Mr. Flowers, as solicitor General you defended Ohio's law that banned abortion before most women know they're pregnant at just six weeks, which included no exceptions for rape or incense incest. And as you know, A 10 year old girl in Ohio got pregnant when she was raped. Following her rape, she couldn't get the care she needed at home. And because she was three days past Ohio's six week limit and there was no exception for rape, so she had to travel to Indiana to get access to abortion care. You urged the court to lift a trial judge's preliminary injunction of Ohio's abortion Ban arguing each day the law was enjoined, it inflicted, quote, irreparable harm and quote, unquote on the state?
