The debate on abortion has taken a new life of its own in some ways. Scientifically speaking, the Pro-life movement has the winning argument. Life begins at conception.
There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Scientifically speaking, when a sperm meets an egg, the egg becomes fertilized, and therefore a brand new form of genetic code is formed. As science progresses, the viability of life outside a womb is also growing.
A majority of abortions that take place are done out of conscience. It has become a form of birth control. However, a few cases involve the life of the mother or rape or incest. But those cases are less than 1% of abortions performed.
The left’s way of debating is on the topic is bringing up a hypothetical point, such as a rape victim. Well, that hypothetical became an unfortunate reality when a 10-year-old girl was raped.
Sadly for the victim, she became pregnant and had to travel across state lines into Indiana to get an abortion.
According to the laws and Attorney General Dave Yost, the young girl would have qualified under Ohio laws.
WKSU reported:
“The new Ohio law bans abortions when fetal heart activity can be detected. That can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. But questions about whether a narrow exception in the new law could be applied in the girl’s case are not easy to answer.
Republican Attorney General Dave Yost said the ban has exceptions to say abortions can be done to save life or prevent long-term impairment of a bodily function. And in the case of the ten-year-old girl, he says she would have likely qualified.
“Without knowing anything about the medical file, or her condition or her development and without the doctor’s knowledge, you can’t really make a definitive statement about it. However, it’s very likely that a ten-year-old in this situation would have been able to been treated here in Ohio,” Yost said.”
Because of the situation in Ohio, Biden signed an Executive order on securing access to reproductive and other healthcare services. In layman’s terms, it allows Medicaid to pay for the Uber of a woman who wants to travel out of state for an abortion.
Representative Beth Van Duyne from Texas argued that Biden is acting more like a tyrant than a president.
DC Enquirer reported:
“I would say that you’ve got a president who is trying to act like a dictator and a king and trampling all over state rights and trampling all over the Supreme Court decision,” the Texas congresswoman said.
Despite your feelings on whether or not a 10-year-old rape victim should be allowed an abortion, the focus has been diverted away from the real issue here.
Gerson Fuentes, 27, was charged with the rape of the 10-year-old girl.
The Columbus Dispatch stated:
“Gerson Fuentes, 27, whose last known address was an apartment on Columbus’ Northwest Side, was arrested Tuesday after police say he confessed to raping the child on at least two occasions. He’s since been charged with rape, a felony of the first degree in Ohio.”
Fuentes is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala. If anything, the focus should be on Gerson Fuentes, a man who shouldn’t be in the USA in the first place.
