Everyone agrees that if this 10 year old is at major medical risk if she were to carry til birth right?

So with that in mind, the Heartbeat bill does have that covered and she could legally have an abortion in Ohio.
"serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman"

Now all that said, Hopefully the Heartbeat Bill gets an amendment to cover Rapes etc, but the reality of the situation appears to be purely Politically driven with no real concern for the girl other than making her a martyr for the cause.

These laws are so poorly written that no one knows what actually constitutes a major medical risk and when that kicks in. Everyone knows an ectopic pregnancy is nonviable,  but is it an emergency before the tube ruptures?  At what point does pre-eclampsic blood pressure become life-threatening or uncontrollable?  How much bleeding is dangerous? Can a dead fetus be removed BEFORE it turns septic?  Republicans in the legislature were all so eager to prove they were the most pro-life that they wrote bad laws.  It is just like those vague anti-CRT-type laws going around.  They are so poorly written no one knows what is legal and what isn't legal.
