President Joe Biden's claim that a 10-year-old rape victim was forced to travel across state lines to get an abortion after last month's Roe Vs. Wade ruling has come into question, after a Washington Post fact-checker found the story to be largely unsubstantiated.
It has also emerged that the doctor who first shared the story with an Indiana-based news outlet is a prominent abortion advocate - placing further doubt on its credibility.
The one-source story was provided to an Indiana news outlet by Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Caitlin Bernard last week. She claimed a child abuse doctor in Ohio contacted her about the case seeking aid from the doctor.
The account asserts the unnamed girl, who lives in Ohio, was forced to seek an abortion in Indiana after her home state banned abortion under its trigger law after Roe v Wade was overturned.
The dramatic anecdote has been widely shared since - primarily as a talking point by the left to lambaste last month's ruling.
On Friday, the president himself referenced the story, using it to help push an executive order that would protect abortions in the wake of the decision - spurring the Post journalist to eventually weigh in.
This isn't some imagined horror,' Biden said. 'It is already happening. Just last week, it was reported that a 10-year-old girl was a rape victim - 10 years old - and she was forced to have to travel out of state to Indiana to seek to terminate the pregnancy and maybe save her life.'
Biden, 79, raised his voice as he recounted the story, grasping the podium with both hands as he railed about the trauma the girl would have faced, and the presumed unfairness of the situation.

They actually DO have a mis/dis information agency already at work.

Look, here’s the bottom line: There’s absolutely nothing these demented Communist/Democrats say or do that does not have an ulterior and destructive motive. They are, BY FAR, the most dangerous enemy our country has ever faced, and they will utterly destroy us if we don’t soon launch a major offensive to crush them out of existence. An exaggeration you say? Wait and see.
He may not have made up the story but never the less the story has the markings of being fake news. He just is repeating a lie.
Biden is a liar, a congenital liar and not a particularly good one who could care less about the people hurt by his prevarications. I can think of ten off my head,

Excellent compilation that confirms why NOTHING that SOB says can ever be trusted!
I was raising the BS flag on that thread as well, the day it was posted.
I stand by my beliefs that this story is a hoax.
I composed this about a week ago ... take it and use it.
and this one about the same time
Her family borrowed Joe’s 18-wheeler for the trip.
No, just the abortionist lying through her teeth.
She’s supposed to file reports of child abuse in patient s that young.
No report has been filed.
“Called into question by the Washington Post”
Lmfaooo! As if. They were forced into it by random internet sleuths, exposing the story as likely fake news.
Like they would have ever looked into it on their own.
Pfftttt.
Why doesn’t Megan Fox get the credit for debunking this story instead of the WP?
Megan Fox-—”””The story about a 10 yr old pregnant girl who had to go from Ohio to IN for an abortion gives me serious pause for a number of reasons. There are many red flags.🚩I’m going to detail them here.”””

The Washington Post is one of those that pushed the story and now that conservative media has been busting it, the media is going to put themselves in front of the debunking.
Remember him watching ‘president’ FDR on television in 1929 about the Depression.

An entire thread came up to it being questionable if the story is actually real or not

Other than that. I really want the rapist to be found and punished severely.
The Washington Post? You mean Jeff Bezos lapdog paper?
There is also a complete thread questioning if the story is actually real.

I lived in Johnson County, Kansas. Missouri state line was 2 minutes from my home.
Excellent, informative thread. Thank you.
Megan Fox was on Jesse Watters Primetime tonight, to talk about Biden repeating the 10 year old rape victim story. She said the state doesn’t have a 6 week abortion limit. It is a heartbeat law.
I looked up Megan Fox, and found this story, saying abortion doc has already been reported for not reporting underage abortion:
