Judge Won’t Reverse Trump Admin Block on Abortions for Undocumented Teen Girls
A federal judge refused to step into a Texas abortion case involving a shelter that is encouraging a 17-year-old immigrant to choose life for her unborn baby, instead of abortion.
The ACLU’s lawsuit challenges the taxpayer funding that religious-based shelters receive to provide care for unaccompanied minor immigrants and refugees. The pro-abortion legal group has a problem with the religious shelters that do not promote or provide abortions or contraception.
The ACLU claims the federal office violated the girl’s constitutional rights by refusing to help her get an abortion through the taxpayer-funded shelter in Texas.
The new Trump administration policy is a stark contrast to pro-abortion President Barack Obama’s administration, which mandated that unaccompanied immigrant and refugee children be given access to abortion at taxpayer-funded shelters. The Obama Administration also put abortion ahead of human trafficking victims by denying grants to Catholic Charities because they wouldn’t help victims get abortions.
