In the center of it all: a 10-year-old rape victim, identity unknown, suddenly thrown into a political fight on one of the country's most contentious issues.
NEW YORK — It took only four paragraphs in a regional newspaper to ignite a media conflagration over abortion that in two weeks engulfed President Joe Biden, the partisan press and some of the country's top news organizations.
"A 10-year-old should be forced to give birth to a rapist's child?" Biden asked."I can't think of anything more extreme." "This is a very difficult story to check," Kessler wrote."Bernard is on the record, but obtaining documents or other confirmation is all but impossible without details that would identify the locality where the rape occurred."
Bernard reported a June 30 medication abortion for a 10-year-old patient to the state health department on July 2, within the three-day requirement set in state law for a girl younger than 16, according to the report obtained by The Indianapolis Star and WXIN-TV of Indianapolis. Under the headline"Correcting the Record on a Rape Case" Thursday, the Journal wrote that"it appears President Biden was accurate."
