Court Rules 12-year-old Girl Can Get Abortion
An Alabama state court says a 12-year-old girl who was impregnated by a relative will be allowed to get an abortion without a parent’s consent.
Yesterday, the Alabama Civil Court of Appeals ruled in favor of a girl seeking a waiver from a state law that requires minors receive parental consent before having an abortion. The decision says a relative currently charged with statutory rape got the girl pregnant, and the girl was removed from her home after her mother reacted violently. The girl doesn’t know her father.
The girl had sought a waiver from the parental consent law in order to receive an abortion, but a district attorney objected. A family court judge approved the waiver last month, and the appellate court has now agreed.

The fact that the district attorney objected to the waiver granted by the lower court is sickening.

12 year old who is abandoned by her father, beaten by her mother and raped and impregnated by relative
A District Attorney and state governmental system all along the way until it reaches the Civil Court of Appeals, tries to prevent her from a constitutional right for a medical procedure to terminate that pregnancy resulting from a rape.
Next thing we find out, the system took their sweet ass time and wouldn't surprise me if they will claim its now a late-term abortion and should be prevented.
I feel sick....everyone in her short life has failed her. Thankfully the Appeals Court ruled correctly.
I hope she has a safe procedure and recovery and that there are some other people out there that will protect and help this 12 year old child have a future that won't be so cruel to her.
