Abortions For Your Child, Without Your Knowledge Or Your Consent? Beyond Unacceptable.

Welcome to liberal America! It’s a new country! Full of change, hope, and a government that wants to take care of you — not like those mean, old Republicans who want you to take care of yourself. When there are tough decisions to be made, don’t worry, we’ll spare you all that hard work:

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.”

…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.

…But Jill says she not only didn’t have a say in her daughter’s abortion, but also didn’t know about it.

“Makes me feel like my rights were completely stripped away.”

When I put myself in the place of that mother and think about what my first reaction would be….it’s so far off the scales, I can’t even see the scales from there. If I had a 15 year old daughter and someone facilitated the death of my grandchild without my knowing about it? Without my having a chance to talk to her about it?

Under the best of circumstances, abortion is extremely controversial. When you start bringing underage kids into it, without their parents consent, and the end result is a dead baby, you’re not just playing with fire, you’re diving into a volcano — and eventually, one of those volcanos is going to erupt.

What was done here was not only immoral, it was extraordinarily provocative, should definitely be illegal, and it needs to be discontinued.
