An Ohio man is being charged with the rape of a ten year old girl who needed
to travel out of state to Indiana for an abortion.
The case drew national attention and also drew a lot of scrutiny in
the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe V Wade.
>> That's right. The man that you saw in that image is 27
year old Gershon Fuentes who raped a ten year old.
In fact, he raped this girl not once, but twice.
First time when she was only nine years old and then impregnated her.
And when she was pregnant in the state of Ohio,
where she was unable to get an abortion,
her family had to travel to another state, Indiana in order to get an abortion,
so she wouldn't be further victimized by forced pregnancy and
forced child delivery birth, giving birth to a rapist child.
I wanna just make sure you keep in mind, we're talking about a ten year old.
I was like £80 when I was ten years old.
And I want you to keep that in mind as we later discuss,
what a woman's body goes through?
What a person's body goes through as she is delivering a baby?
Now, before we get to that though, I wanna talk about all of the right wingers
who seem to have a significant interest in denying that this story was real.
Now when we're talking about rape victims, there are privacy concerns,
especially when we're dealing with a minor.
So when the story was first reported, we didn't know what her identity is,
we still don't know what her identity is.
I hope we never know what her identity is.
But we didn't know anything about the perpetrator either.
And that was exactly what the right wing exploited to try to throw cold water on
this, to make it seem as though no, this is impossible.
This is just made up.
The left wing is using this to politicize the issue of abortion,
of rape, of the brutality that the right wing
is inflicting upon women and girls in this country.
Now, let's get to the individuals who seem to have an interest in discrediting
the story in the first place.
Let's start off with Jesse Waters who had a woman by the name
of Megan fox from PJ media to try to throw cold water on the story.
>> No one has called me to say you're wrong.
The story is corroborated, there is a police report,
I have foyers out at several different government organizations in Ohio and
Indiana looking for the report.
Dr Caitlin Bernard, like you said, is a mandated reporter.
She has to report child rape.
This is a horrific story being used to divide Americans being used to
outrage people being used as a political weapon.
And that was one of the main red flags to me Jesse.
>> So there she is,
trying to discredit the story cuz no one's responding to her requests for comment.
When it was later confirmed that this was in fact a real story, and
let's also be clear, there are many other underage girls who are raped in this
country who become pregnant as a result of that rape in this country.
She didn't take any responsibility for her lies, for
her efforts to discredit the story.
She immediately tweets in response to someone who tells her to delete her
account and calls her hack because she is.
She says, quote, I should delete my account for
exposing that no media was looking for a rapist and
was only interested in political weaponization of child rape.
Would this arrest have happened if no one asked questions about the shoddy reporting
of this heinous act?
I'm glad someone was arrested.
Well, as Parker Malloy very clearly stated in the reporting confirms this.
Yeah, the police referral was actually made on june 22nd.
So Megan Fox, you're not a hero.
If anything, you support a political ideology that brutalizes young girls and
women in this country and you're a disgusting person for doing it.
Cenk go ahead. >> So the charge that's most absurd is you
guys are politicizing abortion.
That's what the Republican Party has been doing for the last 50 years.
They've been on a warpath.
They told everyone of their voters, don't worry about any of the other issues.
Don't worry that we're robbing you blind and we're gonna keep your wages low,
vote only on abortion.
And now they turn around and say, I can't believe you're politicizing abortion.
Okay, don't make it illegal and no, doesn't have to be political at all.
It's just the most absurd thing you've ever heard.
>> You know what politicizes abortions?
Having right wing, grifter, culture warrior Republican lawmakers,
get in between women and their doctors, girls and their doctors.
That is what politicizes this issue.
Go ahead.
Yeah, so they don't like this story cuz it makes them look like monsters.
You know why?
Cuz they are monsters.
Because their position is she should not have been allowed to get an abortion.
That 10 year old should have somehow carried any child to term,
let alone her rapist child.
And you know that at birth there's an excellent chance she would die.
She's just ten, birth is very difficult.
And they're saying, I don't care.
This is the pro life party, pro life, right?
So they're monsters.
They're absolute sick monsters.
So in order to cover up like it didn't happen.
I don't believe it.
Don't believe it.
>> I mean, look, as soon as that story came out,
why was the first instinct to discredit that story when in reality, I mean,
their first instinct should be to defend the laws that are now in place in Ohio.
These are the laws that why are you not championing this legislation this law?
It's not even legislation in Ohio.
It is now the law of that state.
>> Yeah Anna, I was just gonna say.
I mean, shouldn't you be defending it?
Shouldn't you be proud?
I mean, this is what you fought for for 50 years.
Congratulations, you finally got it.
So shouldn't you be out there going like,
yes, make that ten year old have the rapist baby.
Hey, it's your law, not my law.
I hate the law.
You say it was your whole reason for existence for a lot of your voters.
The only reason they ever voted.
This is so important to them.
Aren't you offending your voters who want this kind of vicious action
against ten year olds?
That's hey, it's not my Goddamn law.
It's your Goddamn law.
So are you in favor of it?
Are you proud of it or
are you embarrassed because it's obvious that you're the bad guys?
>> They know they're the bad guys.
They know that they rely on manufactured culture, wars, war against women, war
against members of the LGBTQ Community, any culture war necessary to deflect and
distract from the fact that they have nothing to offer the American people.
The right wing in America relies on politics of fear, politics of misery.
Think about it. Think about everything that they engage in
policy wise, everything that they promote policy wise,
it's not about making anyone's life better.
It's all about making certain groups of people's lives more difficult,
more miserable.
It's about directing hatred toward those groups of people.
It's about being suspicious and scared of those groups of people.
That's all they offer.
And my question is for the Republican voters out there, who for
some reason are enamored with those types of policies?
Have you taken a moment to just sit back for a second and ask yourself whether or
not making other fellow Americans lives miserable,
whether brutalizing other fellow Americans is making your life happier?
Cuz I would venture to say, just based on the rage that we see from
right wing voters on a daily basis, they seem pretty miserable themselves.
So maybe it's time to kind of recalibrate your approach to politics.
Maybe it's time to look at certain candidates and ask yourselves, hey,
is this someone who's actually going to fight to represent my best interests
rather than just simply making other people miserable?
And speaking of making other people miserable, just briefly,
let's talk about the pregnancy process and more importantly, the childbirth process.
Now, if you're an adult woman, you've been planning a pregnancy,
you're excited to have a baby, you are mentally prepared for it.
You are educated about it, your body since you're an adult is likely
far more prepared to give birth to a baby compared to a literal ten year old.
Think about how tiny a ten year old is.
Now, think about that ten year old being forced to carry
her rapist baby for nine months?
And then after that, what happens during childbirth?
How long is labor?
Because, I mean, it fluctuates, right?
Some women, it could be quick.
Other women, it could take 24 hours to be in labor.
>> Or longer. >> Or Longer.
Okay then let's talk about what the child, when you're delivering the baby?
What is that like?
Would a 10 year old who had been a rape victim and got impregnated by that rapist,
would she be forced to do this through a vaginal birth?
No, think about it.
I want the right wing.
I want everyone to think about it.
I know it's super uncomfortable.
It's disgusting.
I wish we were not in a position to have to think about this.
Think about a ten year old with her tiny body being forced
to do a vaginal delivery after she's been raped.
How traumatic that is.
Or maybe since she's so tiny, her body is unable to handle a vaginal birth.
They might do a C section instead, right?
I have not been in a room where a woman has had to have a C section.
I know you have been in a room where that's happened.
What is that like Cenk?
>> They have to take out a lot of the inner intestines etcetera and
put it on your stomach while or your chest while they're taking the baby out.
So it is a gruesome operation.
Thank God for modern medicine that they do a good job afterwards
of making sure the mom is okay.
But you're really gonna do that to a ten year old?
>> Who was raped and impregnated by that rape.
You're gonna make her go through that traumatic experience.
Let's go to graphic eight here.
So during a cesarean section, it cut is made through your skin and
the wall of your abdomen.
This will be either horizontal or vertical.
The abdominal muscles are separated to allow access to your uterus, but
they're not done cutting you up yet.
Another cut, either horizontal or vertical is made in the wall of your uterus.
The baby is delivered through these incisions.
And by the way, as you can imagine in a country where we
have far higher maternal mortality rates than other developed countries.
It's especially dangerous for a ten year old to go through this process, right?
Her life very likely will be in danger through this process.
In fact, I'm not just guessing.
There are many studies proving this.
Let me note one of them.
Here's an excerpt.
Early childbirth is especially dangerous for adolescents.
In this case, we're not even talking about an adolescent.
We're talking about a literal child, a ten year old.
And their infants compared to women between ages 20 to 35,
pregnant women under 20 are at greater risk for death and disease,
including bleeding during pregnancy, toxemia, hemorrhage,
prolonged and difficult labor, severe anemia and disability.
Great, yeah super pro life of the right wing in this country
to force a ten year old to go through this.
Yeah, so then one of the guys who didn't believe it,
there's tons of course Jesse Waters, so many other Republicans.
And so Jim Jordan's a particularly interesting one.
He's like, there was sexual abuse and it didn't get reported.
My God, Jim Jordans was a wrestling coach when a doctor on
that same team sexually molested dozens of wrestlers.
And a lot of them have now come forward and said, yeah, Jim Jordan knew we for
a fact.
He knew we told him,
can you please get him to stop molesting the US and and the students.
And Jim Jordan protected the molester instead of protecting the kids.
Now it's not surprising that he says, who cares about the ten year old?
Cuz he's been abusing kids and helping to abuse kids his whole life.
Okay but then he says, no I don't even believe it.
And then of course, afterwards he deleted the tweet.
And now they've all pivoted, which is what we're gonna talk about
next to blaming the doctor who did the abortion because they're
saying she is the one who should get in criminal trouble.
They are disgusting people.
So I the joe biden's of the world and everybody,
every stupid reporter in Washington keeps saying, bipartisanship is so important.
You need to hold hands with republicans and say how great they are, no,
no deal, no deal.
We need to fight republicans and we need to beat republicans.
If you see a democrat kissing republicans ass,
know that they are not on your side, go fight them.
These people are goddamn monsters.
