Appeals court halts ruling allowing illegal immigrant teen to get abortion
Fox News ^ | October 19, 2017 | Staff

An appeals court on Thursday halted a decision that would have allowed a pregnant illegal immigrant teen to get an abortion, just hours after a federal judge ordered the government to "promptly" take her to have the procedure.

The unidentified 17-year-old girl, who is being held at a Texas facility after she entered the U.S. illegally, is believed to be about 15 weeks pregnant. Texas state law bans most abortions if a woman is more than 20 weeks pregnant and require them to get counseling from a doctor 24 hours before the procedure. Minors are also usually required to obtain parental consent or a judge's waiver.

Another hearing is expected to occur Friday morning, in which the appeals court could lift the stay. The teenager can then still have the procedure on Friday or Saturday.

Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered on Wednesday to have the teenager transported to an abortion clinic “promptly and without delay.” The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia then issued a short ruling that blocked the order after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services filed an appeal.

Well, the option is there when we finally get semi-decent people into office.

On one hand I’m happy for the unborn baby but on the other hand I’m unhappy that it’ll be an anchor baby. I’m more happy on the one hand than I’m unhappy on the other hand.

U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan just got overruled trying to push abortion. Although it is only temporary, it shows there is some rationality left here in this country.

Liberals believe that the only absolute right is that of a woman to murder her unborn.

What?? She wants to get rid of her anchor baby?? If these women enter the country pregnant, their new borns should be born as citizens of where ever mama came from. They are not Americans. These people illegally enter the country when they are 8.9 months pregnant and have it here before they can be deported, and then get to stay because baby was born here. Saw on the LIVE PD show where they caught women down on the Texas border and they were hours/days from giving birth. Waited on the otherside of the border until the pains start, then come across. That simply is not right. They should not get to stay because the kid is born here. If they are from Panama, then the kid is from Panama and they are sent home to Panama.

Kaliforniastan is a self inflicted wound and reelected that old 1960’s fool Jerry the nut case Brown as governor. They deserve every stinking thing that happens to then. They want to succeed from the USA. Let them. Then build a fence along the border and take out all our military bases from there. They would lose all those navy bases down in San Diego and the army and marine bases also. Screw that bunch of stinking communists running that state. The people keep electing those fools, they deserve every thing happening to them. See how far they get without all our taxpayer funds.

“I’m more happy on the one hand than I’m unhappy on the other hand.”

Can we deport the baby? Can we shoot it if it resists?

Two questions, Buckeye: (1) I'm not sure, but isn't birthright citizenship still in force? Or has that been overturned? (I haven't been keeping up.) 2) Did she say, direct quote, why she supposedly wants an abortion? Do we know for a fact that she actually wants it at all? I think the abortionists and their judicial enablers may well be railroading her.

Something like 66% of all abortions in the USA are committed in the first 8 weeks, and 90%+ in the first 12 weeks. It's highly unusual for a girl/woman who actually wants an abortion, to let it go to 15 weeks. She's probably already feeling the baby's movement.

I catch a whiff of coercion here.

you can be fulfilled in both desires:

deport her immediately to deliver her child at home.

“Texas laws apply to illegals ?”

It’s illegal for a minor to get an abortion there without parental consent.

"All others District or Appeals are creations of Congressional legislation and as such can be simply legislated into oblivion."

Good luck with that. We can't even get Congress to get rid of Obamacare.

=====================================

....Or get the Senate to confirm the dozens of fed judge nominations Trump has made.

Ole' turkey neck has been a major roadblock on much of the Trump / America first agenda.

If you are in the country illegally, you should get NOTHING that is paid for by the taxpayers. One exception. Deportation.
