Abcarian: What kind of monsters would force a child to have a baby?

An abortion rights protester wears a costume based on “The Handmaid’s Tale” outside the Supreme Court on Oct. 4. On Friday, President Biden invoked the story when he slammed the Supreme Court for its bogus rationale in overturning Roe vs. Wade and announced he would order the Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services to do everything in their power to protect access to abortion care, contraception and emergency care when a pregnancy endangers a mother’s health. “It’s already happening.” With mounting anger, he said, “Imagine being that little girl.. A 10-year-old girl should be forced to give birth to a rapist’s child?” Yes, Mr. President, that is exactly what the Supreme Court’s conservative majority has unleashed. Both were people who were denied a wanted abortion and later went on to give birth.” Ralph, who researches adolescents and their decision-making around pregnancy and childbirth, said the study also found that women who wanted but were unable to obtain abortions reported being in poorer health after childbirth than women who received abortions. “What we’re talking about here in the context of overturning Roe vs. Wade is really forcing parenthood on a young person,” Ralph said.
