Old Enough To Have An Abortion (On Your Dime), But Not To Buy A Gun At Dick's Sporting Goods (With Their Own)
CNA/EWTN News).- U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued an injunction
on Friday that blocked a Trump administration policy which prevented
undocumented teenagers being held in federal custody from undergoing
abortions.
The injunction is preliminary and the government can appeal. Chutkan
also certified a class action of other pregnant undocumented teens who
are seeking abortions.
Last March, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement said that federally funded shelters could not provide or facilitate abortion services without permission from office director Scott Lloyd. The government is being sued over this policy in the case Garza v Hargan.
Last month, the American Civil Liberties Union released the transcript of a December deposition of Lloyd, in which he admitted that he had not approved any abortions during his tenure, nor did he believe that undocumented minors had a Constitutional right to have an abortion. The ACLU has referred to the current policy as “cruel.”
