"They just told her that if she concealed it from her family, that it would be free of charge and no financial responsibility."
This makes me so sad and angry. The ongoing fact that a minor cannot get an aspirin in school yet can be sent for a life altering abortion without anyone in her family knowing, in fact, with encouragement not to tell her family.
The complete disregard for the mental well being of this teen and the damage this action has caused to her family is beyond expression. They say they are protecting the girls privacy..it is amazing that it is only abortion we do this with…where are her privacy rights if she does anything else?
Pray for her and her family…I have met way too many teens who have hidden an abortion from family and live in despair and depression without their parents knowing what happened. Hopefully this girl will get the help and love she needed from the beginning, from people who love her, instead of strangers who have no business being involved.
I hope this family finds a way to sue the school district…
Pray for them…
Mother furious after in-school clinic sets up daughter's abortion
The mother of a Ballard High
School student is fuming after the health center on campus helped
facilitate her daughter's abortion during school hours.
The mother, whom KOMO News has chosen to identify only as "Jill," says the clinic kept the information "confidential."
When she signed a consent form, Jill figured it meant her
15-year-old could go to the Ballard Teen Health Center located inside
the high school for an earache, a sports physical, even birth control,
but not for help terminating a pregnancy.
"She took a pregnancy test at school at the teen health center," she
said. "Nowhere in this paperwork does it mention abortion or
facilitating abortion."
Jill says her daughter, a pro-life advocate, was given a pass, put
in a taxi and sent off to have an abortion during school hours, all
without her family knowing.
"We had no idea this was being facilitated on campus," said Jill.
"They just told her that if she concealed it from her family, that it
would be free of charge and no financial responsibility."
The Seattle School District says it doesn't run the health clinics
at high schools. Swedish Medical Center runs the clinic at Ballard High
and protects the students' privacy.
