Court: Obama Admin Dodged State Laws To Get Illegal Minors Abortions
Federalist ^ | October 18, 2018 | Margot Cleveland

Last week, a federal judge in California dismissed a lawsuit the American Civil Liberties Union had filed in 2016 challenging the government’s award of grants to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to provide services to unaccompanied minor illegal aliens and trafficking victims. In the lawsuit, the ACLU argued the grants violated the Establishment Clause because the Department of Health and Human Services allowed the Catholic organization (and its sub-grantees) to deny girls and women in their care contraceptives and abortion.

The court rejected the ACLU’s Establishment Clause claim in a methodical 34-page opinion, explaining that the federal funds were not used to endorse or advance religion. Further, as the San Francisco-based federal judge stressed, the government would transfer minors to other facilities if there were a conflict between the services sought and the religious tenets of the organization running the shelter.

Buried in the middle of the court’s analysis was a shocking revelation: Obama administration officials transported pregnant minors in federal custody to New Mexico to obtain abortions in order to circumvent parental consent laws in other states.

An email exchange between two Health and Human Services employees in April 2014 exposed this disturbing fact. In discussing Maria, a pregnant minor held at a temporary shelter, possibly in Texas or Florida—the workers noted that Maria stated she wanted an abortion and did not want her parents to know that she was pregnant. At the time, Maria’s parents, who were to be her sponsors, were located in Florida. Maria was in the custody of the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Time to bring federal felony charges against a vunch of people who did this. conspiracy to break federal law, rico violations, fraud, coverup of illegal activities, federal crimes involving minors, doing illegal things to minors and hiding from their parents, etc.

Id lock em up the rest of their lives without any luxuries, or offer them one bullet, their choice.

Some gas stations still post signs saying must be 16 to pump gas.

Always found it ‘amusing’ that your 13 yo daughter can get an abortion but your 15 yo son/daughter can’t put gas in their grandmothers car....

Obama should be prosecuted for that.

We may assume then that the parents were residents in states that required parental consent, and the government transported the girls out of state also without the parents' consent.

So now we tolerate government kidnapping?
