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.
Here we go again....
Why is it that the school has to get written permission from me to give my child a tylenol or other OTC medication (including Tums), but the same daughter can get an abortion without my knowledge or permission?
Am I the only person in the world that thinks something is awfully screwed up?

One very good reason to steer clear of public schools.
Haven't you heard? Abortuaries and their ghouls of representation at Planned Parenthood don't even need to disclose the risk of death involved.
These are the soulless Charems that usher the dead across the River Styx....
Now, that's clearly an unfair generalization to make about the folks who often put their lives on the line to protect the citizenry. There are good and bad, principled and unprincipled in every profession.
I'll keep this in mind if and when someone comes between my kids and me!
Thanks!
I didn't. It is standard operating procedure for the left and abortion advocates.
Wouldn't they have to destroy the 14 year-old girl to really destroy the evidence. She could certainly bring charges.
I'm thinking even DCFS deserves a cursory phone call, just in case the male in question is under eighteen and he's now living with a criminal parent.
If a 14 year old daughter of mine was pregnant, I'd be the one marching her into the abortion clinic, whether she wanted it or not. And I think it would be a good idea for state laws to allow pregnant minors to choose an abortion without their parents' consent -- since if they don't have one, the resulting baby will be around long past the time the girl ceases to be a minor. However, kidnapping for any purpose is illegal and should be prosecuted.

Good morning.
Is it just me, or does it seem like the Cult of Death is speeding up it's efforts to destroy our society?

I had to read it twice to get at, what you meant by your correction!
LOL.
Thanks.
Agenda agenda agenda.
The parents are responsible under the law for the daughter except for her vagina.
Amen sister! They would have seen me barreling through the door. I would hope I would have plowed through anyone in my way too.
The "father" in this case is 16.
This is truly sick. Home schooling is looking better every day.
