Summary
President Biden reported last week that “a ten-year-old girl was a rape victim—ten years old—and she was forced to have to travel out of state to Indiana to seek to terminate the pregnancy and maybe save her life.” But is the story true? In The Daily Article for July 12, 2022, Dr. Jim Denison considers how our culture has lost trust in its institutions and encourages Christians to "trust in the name of the Lord our God" (Psalm 20:7).

| 0:08.3 | Today's article is written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins of the Denison |
| 0:13.3 | Forum. President Biden reported last week that, and I quote, a 10-year-old girl was a rape |
| 0:19.7 | victim 10 years old, and she was forced to have to travel out of state to Indiana to seek to terminate the pregnancy and maybe save her life. |

| 1:27.2 | that the Ohio doctor filed the mandated |
| 1:29.8 | report on the alleged abuse with their local child welfare or law enforcement agency. The article |
| 1:36.0 | concludes, this is a very difficult story to check. The abortionist is on record, but obtaining |
| 1:42.6 | documents or other confirmation is all |
| 1:45.5 | but impossible without details that would identify the locality where the |
