Trump Opposition: Girls and Abortion

trump opposition: Both girls arrived in the country as unaccompanied minors and are being held in federal shelters, though it is not known precisely where, according to The Chronicle Herald. The American Civil Liberties Union went to court on behalf of the two girls, as it did in the case of a third 17-year-old girl who was able to obtain an abortion in October following a high-profile court fight. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the Republican administration can't prevent the 17-year-old girls from exercising their right to an abortion. The current controversy stems from the Trump administration's opposition to abortion and its decision to change the policy of the Obama administration concerning minors who are detained trying to enter the country. One teen is about 10 weeks pregnant, and the other is now about 22 weeks pregnant, Chutkan said. Earlier this year, the office in the Health and Human Services Department that oversees the shelters prohibited them from taking steps to facilitate an abortion without its direct approval.
