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.
More proof of the culture of death. Those attempting to preserve life are the ones punished. Those with clear conflicts of interest (the boy's mother who doesn't want to pay child support) get away scott free. I hope the mother of the girl takes this woman for everything she has.
After beating the daylights out of the father of that child (who I'd bet was over 18), I don't know what I'd do...
Oh, but it's true. Your daughter can go to Planned Parenthood and get birth control without your permission. She can go get an abortion without your permission.
Now you see what happens if you even TRY to CHALLENGE the "authority" of those death mills.
It makes my blood boil.
Ridiculous! A 14 year old can't make these decisions.
A tidal wave is forming.

Such a nice name.
Ping... You gotta read this story.
I think I'm going to be sick. After all the turmoil we've had to witness heaped upon the Schindler family and now this! What's happened to this country?
Well his mother still needs a good whuppin'.
Elian, Schiavo ...
So much easier to cover up crimes and taint crime scenes as a cop using ideology and orders as excuses.
We need some serious Nuremberg style trials to come back to the scene.
This is a gestapo cop nation run by liberal ideology at the expense of evidence and crime scene proofs.
bump.
Indeed he is!
This is outrageous and appalling. Terri and now this? What is this country coming to?
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!"
Well...at least that what I would have done.
Naw, this happened in a 3rd world country. Didn't it?.......Didn't it? Couldn't have been my country.
That school is going to have one hellacious lawsuit on their hands for not making SURE that woman was who she said she was. I see kidnapping charges as well.
Not really
this just shows how low our country has gone
They will lie, cheat and steal to continue to kill the Innocent
'stick a fork in us'
Exactly. Sad but true. Evil prevails today in our society.
