A hint, at least?

3. So why did the hospital refuse to provide services?

He's a total fascist and woman hating liar.

8. Despite the law, the hospital may have been afraid of criminal charges. Or it's a Catholic hospital

4. Fuck all those woman hating knuckle draggers

I can’t believe my state keeps electing these disgusting troglodytes

5. This bit from the article

"The World Health Organization has estimated that childbirth and complications from pregnancy are the world’s leading cause of death for girls and women ages 15 to 19."
Is horrifying.

Either Yost was kept in the dark by CPD & Franklin County Soc Services & the local prosecutors or Yost was lying on the fox show. Now he is trying to save his political ass.

7. Because what 10 year old DOESN'T want to start a lengthy legal case

to fight for her right to an abortion after she has been raped and impregnated?

All the kids prefer to do that rather than just driving a few hours and having the fucking medical care they need.
