Discussion: Appeals Court Blocks Undocumented Teen Immigrant's Access To Abortion

I’m trying to understand the current ‘government’s’ position…

opposed to abortion so fighting to keep her pregnant

hates ‘anchor babies’

doing it’s best make sure one is delivered

make sure it’s allowed no ‘gov’t benefits’

The anti-choice crowd never wants poor mothers to get benefits–American or otherwise. Sex for an unwed–again poor–mother is wrong and pregnancy is the punishment.

They hate government regulations and interference except when women and their bodies are in issue

They’re doing everything they can to run out the clock, but they won’t lift a finger to help her or the kid once it’s born.

Conservative Catholics are having a meltdown over this. First of all, she’s ILLEGAL(!!!), secondly, if she’s allowed to have the procedure, the US will become a mecca for ABORTION TOURISTS(!!!). Another dispatch from the perspective-free zone.

again it’s the abortion v anchor baby thing…

don’t they realize that the baby will be a US citizen even it it’s born at a detention center? it’s STILL US soil…

This wanton cruelty is unfathomable. They are now just trying to run out the clock. Because there’s only one thing better than victimizing one person — victimizing two people.

In the Government’s view, according to Jonathan Lloyd the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement,she should agree to be sent back to her country of origin where she can get the medical procedure. The problem is, as it has been mentioned in other articles, she is from a Central American country where abortion is illegal, no exceptions.

OT In other news, as Sgt. La David Johnson is laid to rest in Florida, Dotard has arrived at his golf club in Virginia, presumably for his 70th round at a Trump-owned property.


ETA I don’t want to be too cynical. Maybe he’ll be skipping golf today to read about himself. Perhaps this swell article from today’s Toronto Sun.

On the other hand it’s a long enough article that, due to his profoundly limited reading abilities, it would likely take up his entire weekend. And that, of course, would cut into his golf time, which would never do. Especially for a go-go Precedent who is “so busy making great deals” that he barely has time to play golf to begin with.

Decisions, decisions.

Those damn abortion tourists and their anchor babies… oh wait

They’re arguing that they don’t want to spend money providing post-procedure care if she gets an abortion. Instead, they want to pay for pre-natal care for nine months? Or is the plan to wait until she’s in labor, and then dump her over the border without a dime?

Or before, I’d wager.

Child. They are destroying this child’s life. They are forcing a child to have a baby.

If the father is an adult, he at a minimum committed statutory rape.

Yes - child. You’re right. And they are ruining her entire life. It makes me so mad I can barely talk about it.

I’d like to kill the sons of bitches.

Here’s how the Trump administration will solve the Jane Doe conundrum: by releasing her into the custody of Sheriff Clarke who has a proven record of forcing women to give birth while handcuffed and leaving their babies to die. With any luck Jane will bleed to death as well.

If she’s not supposed to be an American citizen, how can an American court tell her she must be a slave to conservatives?

She tempted him and their god forgives the male for being weak but not the incubator for his spawn.

If the delta bravo who got her pregnant was a Republican she would be able to get an abortion:

…Mr. Murphy’s story calls to mind the Tennessee Congressman Scott DesJarlais, who is similarly pro-life in the streets, pro-choice in the sheets…it’s almost as if these men are fighting to make abortion a crime because they’re more interested in curtailing women’s options and controlling their bodies then they are with saving innocent lives…
