(Worthy News) – The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services may appeal a court decision requiring the Trump administration to provide abortions for pregnant, illegal teens in federal custody, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
Though the Trump administration says it has no duty to facilitate abortions, a federal judge in Washington, D.C. found new government policy respecting pregnant minors in immigrant detention likely places an undue burden on abortion access.
“The Department of Health & Human Services strongly maintains that taxpayers are not responsible for facilitating the abortion of unaccompanied minors who entered the country illegally and are currently in the government’s care,” an HHS spokesperson told TheDCNF. “We are working closely with the Justice Department to review the court’s order and determine next steps.” [ Source: Daily Caller (Read More…) ]
