NEW: Will Bo Hines Condemn Pro-Life Group’s Proposal to Force 10-Year-Old Rape Victims to Carry to Term?

Following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe, a 10-year-old rape victim was forced to travel from Ohio to Indiana to receive care since Ohio’s six-week “trigger ban” now bars women and children from accessing abortion even in the case of rape.

The general counsel for prominent anti-choice group National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), Jim Bopp, bragged to Politico about his model legislation that would allow states to force this young girl and others like her to carry their rapist’s child to term. Will Bo Hines (NC-13) condemn NRLC’s proposal to force a 10-year-old rape victim to carry that pregnancy to term?

Said Bopp of the 10-year-old Ohio girl:

“She would have had the baby, and as many women who have had babies as a result of rape, we would hope that she would understand the reason and ultimately the benefit of having the child.”

Bo Hines has gone on the record saying he supports banning abortion with NO exceptions – not even to save the life of the mother.

“Bo Hines claims to be ‘pro-life’ – can he look voters in the eye and say whether he agrees with NRLC that 10-year-old rape victims should be forced to give birth?” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson.
