Right-Winger Monsters FAIL To Discredit Story Of 10-YO Abortion Patient

After almost every right-wing media outlet and politician tried to discredit and throw cold water on the story of the 10-year-old Ohio rape victim, a man has been arrested and charged after confessing to raping the girl multiple times. The girl had to travel to Indiana to receive an abortion as Ohio’s heartbeat trigger law takes effect at 6 weeks of pregnancy. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

“A 27-year-old man has been charged in the sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl who reportedly traveled from Ohio to Indiana for an abortion in a case that drew international attention — and scrutiny — in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Gershon Fuentes, who was arrested Tuesday, confessed to raping the child, according to documents filed in Franklin County, Ohio, Municipal Court.

He was charged with the rape of a minor and faces a life sentence and deportation, the documents state. Bond was set at $2 million, and an initial hearing is scheduled for next week.

An attorney who represented Fuentes at Wednesday’s hearing did not immediately reply to a request for comment Wednesday evening.”

Right-Wingers Launch Witch Hunt Against 10-YO Abortion Patient’s Doctor

As conservative media, and politicians alike, spent hours and hours trying to discredit the story of a 10-year-old Ohio rape victim who had to travel to Indiana to receive an abortion, they have now turned the story into an investigation into the doctor who performed the abortion. Indiana’s Republican AG Todd Rokita told Jesse Watters that his office will investigate Dr. Caitlin Bernard, a gynecologist, and reproductive health activist.

“After Republicans and conservative media spent days suggesting the viral story of a 10-year-old rape victim who was forced to travel across state lines for an abortion was fake before an arrest was made Wednesday, the Republican attorney general of Indiana now wants to investigate—the doctor who did the procedure.

Indiana AG Todd Rokita said Wednesday his office is now investigating whether Dr. Caitlin Bernard, who told the Indianapolis Star earlier this month about the case without identifying the patient, reported the assault of the 10-year-old girl to Indiana authorities.

Rokita made this very official announcement—where he didn’t officially accuse Bernard of anything—on Fox News, of course.

“We’re gathering the evidence as we speak, and we’re going to fight this to the end, including looking at her licensure if she failed to report,” Rokita told Jesse Watters, who’d had Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on two nights prior to suggest that the story was fake.”

Biden Threatens WAR With Iran Instead Of Starting Peaceful Negotiations

In a recent interview, President Joe Biden openly admitted that he’s willing to go to war with Iran if they continue to build up their nuclear weapon arsenal. Although Biden has slammed Trump for leaving the critical Iran Nuclear Deal, it’s curious that he is now sending threats to a country that we need to negotiate with to rejoin the deal.

“U.S. President Joe Biden said in an interview aired Wednesday that he would be willing to go to war with Iran to prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon, a position that drew condemnation from advocacy groups and foreign policy analysts who questioned the moral, strategic, and legal bases for such a stance.

Biden also reiterated in the sit-down interview with Israeli broadcaster N12 that he is committed to keeping the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on the U.S. State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations list, even if it means sinking the prospects of a deal to revive the nuclear accord that former President Donald Trump violated in 2018.

While acknowledging that Trump’s decision to abandon the seven-country deal was a “gigantic mistake,” Biden said he would not delist the IRGC to advance nuclear talks that have hit a wall in recent weeks.

Biden offered a one-word answer—”yes”—when asked whether he would keep the IRGC on the terror list “even if that means that kills the deal.””
