Less than a month out from the overturn of Roe v. Wade, the blood is flowing. A ten-year-old girl in Ohio was raped, denied an abortion, then publicly vilified for getting one in Indiana. In Virginia, a woman with lupus was denied her medication because it could conceivably be used to end a pregnancy. A woman having a miscarriage in Texas was forced to bleed out, screaming in fear and pain, until her “fetal heartbeat” could no longer be detected. She was on a breathing machine by the time doctors were permitted to help.
