"I have a nursing background. I assure you that this could be true. Children have no options"

They do indeed have options. a fifteen y/o girl has the right to refuse any invasive procedure in an emergency room situation. This scenario would have raised red flags all over the place! There would have been doctors, nurses, social workers and child advocates all over this! Pregnancy is not a life threatening situation. Now if this child was in need of a life saving procedure or medication - force could be used via parental consent. If this child needed stitches to stop bleeding - force could be used via parental consent. But force would have not been used to abort a baby in the E.D. - She would have been referred out. Not only referred out - this child would have been interviewed alone by several people and possibly admitted to insure that this was not an abuse case.

You've got to be kidding. Maybe at your hospital, but there are some very nasty places out there where unethical and immoral but LEGAL things are done all the time. It depends on the physician and I've seen a lot. Don't be naive.

In a perfect world!

I hope we can verify this story, one way or the other, but I don't doubt for a second that the abortionists are capable of this.
