NEW: DC Circuit Court of Appeals: Trump admin. cannot prevent pregnant undocumented minors from access to an abortion while in federal custody.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday said the Trump administration cannot deny pregnant undocumented minors in federal custody access to abortion.
The judges said court precedent holds that"a person has a constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy before fetal viability, and the government cannot unduly burden her decision." The legal back-and-forth stems from the case of a 17-year-old girl, identified in legal documents as"Jane Doe," who arrived by herself in the United States in 2017.
She obtained an abortion after suing the government in federal court. The Supreme Court last year decided the litigation could continue in lower courts to decide the fate of other undocumented pregnant minors.
