This whole sordid story is one of the saddest I’ve ever heard. Eventually this kid will grow up and be a spokeswoman for one side or the other and on and on it churns and grinds. Poor kid. Anybody else just want to scoop her up in a big hug and run away?

Sorry, why is it sad for her to speak out in favor of a right she was denied in her home state? I don't want to run away, I don't want any other child to be in her position, and pretending this isn't the result of politics doesn't get us there.
Because she’s a ten year old rape victim and I think it would be awesome if we could be more concerned about getting her trauma therapy, which is orders of magnitude more successful if done early, a safe home environment which she statistically may not have, maybe even an inpatient therapeutic program, protecting her privacy, etc etc etc. Using her for political ends is disgusting. Maybe she wanted to be a veterinarian or a ballerina and not “Ohio abortion girl”. I’ve been around long enough to see how people get chewed up and spit out when they’re used this way and it’s f***** sad when it’s an abused child. Both sides are doing it. The left for abortion and the right for illegal immigration and it’s gross and sad in both cases.
Everyone wants this child to get whatever support and privacy she needs. One side also wants to force her ten-year-old body to birth a baby. Her identity has not actually been disclosed, as demonstrated by the fact that you are calling her "Ohio abortion girl" and not her name. This is not "both sides."
I genuinely have no idea what someone could find revolting about drawing attention to the fact that a raped ten year old was unable to access an abortion. I am also not sure how someone can be neutral about whether a raped ten year old should have access to abortion.
It's not as though forcing her to give birth at ten is going to protect her privacy. A nine-months-pregnant fourth grader is going to get noticed at school.
It’s sad because she shouldn’t be in this terrible position to begin with.
Also, people are surprising. She may speak out one day for the other side. She may say she was coerced into an abortion she didn’t want. It happens! You never know.

I guess it depends on which side you’re on. I’m on neither and I find both revolting in this case. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

It seems phenomenally unlikely that an adult would regret not having had a baby at age ten. TEN.
True. Wtf is going on in a world where 10 year olds need abortions. So sad.
Men.
