An Ohio state representative had sharp words for an anti-abortion advocate who made false claims about the now-infamous case of a 10-year-old from the state who had to travel to Indiana to receive an abortion after being raped because of Ohio’s near-total ban on the procedure.
During the hearings, which were focused on whether an abortion rights measure, which would add protections to the state constitution, would make it on state ballots in November, Laura Strietmann of Cincinatti Right to Life suggested that the doctor who treated the girl failed to immediately report the rape to state authorities.
