Finally, a federal judge from the Fourth District has ordered the Trump regime to allow an undocumented teenager to travel to get an abortion, but they're appealing the ruling. The young girl is being represented by the ACLU.
At arguments earlier on Wednesday, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan appeared likely to order that the government must allow the young woman, referred to in court papers as “Jane Doe,” to get an abortion. The judge was incredulous as she questioned the lawyer for the government, at one point saying she was “astounded” at the government’s apparent position that the teen’s only options were to either carry the pregnancy to term or go back to her home country.
“Just because she’s here illegally doesn’t mean she doesn’t have constitutional rights,” Chutkan said.
