Court Rules 16-YO Foster Child Cannot Have An Abortion

Posted by Sandra On October - 9 - 2013

article-2449515-1A8B6740000005DC-251_306x423A Nebraskan appeal court has banned a 16-year-old foster girl from having an abortion – forcing her instead into a position of teenage motherhood. The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, brought the appeal case to court after an initial ruling in July by a lower court where Douglas County District Judge Peter Bataillon refused her the right to choose an abortion. Then a majority vote of 5-2 in the Supreme Court upheld this decision. The case has caused a flurry of reaction online, with one legal expert pointing out that in this case judges are using their judicial influence to promote their own ideology with disregard to the dire consequences for the most vulnerable. In Nebraska, a person under the age of 18 must obtain written, notarised  consent from a parent or guardian before undergoing an abortion.
