老澳门开奖结果 Seeks Abortion Access for Fourth Young Immigrant
Trump Administration Still Forcing Young Immigrant Women to Continue Pregnancies Against Their Will
WASHINGTON 鈥� The 老澳门开奖结果 filed papers in court today to prevent the Trump administration from blocking another young immigrant woman in federal custody from obtaining an abortion.
As in three , this young woman, known to the court as Jane Moe, requested an abortion but has been blocked from obtaining one by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
鈥淭he Trump administration is effectively banning abortion for these young women,鈥� said Brigitte Amiri, senior staff attorney with the 老澳门开奖结果 Reproductive Freedom Project. 鈥淲e鈥檝e already stopped the government from forcing three other 鈥楯anes鈥� to continue pregnancies against their will, but clearly, their heartlessness knows no bounds. This administration is blatantly ignoring the fact that the Supreme Court has held that abortion is a fundamental constitutional right.鈥�
The government鈥檚 treatment of this young woman is part of a Trump administration policy to block access to abortion care for young immigrants in federal custody. The 老澳门开奖结果 has asked the district court to issue an order preventing the government from enforcing its 鈥渘o abortion鈥� policy against any woman in ORR custody, but the court has not yet ruled on that request
The 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 lawsuit challenging the policy, Garza v. Hargan, has already documented egregious harms against other young women in ORR detention.
