Indiana's AG is threatening criminal charges against the doctor who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old rape survivor from Ohio — an escalation in the ongoing saga that has put the midwestern state on the frontlines of the post-Roe war. (via Politico)
“It’s currently legal in Indiana to offer abortions up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. And even if it wasn’t, this is a life-endangerment situation. A 10-year-old with a still-developing body isn’t capable of delivering a baby.”
The new threat from Rokita comes as Indiana — one of a dwindling number of deep red states where abortion remains legal — is just days away from kicking off a special legislative session where lawmakers are expected to take up bills to ban abortion — with the only question being what exceptions, if any, will be permitted.
Indiana lawmakers will hold a special session on July 25 to consider bills related to inflation as well as abortion, and most expect the state’s Republican supermajority to enact a total or near-total ban on the procedure.
