“Here in Ohio, we’re doing more than ever to make sure that our youngest, most vulnerable children get the best possible start in life.'
COLUMBUS — The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
DeWine in 2019 signed one of the most restrictive anti-abortion measures in the country. It prohibits abortions after about six weeks — a point at which as many as a third of women don’t know that they’re pregnant. Earlier this month — just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for enforcement of the Ohio law — an Indianapolis doctor reported that a 10-year-old rape victim had come from Ohio for an abortion.
Other Republicans — most notably Attorney General Dave Yost — actively cast doubt on the girl’s existence, throwing out a series of flimsy arguments to support their claims. After he did, U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan took the ball and ran, calling the story about the young rape victim “another lie.“The Ohio’s Children’s Advocacy Centers in 2021 saw 6,717 sexual abuse cases with victims ranging in age from 0-18 years old.
Sadly, if a girl has intellectual or developmental disabilities, she’s even more vulnerable to sexual abuse. “Governor DeWine held a public bill signing press conference and gave extended remarks when he signed the Heartbeat Bill,” Tierney replied in an email. “He also gave a statewide address the evening of the Dobbs decision. Our office does not have additional comments beyond those extensive comments.”
