.

The greatest danger, however, is to the pelvic floor. The pelvis does not fully widen until the late teens, meaning that young girls may not be able to push the baby through the birth canal.

The results are horrific, said Wall and Thomas, who have both worked in Africa treating women in the aftermath of such labors. Girls may labor for days; many die. Their babies often don't survive labor either.

The women and girls who do survive often develop fistulas, which are holes between the vaginal wall and the rectum or bladder. When the baby's head pushes down and gets stuck, it can cut portions of the mother's soft tissue between its skull and her pelvic bones. As a result, the tissue dies, and a hole forms. Feces and urine then leak through the hole and out of the vagina. Women with fistulas are often divorced and shunned. And young girls are at higher risk.

"The younger you are, the more trauma will occur, because the pelvic floor isn't developed enough," Thomas said.

To understand the implications, you have to study undeveloped nations with poverty impacted populations. The new model for a GOP ruled USA.
Sounds like state sponsored torture to make a child go through this.
