Early this year, a 10-year-old girl who was impregnated by her stepfather came to the Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center in Madison, said Jennifer Ginsburg, the center's executive director.
The girl wanted an abortion, Ginsburg said. Staff at the center, which serves alleged victims of child abuse, referred her to Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, where she got one, Ginsburg said.
Now, providers in Wisconsin have halted abortions after the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade last month has left state courts to determine if the state’s 1849 abortion ban still stands. The ban includes an exception to save the life of the mother but not for rape or incest.
Ginsburg wonders what will happen to other sexual assault victims, especially children, who want to end their pregnancies.
