At least two more minors made pregnant by sexual assault were forced to leave Ohio to avoid having their rapists’ babies, according to sworn affidavits filed by abortion providers.

The affidavits were filed in Cincinnati as part of a lawsuit aimed at stopping enforcement of Ohio’s strict new abortion law, which it temporarily did last week. Originally paused for two weeks, on Tuesday the enforcement delay was extended to at least Oct. 14.

If true, the affidavits show that a Columbus 10-year-old was not the only child or teen rape victim forced to leave the state. They also describe more than two dozen other instances in which the abortion law put women under extreme duress.

The descriptions include those of three women who threatened suicide. They also include two women with cancer who couldn’t terminate their pregnancies and also couldn’t get cancer treatment while they were pregnant.

Another three examples were of women whose fetuses had severe abnormalities or other conditions that made a successful pregnancy impossible. Even so, they couldn’t get abortions in Ohio.

It's not easy to grasp that this is now the national norm for one of our major parties.

11. I want the power to make medical decisions for legislators

Who cares that I lack any medical training. My God tells me what they should be allowed, and I'm right.

'The gov't should not be in the business of forcing eight or ten year old girls to give birth.'

That was from another poster but I cannot find it again.

A good comeback. It gives the anti-choicers/forced birthers a chance to verify their beliefs.
