On Monday, Ohio AG Dave Yost publicly questioned the existence of a 10-year-old rape victim who had left the state for an abortion. Yost took a different tack Wednesday after police announced the arrest of a Columbus man accused of impregnating her
“My heart aches for the pain suffered by this young child,” said a statement from Yost. “I am grateful for the diligent work of the Columbus Police Department in securing a confession and getting a rapist off the street. Justice must be served and BCI stands ready to support law enforcement across Ohio putting these criminals behind bars.
Crossman noted that Ohio’s new ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy doesn’t exempt minors or victims of rape or incest. He also called on Yost to “immediately apologize to this young girl, her family and all Ohioans and start working to roll back this harmful policy that helped make a terrible tragedy even worse.”
Yost also said that the state’s abortion restrictions include an exemption for medical emergencies, broader than to save the mother’s life, that could have been used in the 10-year-old’s case and allowed her to obtain an abortion in Ohio. He said abortions are allowed if there is a substantial likelihood “that a major bodily function will be permanently impaired” by carrying a pregnancy to term.
