I'm sure this was all a one-time thing and will NEVER happen again

* 10 year old girl gets pregnant and Republicans deny it happened

* Oops it happened! And now Republicans want to prosecute the doctor who provided the girl an abortion because she didn't notify authorities. Oops! She went by the book.

So just a month into our post-Roe political landscape and it is already a minefield? Nah, don't believe those liberal lies. I'm sure it will never happen to you, your daughter, your sister, your partner, etc.

You'll never be called a liar and a hoax on national TV.

You'll never have your medical information leaked out to the world.

You'll never be in legal danger if you performed the abortion or helped perform the abortion.

All just a fluke. This will never happen ever again. Sure.

Sure.

Of course they were both women so you have to expect that.

There were 52 reports of a girl age 15 or younger being pregnant in Ohio last year. It's not outside the realm of possibility that this is an undercount. Still, that means that on average, one girl turns up pregnant in Ohio every week. This will continue to be an issue, and we need to tie it firmly around the pencil-necks of these alleged "pro life" fuckers, because whether they admit it or not, this is what they want to happen, because it's inevitable and they have made no provision for it.

The system has failed this 10-year-old girl. More tests of the system will follow.
