South Dakota governor concerned about abortion ban with 10-year-old pregnant rape victim

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem did her best to change how she and her state would handle the case of a 10-year-old girl who became pregnant after being raped.

Gov. Noem appeared on CNN on Sunday and discussed her state's anti-abortion law, which prohibits such procedures except to save the life of the mother.

The Governor immediately tried to change the subject and talk about how a monster could do such a thing and the need for people like him to be held accountable. CNN's Dana Bash urged her to revisit the topic, and the Governor danced around the topic.

The 10-year-old lives in Ohio and was 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant... 3 days too late to have an abortion in this state. She reportedly traveled to Indiana for the procedure.

Bash couldn't pin the governor...she asked, "Because [the] trigger law [in South Dakota] was passed before you became governor, I wanted you to be clear: will the state of South Dakota force a 10-year-old in the same situation to have a baby?"

Noem's response... "You know what I find amazing, Dana, about this tragic story? What's amazing is that no one talks about the pervert, horrible, deranged individual who raped a 10 year old child. what do we do about these individuals doing this to these children?"

She added..."Every life, every life is precious."

It seems the Governor is saying that the little girl should be forced to give birth...
