The Florida courts don't have any choice.

The State cannot interfere in a woman's right to abortion. It may seek to influence and shape her choice, but it may not preclude her from making that choice, Casey v. Planned Parenthood.

Under Florida law, there can't even be a parental notification requirement, North Florida Women's Health and Counselling Services, Inc. et al v. State of Florida, 866 So.2d 612 (2003).

What about the baby?

However, who got the 12 year old pregnant? Shouldn't there be rape charges and the baby's remains held for DNA evidence to establish paternity.

Such is the law. Doesn't mean I like it.

I disagreed with you on Schaivo - I still do - but this is one where we see eye to eye. It's a tragedy, but its the only way it could have come out under modern Constitutional law.
