A 16 year old Texas girl has won a restraining order against her parents, who were trying to force her to have an abortion. Even the pro-choice crowd should support this. If it’s about the choice, then she should be allowed hers, shouldn’t she?

From LifeNews

“The parents of a Texas teenager have been, at least temporarily, stopped from pressuring their daughter to have an abortion. The teen girl is suing her parents to stop them from making her have an abortion.

Attorneys with The Center for Defense of Life have filed suit on behalf of the 16-year-old expectant mom who says her parents are trying to force her to have an abortion of a baby she wants to keep. The teenager is two months pregnant and asking a judge to stop her parents from making her have an abortion by coercing her with verbal and physical threats and by harassment.”

“Yesterday, the pro-life attorneys representing her obtained a temporary restraining order from the 215th District Court of Harris County, Texas. This court order prohibits the parents of their 16-year-old client from coercing her to have an abortion against her will.”

We’ve talked about the recent death of a woman at the hands of abortionist LeRoy Carhart, and the Hollywood movie praising him and his cohorts in the late-term abortion industry. Now we find out more about some of his other supporters. Not surprising either, given the Secretary’s love of all things abortion related. People like this are exactly the type of people she’d like to see benefit from ObamaCare abortion provisions and coverage.

“The pro-life organization that has been on the forefront of exposing the details surrounding the botched 33-week abortion that killed a New York woman last week says the abortion practitioner responsible is linked to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.”

“Operation Rescue obtained photographs of a secret party held by Sebelius in 2007 while serving as Governor of Kansas that honored late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller and his entire abortion clinic staff. Carhart and his wife, Mary Lou, were present at that party, which was held while they were under investigation by the State Attorney General’s office for suspected illegal late-term abortions, the group says.

Operation Rescue also has documentation that indicates Sebelius interfered in a medical board investigation into the death of another of Carhart’s third-trimester abortion patients, Christin Gilbert, on January 13, 2005.

Meanwhile, President Obama continues to do all he can to export abortion to the world. And of course, steer even more taxpayer money the abortionists way.

From LifeSiteNews

“A Presidential Memorandum issued last month by President Obama under the guise of gender equality and women’s empowerment will be used to advance sexual and reproductive health, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights overseas, as well as the promotion of abortion.

Abortion activists applauded the president’s directive “Coordination of Policies and Programs to Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women and Girls Globally,” as a means to ensure that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s work on sexual and reproductive health and rights remains a priority in U.S. foreign policy and development assistance.

“Global abortion groups have long called for sexual and reproductive health care to be integrated into all levels of U.S. foreign assistance. These groups complain that sexual and reproductive health programs have been segregated – or “siloed” – into different offices, agencies, and funding mechanisms. The president’s directive will help facilitate this change and create a rise in funding for sexual and reproductive health – an amount abortion groups demand skyrocket to $1 billion annually.”
