Abortion Access: Deposition and Liberties Union

abortion access: The American Civil Liberties Union, which released Lloyd's deposition, has sued the government alleging that it is unlawfully restricting minors from having abortions, according to Metro News. Lloyd said in the deposition that he had not approved any abortions since becoming ORR director in March 2017. Scott Lloyd, the director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement, gave a deposition in December as part of an ongoing lawsuit over abortion access for immigrant minors. That has led to several instances where the ACLU has gone to court on behalf of pregnant teens. In December, a federal judge allowed two other teens to have abortions, and a fourth minor who wanted an abortion was released in January and became free to obtain one on her own. An immigrant teen in Texas obtained an abortion in October after a federal appeals court overruled ORR's objections. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
