How the story of a 10yo rape victim in Ohio forced to travel interstate for a legal abortion highlighted America's post-Roe divide

ABC  

It was a story that started in a local newspaper and quickly made its way to the White House: a 10-year-old rape victim had been forced to travel interstate for an abortion just days after Roe v Wade was overturned because of the law change in her home state. United States Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade Photo shows A crowd of people carrying placards protest The US Supreme Court overturns Roe versus Wade, the decision which recognised Americans' constitutional right to abortion. Under Ohio's so-called "heartbeat law" that was implemented shortly after Roe v Wade was overturned, a pregnant person can only access an abortion within the first six weeks of pregnancy, or until a fetal heartbeat is detected, with no exceptions for cases of rape and incest. US hospitals 'must' provide abortion if mother's life is at risk, says Biden administration Photo shows Abortion-rights protesters outside the Supreme Court building. The detective testified at the initial court appearance that Columbus police learned about the girl's pregnancy through a referral by Franklin County Children Services that was made by her mother on June 22, and had an abortion in Indiana on June 30 — six days after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v Wade.
