(Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part column. Click here for the first installment.) Recently, a 10-year-old girl traveled from Ohio to Indiana.
The trip wasn’t fun for this child. She wasn’t going to camp. A victim of rape, she’d been pregnant for six weeks and three days.
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Ohio banned any abortion after six weeks, the Indianapolis Star reported.
Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist agreed to terminate the child’s pregnancy. But women, non-binary, and trans people shouldn’t count (for much longer) on getting reproductive health care in Indiana.
