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.
Who lobbied for those laws, the retail furniture industry? And where in particular are these bogus laws in effect?
In order to cover up a crime committed by her son.
Exactly.
Isn't it the case that someone needs to give consent in order for any type of surgery to be performed?
Who gave the consent in this case for the abortion?
The 14-year-old? Hard to believe, because 14-year-old girls are not legally able to give consent to surgery.
Your support at this uneasy time could be a major turning point in your relationship with your child.
Studies have shown young women are more likely to experience a favorable outcome after an abortion if their parents are supportive. It's also known that women under age 22,were more heavily influenced emotionally by parents' support than by a male partner's support. At Hope Clinic we also hear from our young clients."
Also from the same insane site.

(Insert a very long stream of curse words here.)
They'd taser you until your heart stopped.
The rape charge can only be stale because the clinic destroyed the evidence.
I don't think she was kidnapped if she willingly went with the woman.
Probably not kidnapping, because presumably the girl went with her willingly. But certainly interfering with the custody of a child.
I don't know what the statute of limitations on a rape charge would be there, but I bet it isn't a matter of days. I'd pursue it anyway.
California. And you guessed it, the PETA types.
I'm guessing the girl cooperated in the ruse.
WTF?? Rape, statutory or otherwise, has a longer shelf-life than 7 weeks. And what school official let her out without checking who came to get her and who was authorized? My son's school is like Fort Knox. Especially since 9-11.
Score one for those hell bent on death.
Revolting. Disgusting. Disturbing.
How do the cops involved in Shiavo, this abortion juggernaut, and other such wrongdoings live with themselves?
Uh, yeah. That would have been my first thought, too.
Is there something missing from this story?
I doubt it. More likely for something like "disorderly conduct".
Shocking does not describe it. There is not a word strong enought to describe the atrocity that took place here. These people are murderers and deserve to fry in Hell.

That woman isn't her parent. It's kidnapping.
Just remember the nice policeman is your friend. This is proof positive they really do not care about the citizens, they are just putting in time to get their bag of gold.
Yes indeed.
