Forced Abortions in America?

This is sick.....

This week, reporters broke the story of a young girl in the Pennsylvania foster care program who became pregnant. When the state Department of Human Services (DHS) found out, they asked for a family court order approving the state to take her in for an abortion-despite the fact that her mom refused to consent. By that time, the girl was 24-weeks pregnant.

"Although it is DHS policy that a state worker accompany any minor who has a court-ordered medical procedure, this did not happen on the girl's first attempt to have the abortion." Instead, she was smuggled to New Jersey for the appointment--alone. Because the young mom didn't have the proper paperwork, she had to return a second time for the abortion--this time with a state government worker, who ensured that the baby never came home. Apparently, that employee didn't bother to contact the girl's foster mom, who panicked when she didn't return from school that day. When she walked through the door at 8:30 that night, her foster mom asked her "what happened?" The girl replied, "The baby is dead."

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, "The teen told her that [DHS worker Cynthia] Brown had taken her out of school to get an abortion in New Jersey." As for conscience rights of those involved? Forget it. The girl's original social worker was fired for refusing to participate in the abortion. "They hired me to work in child protection, not to kill children," she said. And while the state insists it didn't pay for the abortion (the city of Mayfair did), a state worker did accompany her and most likely paid for her transportation. Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated incident. Of the 335 girls who became pregnant under DHS's care, almost a third abort--and nearly half of those are done by a judge's order.
