Activist tale of a 10-year-old rape victim's abortion looks like a lie
And thank goodness for that.
[NYPOST] "Not a whisper." That was Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, saying that his search for a notorious child rape case in his state had turned up nothing.

That is odd given the vast coverage by the media, and even condemnation of the president of the United States, of the supposed case of a 10-year-old girl raped and impregnated in Ohio and forced to seek an child sacrifice abortion in Indiana.

What is even stranger than the utter lack of confirmation of the story is the utter lack of interest in confirming it — or in the welfare of the child herself. We have little proof that the story is true despite some significant legal and factual questions.

The story of the child rape united the nation in revulsion, but also became the rallying point for the denunciation of the Supreme Court, including in comments by President Biden. In his White House address, Biden cried that this child "was forced to have to travel out of the state to Indiana to seek to terminate the pregnancy and maybe save her life. Ten years old — 10 years old! — raped, six weeks pregnant, already traumatized, was forced to travel to another state."

The president used the story to attack the Supreme Court and ask, "What century are they in?"

The media also exhaustively covered the story. It was written up everywhere from Israel to Bangladesh. On MSNBC, Joy Reid declared, "It is hard to imagine anything more cruel, more disturbing than forcing a child, a 10-year-old still playing with fidget toys and tablets, to carry her father or her brother’s child to term or forcing her to travel across state lines for an child sacrifice abortion. And yet, here we are."

#1 Republican Ohio AG claims ‘not a whisper’ was heard about the 10-year-old rape victim who left the state to get an abortion and says there's no 'biological evidence' to say it ever really happened

#2 ...The response to this - at least in my conversations so far - has been to say that the situation may have been so bad that the doctor decided that their duty to the patient outweighed their duty to the law.

This is usually followed by a great deal of screaming on their part.

#3 ..except given the age of the 'victim' its a crime without consent and destroying the DNA evidence is crime.

#4 In the end, the doctor should get audited to determine whether she complied with mandatory reporting laws - which she probably doesn’t. This may lead to an avalanche of audits.

#5 I can't wait until lefties start talking about "an Underground Railroad for abortions" and offend blacks even further.

#9 And all the "big name" con-servatives on Twitter who boosted the hoax angle are pretending they had nothing to do with it and suddenly saying "Oh. Look!"

They do the conservative cause no favors with their "Look at meeeeeee" blathering.

#10 So much wrong with this story and so much coming out. One thing is for certain: it was not at all necessary for victim to travel out of state for an abortion per Ohio law. This IS the lie that cannot be explained away. The abortionist is a major suspect in this case and could implicate PP in coverups of many under age abortions.

#11 The real story here is that Family and Child Services tried to cover up a rape, but failed because a leftist wanted to use ut to score political points.

Lots of social worker drones deserve prison time for trying to cover it up, and everyone else who ignored mandatory reporting laws needs to go with them.

And the left needs to figure out if they think rape is a bad thing or not. It's weaponized to go after middle-class men in college, but apparently they're cool with it happening to children.
