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.
Kidnapped to conceal another crime (statutory rape).
So now we have kidnap, criminal conspiracy, evidience tampering, possible fraud and forgery and misrepresentation of identity and I'm sure there is something about unlawful interferance in parental custody and corruption of a minor, and maybe even child sexual abuse as this woman was clearly facilitating the sexual exploitation of this child by her son.
I'd be filing criminal and civil complaints a foot deep.
More evidence of this nation speeding into Hell in a NASCAR automobile! Death is celebrated and commended while life is reviled and spat upon.
God have mercy on this vile nation!
But you can get an abortion without parental notification in Illnois. Sick, isn't it??
Shocking is to mild of a statement!
What in the world is going on in this country?
We need to take back our rights as parents and quickly!
The parents should have this person arrested for kidnapping and sue the school for letting someone other then the parents or Grandfather take the kid out of school.
What an outrage,that legal parents get arrested for protecting their children.
I wonder if this is the abortion clinic that it happened at? A minor has to have parental consent for a pill but NOT a surgical procedure!
This country has lost its collective mind!
I say we go with the flow and abort unwanted liberals.
I don't know the law in Illinois but it appears that the police, the abortion clinic and the school may all be looking at HUGE lawsuits?
Even more shocking is that this 14-yr-old can't get her ears pierced or go to a tanning salon without her mom's permission. But hey - killing a baby, no problem.
bttt

When are statutory rape charges going to be filed against this "man"? When are charges for destroying evidence going to be filed against the abortuary?
Democrats are The Death Party.
Too bad the rape charge is stale. It would be immensely pleasurable to see both the sperm donor and his evil mother put into general populations.
Heaven forbid if she got her ears pierced without her parents permission!!!
Agreed!
They would have had to drag me out of there with an army of officers!
UN-f**king-believeable.
The liberals have won. We are a death-culture.
We no longer have any moral authority to condemn Islam.
And the mother gets arrested for it
Unbelievable
by the mother of the man allegedly to have impregnated the 14-year old
Sounds like the prick is about 18 or so. Maybe 19 or 20. No wonder mom wants to cover his tracks by killing her grandkid.
