Child rape survivors face extraordinary barriers in states with abortion bans
Since fall of Roe, 14 states have passed near-total abortion bans – most with no exceptions for rape or incest survivors
Some of these stories are too horrific to dwell on. But for the victims it is a life sentence.
Trump was proud of overturning Roe.
I doubt he would comment on this.
I cannt believe that all republicans back this cruelty. That cannot be possible.
Ledbetter said she had seen a 10-year old become pregnant after her mother’s boyfriend sexually assaulted her, with the mother’s knowledge. “Her little body was unable to carry the pregnancy, and she started to have a uterine rupture before the fetus was at a viable gestation.”
The complications of preterm labor and uterine rupture necessitated a C-section to save the child’s life; the fetus did not survive. “An abortion would have saved this 10-year-old child great suffering and trauma for the rest of her life,” Ledbetter said.
