Family Stopped From Forcing Teen Girl to Have Abortion
Attorneys with Texas Center for Defense of Life representing a 14-year-old girl secured a temporary restraining order yesterday from a Texas court that blocks several of her family members from forcing her to have an abortion against her will.
The teenager's family members had scheduled an appointment for her to have the abortion at a local Corpus Christi clinic this week. The girl has been under intense pressure to have the abortion, was physically assaulted last week by one family member, and has been prevented from attending school.
The unborn child's teenage father and his mother also do not want the baby killed and have supported the girl's decision to keep the child. The court order prohibits the girl's family members "either directly or indirectly from forcing her to have an abortion against her will," which includes taking her to any abortion clinic. Ref.

Wow talk about family problems. I think this will drive a pretty good wedge between her and he family, sad. On the upside good for her for sticking to her guns and not going threw with it. She obviously is not wanting to and stood up to her own family even, good for her.
This is so sad. I am sure that girl is so stressed out right now. She wants to do the right thing but having the baby but yet I am sure she is scared since her family wants her to have an abortion.
