For legal reasons, the names of the family and the 14-year old girl that are the subject of this story have been withheld at this time.
GRANITE CITY - A Sothern Illinois woman was arrested last week (March 17) after trying to intervene on behalf of her 14-year old daughter's effort to have an abortion. The girl was allegedly taken to an abortion clinic by the mother of the man allegedly to have impregnated the 14-year old.
According to the girl's mother, her 14-year old daughter was called off from school in Madison County by a woman posing as the girl's “grandmother.” The woman took the girl from her home only minutes before the girl’s mother returned home from work.
It was later determined that the woman who had posed as the "grandmother" to the school authorities was the mother of the male who had fathered the unborn child the 14-year old girl was carrying. The age of the male has not been released.
When the parents were notified their pregnant daughter was not at school, they suspected she had been taken to the Hope Abortion Clinic in Granite City. The parents and grandfather were the only persons authorized to request school absence for the fourteen year old female.
“My husband and I rushed to the abortion clinic where we saw our daughter’s name on the roster and the time she had checked in,” the mother said. She then went into the clinic and searched a room filled with young women awaiting abortions but did not see her daughter.
She took a seat near the main desk and said, “I was told I could not prove my daughter was there so I began calling her name. A medical tech at the clinic told me , ‘It’s your daughter’s rights, it’s her body. You have no rights.’”
After continuing to call out her daughter’s name and telling her “don’t do it,” authorities were called and the mother was arrested.
The 14-year old told her mother she could hear her but when she asked employees to give her mother a message, they came back to the room and told her that her mother had left.
Angela Michaels, of Small Victories Ministry, was tipped off as to what was happending at the Hope clinic. According to Michaels, she witnessed police placing the mother’s hands behind her back, taking her into custody. As the police were putting the mother in the squad car, she was crying out, “Please, please, help me...my daughter is in there.”
Michaels said, “Exactly one hour later at 10:35 a.m., the 14-year old emerged from the clinic looking disheveled. The 14-year old told us that employees kept her in a quiet room until the procedure was performed and she was told that her mother had left.”
Employees assured this girl on her departure, “No-one will ever know you were here, we’ll bury your records.”
In the meantime, the woman who had taken the girl for the abortion was slipped out the back door of the clinic.
The police in the community in which the family lives allegedly told the girl's mom that they couldn't intervene despite her making a charge that her daughter had been raped (by statute) because the charge was stale--7 weeks after the incident. They did tell the girl's mom that, while she had no right to stop the abortion, she did have a right to go into the clinic and speak to her daughter.
The parents are expected to file charges.
From now on I will refuse to listen to anyone complaining about human rights abuses in other countries until the United States fixes its nazi style death culture. It's getting out of control. The deathocrats and their judges must be stopped.

Good point. I'm sure there are a number of ways the boy's mother could be tied into this.
It's just disgusting. Where's the boyfriend? Is he still crying to mommy?
So, if the teenager had gotten an infection from the abortion, or worse yet, had died, just WHO would have been responsible?
IF the kid had had to have hospitalization you can bet your bottom dollar the hospital wouldn't have sent the boy's mama a bill.
Stop the world, it's time to get off.
Jaw-dropping PING
Unbelievable, pinging myself for later read.
Me too, and we both would lose the case in front of a judge. Sad.
"Ahhh...this is where the mother should have gotten right up into this shiitehead's face and started screaming..."My daughter has been kidnapped! That's a Federal felony. Go ahead and call the police bullet head!""
That is what did happen. When the police came, they arrested the mother.

Maybe her parents knew she was pregnant?
Especially that absolute bullsh!t line from the cop about 7 weeks being too late to report a rape case ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PHYSICAL PROOF OF THE CRIME IS RIGHT THERE IN THE YOUNG WOMAN'S WOMB!
This story smells to me BUT I think the 'grandma' should be put in jail.
Mother bears have weapons.
Make sure you do too.
For kidnapping. And the "man" should be in jail for rape.
Spoken like a true liberal.
Isn't it odd that the Supreme Court won't allow the death penalty for anyone under the age of 18, supposedly based on the fact that their cognitive powers have not reached maturity. I guess a 17 year old is just too immature to know right from wrong. But the same kids are mature enough to decide about abortion. Sheesh!
This is horrible.
