Man arrested in rape of 10-year-old US girl that led to abortion

Al Jazeera  

A man has been charged with raping a 10-year-old Ohio girl whose case was questioned as dubious by some Republicans. A man from the US state has been charged with raping a 10-year-old girl whose case drew national attention following a doctor’s comments that the child had to travel to Indiana for an abortion, an account that had led some prominent Republicans — including Ohio’s attorney general and a congressman — to suggest it was fabricated. President Joe Biden highlighted the case last week criticising the US Supreme Court decision eliminating a nationwide right to abortion. A statewide ban on abortions in Ohio after the sixth week of pregnancy – before many women are aware they are pregnant – went into effect just hours after the Supreme Court’s June 24 ruling that struck down Roe v Wade, the 1973 decision that had established a constitutional right to abortion. An Indianapolis physician who provides abortion services, Dr Caitlin Bernard, had told The Indianapolis Star that an abortion had been provided for such a child because the girl could not get the procedure in Ohio under a newly imposed state ban on abortions at the first detectable “fetal heartbeat”.
