'A 10-year-old should be forced to give birth to a rapist's child? Biden fumes at story of Ohio girl who went to Indiana to get an abortion says we can't let the 'out of control' Supreme Court and 'extremist' Republicans 'take away our personal autonomy'

President Joe Biden on Friday fumed about a 10-year-old girl in Ohio who was forced to go to another state to get an abortion after she was raped, using the dramatic story to make the case for Democrats to vote this November.

Biden raised his voice as he recounted the story, grasping the podium with both hands as he railed about the trauma the girl must have faced and the unfairness of the situation.

'She was forced to have to travel out of state to Indian to seek to terminate the pregnancy and maybe save her life. That's the last part is my judgment,' he said, speaking in the Roosevelt Room at the White House with Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra at his side.

'Imagine being that little girl. I'm serious, just imagine being that little girl. 10 years old!,' he said pointing his finger at the camera.

'A 10-year-old girl should be forced to give birth to a rapist's child?,' he said. 'I can't think of anything that's much more extreme.'

The case made national news after it was revealed a child abuse doctor in Ohio sought the help of Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist, to help a 10-year-old girl get an abortion after Ohio banned the procedure after six weeks - hours after the 6-3 Supreme Court vote, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

The child was six weeks and three days pregnant - therefore, ineligible by just three days to receive the procedure in her home state.

In his remarks, Biden targeted the Supreme Court justices directly, calling them 'out of control' and arguing they were working with exteremist Republicans to take away Americans' rights.

Update...

A week ago, @DanaBashCNN tried to trap me with a story about a 10-year old girl who got an abortion. I pointed out that nobody was asking about the pervert who raped that child. Now it looks like the story was fake to begin with

Time will tell. Since the name of the Doctor in Indiana is public it would seem to me the authorities in both states have an obligation to investigate a report of the rape of a ten year old. Can't imagine that would take more than a day or two.

You are right. Proof of that is how quickly the story vanished.
