The undocumented teen in federal custody at the center of an abortion battle had the procedure Wednesday morning that the Trump administration had tried to block.
The American Civil Liberties Union tweeted that the 17-year-old, known only in court documents as Jane Doe, had the abortion early this morning.
“Make no mistake, the Trump administration's efforts to interfere in women's decisions won't stop with Jane Doe. We will not stop fighting until every woman has access to abortion care. #JusticeforJane,” the organization said in a subsequent tweet.
The full D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday overturned a previous decision from a three-judge panel on the court that had prevented Jane Doe from getting an abortion until she is released into the custody of a sponsor. The court had given the Department of Health and Human Services until 5 p.m. on Oct. 31 to find one.
The court did not issue an opinion, but in a statement Judge Patricia Millett said the order “rights a grave constitutional wrong by the government.”
The Trump administration had argued that federal policy does not require it to help "facilitate" an abortion, but Millett noted the government was not being asked to pay for the procedure or transport her to the appointment.
“So on the record of this case, the government does not have to facilitate—make easier—J.D.’s termination of her pregnancy. It just has to not interfere or make things harder,” she wrote.
Jane Doe was about 15 weeks pregnant. Texas bans abortion after 20 weeks.

Who pays for it?
Who pays?
Rhetorical question.
That baby could have grown up to find a cure for cancer.
Now deport her, pronto.
Doesn’t TX HHS pay?
This baby would have been an anchor baby. Conflicting priorities.
Another viable living human being relieved of being born healthy, by the Left.
This human was terminated, by the same people who do not believe in the death penalty for cause.
Innocent child: kill away
Most vile of human beings: we have no right to take their life
It defies explanation.
I wonder how many offers they had for the unborn body parts. Was there an auction?
Another small child playing at the feet of Jesus, another mother who will not be so happy when she meets Jesus.
ACLU: "The only good human is a dead human."
Another bowl of baby soup being served at the local Planned Parenthood cafeteria...
This is the first time that I have heard of an anchor baby being aborted. I have heard so many stories of pregnant Mexican women 9 months pregnant waddling up to the U.S. Customs inspection booth at the border as they break water and go into labor. I kind of admired them for doing what is best for their children.
This nation’s judges are on a murderous rampage.
When the Revolution comes it will not go well for them.
I read that it was privately funded.
“We will not stop fighting until every woman has access to abortion care. “
CARE?!
Did her parents approve?
She says she fled her parents because they were abusing her.
Any more, those are really the only questions I want an honest answer to.
“We will not stop fighting until every woman has access to abortion care.”
New slogan for the ACLU?:
“We won’t stop until ALL the babies are dead!”
