Trump administration releases pregnant, undocumented teen to get abortion

Source: Vice

Just days after yet another pregnant, undocumented teenager accused the Trump administration of blocking her from getting an abortion, the administration released the teen from federal custody.

The teenager, known only as “Jane Moe” in court records, filed paperwork Thursday alleging that the Office of Refugee Resettlement was refusing to allow her to get an abortion. The Office oversees all minors who enter the country without their parents and without authorization.

In response, the Trump administration said Friday that it planned to release Moe out of its custody and into the care of a sponsor, which would allow her to get an abortion. The plan had been to release her by Friday, Jan. 26.

Instead, Moe was freed Sunday.

... this will play well with the hypocritical side of the Right (the majority). I wish I could hold out hope people who were against abortion would criticize him, but I can't.

After all, "abortion is bad unless the baby would be an anchor baby" is probably closer to most anti-choicer's sentiments, particularly how they only care about the "pre-born".
