Ban Abortion: Law Student and Court District

ban abortion: A lawyer for the U.S. Department of Justice, Peter Phipps, said at a hearing Wednesday that the government might propose having Jane Doe's case heard in Texas or Washington, D.C. Brigitte Amiri, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU, said the group hadn't decided its next step, but would continue to fight for the girl's right to an abortion, according to Metro News. A first-year law student understands that it is unconstitutional for the government to ban abortion, she said. The ruling allows the girl's attorneys to file a new lawsuit seeking the same order in another federal court district. The legal claim is pretty straightforward. The girl may be up to 14 weeks' pregnant, Rochelle Garza, a lawyer appointed to represent the girl's legal interests, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The ACLU says the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is refusing to let the girl be taken for an abortion. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
