A 10 -year -old rape victim had to travel from Ohio in the United States to Indiana to have a medical abortion after she was pregnant because the prohibition was almost a total of the abortion, the AFP news agency reported quoting police officials. A 27 -year -old suspect has been detained by law enforcement officers in the rape case.
This incident has turned on the debate on the prohibition of US abortion and attracted everyone’s attention on the decision of the US Supreme Court last month who attacked Roe V. Wade. President Joe Biden pointed to the incident as proof of the ‘cruel consequence’ of the court’s decision. “Just imagine being the little girl,” Bidem said, slamming the decision of the US Supreme Court. “Ten years … raped, six weeks pregnant, has been traumatized, forced to travel to other states,” the US President was quoted as saying by the Washington Post.Biden previously said that the court did not prohibit the journey of women to the state where abortion was legal, and she would do everything in her power to ensure that women’s rights to travel, to access drugs, protected contraception.
Ohio has passed the Law in 2019 which limits all abortions after six weeks, without exceptions to rape or incest. After the decision of the US Supreme Court, members of the state parliament quickly ensure that the law will apply. Apart from Ohio, 13 other US states have also passed the trigger law to prohibit abortion, in several states and even in the case of rape. This procedure is still legal in Indiana for now, however, medical service providers have warned the uncertain future.
Meanwhile, US countries governed by Democrats offer support for women who want to travel abroad for abortion. The Governor of California, Washington and Oregon on the West Coast of the US issued a ‘multi-state commitment’ together to work together to defend patients and care providers, the Associated Press reported.On June 25, the United States Supreme Court dropped Roe V Wade’s assessment that had institutionalized the protection of abortion in the country. S per decision, women in America no longer have the basic right to find abortion.
