Ohio AG Dave Yost told Fox News a 10-year-old did not have to leave the state for her abortion. We dug into Ohio law to find out if that's the case.
CLEVELAND — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has been in the national spotlight since a Monday night interview with Fox News in which he cast doubt on the story of a 10-year-old Ohio girl who sought an abortion in Indiana because of Ohio’s new six-week abortion ban. That story turned out to be true, and he changed his tune when an arrest in the case was announced Wednesday. But now we’re looking at another portion of that interview that our viewers asked us to look into, and we did some digging.
“The language here is 'medical emergency', which would suggest that the person does not have time to go to another state,” Hoffman said. Hoffman couldn’t speak to this case specifically since we know so few details about that 10-year-old girl or the circumstances surrounding her medical condition.
