Which is AGAINST state law. The law says that a minor must get parental consent.
A minor can get a judicial bypass, if they can convince a judge that it is in their best interest to NOT involve a parent (not the case), or if they can prove they are mature enough to make adult decisions without their parents consent (and are aware of all of her options).
That second one CAN NOT BE POSSIBLE in a reasonable person’s mind: she traveled, ALONE, PREGNANT, to commit a CRIME by ILLEGALLY entering the United States, through drug-infested areas of Mexico. That doesn’t sound like something a mature person, making adult-like decisions would make!
So, the judge is ordering the State to Violate STATE LAW!
This whole case is just another way to try and break the Texas Abortion Laws...another way to break down our barriers to allow women to murder their own children!
She already got a judicial bypass from a Texas judge.
For those who failed to exercise their Constitutional right to read the entire article, this quote from Judge Millet may clarify their thinking. “The government has insisted that it may categorically blockade exercise of her constitutional right unless this child (like some kind of legal Houdini) figures her own way out of detention” by returning home “to the abuse from which she fled” or by finding a sponsor, Millet said. “That is constitutionally untenable, as the en banc court agrees.” So, it appears that the en banc court agreed that she had a right to flee abuse (details sealed by the court) and get an abortion here (since it is apparently illegal in Catholic Mexico).
So some questions. Since details are sealed how can we know that it is her “best interest to NOT involve a parent (not the case).” We don’t know if it was her parent(s) abusing her or allowing her abuse, or selling here body to others or whatever. We the public have no information about her case. Perhaps she made a MATURE decision to escape a horrible situation, or a pregnancy by rape. Perhaps traveling ALONE through Drug-infested areas of Mexico was a MATURE decision compared with staying in her home situation. We don’t KNOW, the facts are sealed by the court. Perhaps you or the people (men) in Texas are against any abortions for fear that if you/they raped someone, the victim would have the right to remove your/their parasite from her body.
If I sound so militant on the subject it is because I have counseled people who had a drunk mother who didn’t notice that one son was forcing the other son to be raped by a dog, or because a woman’s abuse started with a rape at age two and was eventually sexually abused by both parents, all brothers and their friends. So yes I am angry and don’t plan to stop being angry when people are abused/neglected by those they should trust AND the law, which fortunately in this case was corrected by the en bank court.
