Luckily law in Indiana still allowed abortion to be legal for women pregnant for over six weeks, enabling the abortion of the 10-year-old minor. Her rapist has confessed to his crime and is awaiting his trial.

10-Year-Old Girl Abortion In Indiana
News of a 10-year-old girl going to Indiana for an abortion broke out on the media a few days ago. She traveled to Indiana, where the abortion procedure was still legal.
After the court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, it became illegal for more-than-six-week pregnant women to have an abortion. The law was met with a negative reaction and jeers all over the United States.
However, Indiana remained a state which still had not passed the bill to criminalize abortion. So the little girl had to travel to Indiana from Ohio in order to complete the procedure. The news gained widespread popularity and calls for the incarceration of the rapist and the right to abort an unwanted child were raised.
Women from all across the United States began to travel to Indiana for abortion. The clinics in the state of Indiana reported a massive spike in the number of patients coming in for an abortion.
Luckily, the 10-year-old girl was able to successfully get rid of the unwanted fetus in her body due to a rape. She got an abortion and her accused rapist has now pleaded guilty to the rape charge. Justice has been served. His court hearing is scheduled for July 2022.
Who Is Caitlin Bernard?
Caitlin Bernard is an Indianapolis OB-GYM doctor who was the one to relay the story of the little girl for the first time. She told that the child was six weeks, and three days pregnant, making it too late for her to receive abortion care under Ohio’s restrictive abortion law.
The law to ban abortion of more than six weeks pregnant by the Supreme Court was met with negative reactions all over the United State. In the wake of the decision, when the girl came for an abortion, she was denied by Ohio law. So, Dr. Caitlin Bernard suggested her mother take her to Indiana, where it was still legal for abortion of over six weeks pregnant women.
Now, after the arrest of the Columbus man on the charge of raping the 10-year-old child, and the girl’s successful abortion, justice feels served. Gershon Fuentes has already pleaded guilty and is set to know his sentence on July 22, 2022, in court.
