“Where the government bulldozed over constitutional lines,” she wrote, was its position that the girl had “the burden of extracting herself from custody if she wants to exercise the right to an abortion that the government does not dispute she has.”
She is in CUSTODY, therefore she cannot exercise this right since she has “the burden of extracting herself from custody...to exercise the right to an abortion....” Tough work for a 17 year old.
See my post above.
Let me give you an example of what she is trying to achieve, but from a different angle.
This girl has the RIGHT to get pregnant, right? On this, we can all agree.
She is in State custody for violating the law (and for being a MINOR). On this, we can all agree.
Since conjugal visits are AGAINST State law! This girl is trying to get State and Federal judges to tell the jail, in which she is housed, that they must allow her to go get pregnant because she has a RIGHT to get pregnant - with or without parental consent!
