Discussion: Court: Government Can't Block Immigrant Teens From Abortion

If Lloyd is so against abortion he should transfer to ICE where pregnant women picked up and awaiting deportation are routinely denied prenatal healthcare and if they miscarry denied follow-up care. At least he would be advocating for women who wanted their fetuses to develop into live births.

It’s curious that the loudest voices about the evils of big government are not only the biggest beneficiaries, they are the most restrictive of others’ free will. No cognitive dissonance there.

I know this will never happen, but: conspiracy to deny a civil right, check. Under color of law, check. Based on national origin, check.

The irony – or shall I say, the hypocrisy – of the Trump regime’s position on this is that by trying to deny an abortion to a pregnant, undocumented – or in their terms, “illegal” – teen, they are ensuring the birth of what they like to call another “anchor baby,” who will automatically be an American citizen. And no doubt, once that child is born, it will be ripped away from its mother resulting in another destroyed family.

In other words, the only coherency to the current administration’s policy is their vicious desire to bring as much harm to brown people as possible.

From what I understand by reading the reporting – which is not clear – they do their best to get women deported before they give birth. (I think there was a bit about no third-trimester imprisonments.) So first a few months under horrible conditions with no prenatal care, then go out and deliver somewhere, just as long as it’s not here.
