Not even if we're 10 years-old

A man is in custody after a 10-year-old girl in Ohio was raped, became pregnant and sought an abortion. The mind revolts at this horror.

In America after the end of Roe v. Wade, one brave source, on the record, is often the best we are going to get. Countless other stories will never be told.

After President Joe Biden mentioned the case of a 10-year-old girl who was raped in Ohio then forced to travel to Indiana to have a medical abortion due to the state’s extreme abortrion access laws, right-wing media spent days casting doubt on the story and claiming it was false. On July 13, it was reported that an arrest has been made in connection to the case, and the alleged rapist, Gershon Fuentes, confessed to the crime. The story was initially published by the Indianapolis Star on July 1 and quoted Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an obstetrician-gynecologist, who provided care for the girl. But it picked up steam after Biden mentioned it in his speech on July 8 and, the following day, The Washington Post’s “fact checker” Glenn Kessler wrote an article casting doubt on whether the case was real or properly verified. Right-wing media — especially Murdoch media outlets in the U.S. — went all-in trying to discredit the report. The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, One America News Network’s Kara McKinney, and Turning Point USA’s Benny Johnson questioned whether the victim even exists, while other right-wing personalities attacked Bernard. Many also relied on Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s July 11 appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, during which he said there was “not a whisper” of the story and denied there was a rape kit or any ongoing DNA analysis regarding the case.
