They’re attacking a 10-year old. A rape-survivor TEN YEAR OLD.
Rokita (and everyone who smeared this case on Fox News) is going to that special hell.
The rapist is an illegal immigrant from Central America.
Apparently the mother of the 10 year-old was ok with the rapist according to interviews.
So a ten year old had sex with a 27 year old with the mother’s blessing.
Rokita is a political hack.
Caitlin Bernard should sue Todd Rokita for a whole, whole lot of money and I hope she wins. Rokita is either using his position to grandstand to sucker Hoosier voters into voting for him or he’s so incompetent he should be disbarred.
Either outcome is unacceptable for an elected official. Rokita should be impeached.
Also, apparently for all his legal smarts, apparently Jim Bopp didn’t pay attention to how things played out for Richard Mourdock.
Bernard admitted she killed the 6 week gestation, so not sure how she is on the moral high ground in any of this.
The mother of the 10 year old sounds like a real piece of work too, apparently condoning the 27 year old illegal immigrant having sex with her daughter.
That Todd Rokita made an abortion doctor look good should give pause to Rokita’s supporters.
Not that Caitlin Bernard isn’t using the situation to grandstand, right, Joe and Charles?
She said it was necessary “to save the girl’s life.” If that is true (and I’m not saying it wasn’t), then the abortion could have been performed in Ohio, in that Ohio’s law has provision for those circumstances. In that case, there would have been no need for her to come to Indiana…other than her “handlers” wanted it that way to make the National Stage.
But that wouldn’t have garnered the National Media’s pro-abortion furor so desperately sought by the evilest of pro-aborts among us, attention they so desperately crave after Roe vs. Wade was overturned on legal grounds.
If you’re going to accuse Todd Rokita of taking advantage of the situation, look in the mirror for an equal example.
Excellent points. This seems like an example where an abortion may have indeed been necessary, since most 10 year olds are not large enough to carry a child to term through their not fully developed birth canal. While it’s possible that a C-section could have been achievable (and would have almost certainly been less invasive to the body), it’s not reasonable to expect a 10-year-old rape victim (even if the mother was complete scumbag trash herself) to carry a child to term. Of course, it’s also unusual that a 10-year-old is ovulating, but less unusual in 2022 than it was a century ago.
Most likely the child’s mother AND the illegal immigrant rapist should be doing hard prison time.
Bob, the Ohio law does not provide the carve out you claim it does per their own Legislative Services agency. Their AG lost his credibility when he claimed the whole thing was a scam.
But the law is functioning as intended. The ambiguity is a feature, not a bug, to scare people away. We shall see if Indiana repeats the same mistakes.
The solution is simple – rape and incest provisions. But as we have found out, some want to use being raped as a teaching moment.

The whole abortion issue is a matter that should be kept between the patient and their physician. It is no one else’s business.
Rokita should be disbarred. He is grandstanding by publicizing the tragedy of a 10-YEAR OLDs abuse, rape and pregnancy. The only part he should be focusing on is the criminal who raped her and her mother who allowed it. Disgraceful!
Do you realize that Biden brought it to nationwide attention?
Rokita is almost certainly a sleazebag, but what about the Ohio politicians on both sides of the aisle who sought to obfuscate the matter? Applying that same logic, Caitlin Bernard should have her medical license revoked. She is obviously a political activist first and a physician second.
DH and Lauren B.
I lump them all in the same boat for all the public attention they have brought on this poor child. We are all passionate about the subject, but putting the spotlight on a child is unacceptable.
An ethics complaint should be filed with the Indiana Supreme Court against Attorney General Todd Rokita for his uninformed unprofessional grandstanding besmirching Indiana’s Office of Attorney General.
