Court Forces To Take Teen For Abortion

The undocumented teenager at the center of a court battle has killed her 15-week-old unborn baby after a federal appeals court forced Trump administration officials to transport her to a local abortion center. She aborted her baby this morning according to pro-abortion attorneys with the ACLU, that filed suit forcing the White House to facilitate the abortion.

The Trump administration did not attempt to fight the legal battle further.

But the action does not settle the larger legal question of whether officials at the Office of Refugee Resettlement can stand in the way of detained young women who wish to terminate their pregnancies. Administration lawyers said the only option for pregnant minors in detention was to accept deportation to their home countries.

The attorneys issued a statement from the young woman. “I made my decision and that is between me and God. Through all of this, I have never changed my mind,” she said.

Brigitte Amiri, an ACLU attorney, predicted further legal fights. “Justice prevailed today for Jane Doe. But make no mistake about it, the administration’s efforts to interfere in women’s decisions won’t stop with Jane,” she said.

Leading pro-life advocates were upset by the decision of the appeals court to force Trump officials to facilitate the abortion.

“Today, federal court judges sided with the abortion lobby and its ally the ACLU against true compassion and human dignity,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “The ACLU is pushing its larger agenda of making the United States a sanctuary nation for abortion. This shameful ruling must not stand. The Trump administration’s policy is compassionate and consistent with American laws and values, and we hope to see them appeal this decision.”

Penny Nance, President of Concerned Women for America, was disappointed as well.

“Allowing our taxpayers to be entangled in financing and facilitating an abortion for an undocumented teen sets a horrible precedent. We do not want our nation to be known as a place where illegal immigrants can come in order to procure free abortions,” she told LifeNews.com. “And let’s remember that abortion is not health care. If we want to talk about providing care for undocumented minors who cross our border, then let’s be honest about the fact that there were two lives that crossed our border. There is a fully formed, unborn baby whose life is on the line here. An ultrasound would show that he or she has easily recognizable fingers, toes, and eyes.”

“We implore the Trump Administration to quickly appeal the decision and pray that Jane Doe changes her mind about having an abortion,” she added.

Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins called the ruling “a tragedy,” noting that the ruling overturned a Friday decision calling for a sponsor to assist her.
