Every indication was that the story was a lie, and I stand by my assessment that it was a lie. My logic and all available evidence supported that conclusion.

There is no evidence that the 10 year old ever attempted to get any abortion inside of Ohio, or that she was refused because the law forbade it. It was never established that she had a fetal heartbeat, which triggers the law, or that any physician refused to certify that an abortion would have been necessary to protect her health, which is an exception the law allows (and doctors in general consider pregnancies for 10 year olds - which is about the youngest that a girl can get pregnant - a serious health risk for the mother).

So just the fact that she exists does not prove all necessary elements of the media's claims. It only proves that she exists, but not that she could not get an abortion in Ohio.
