Teenage girl and her unborn baby survive forced abortion attempt

A Louisiana 17-year-old Cerencro girl was force-fed abortion drugs by her very own father at only 23 weeks gestation. Incredibly, the baby was born alive weighing around one pound and currently remains hospitalized. Naturally, the baby requires extensive medical care.

Erica Inzina, J.D., Policy Director for Louisiana Right to Life, issued the following statement:

“Our hearts break for this young mother and her baby. This 17-year-old girl was allegedly poisoned with abortion drugs by her own father, a shocking violation of her dignity and her right to protect both herself and her unborn child.

This tragedy reinforces a crisis in our state and nation that the abortion industry and its allies would rather ignore: abortion drugs are being used as a weapon against women and girls. When these substances are freely available and deliberately detached from medical oversight, they become tools for abusers, traffickers, and predators seeking to exert control over the vulnerable.

Thankfully, both victims, the girl and her unborn child, survived. Her baby was born alive at just 23 weeks gestation, weighing only one pound. Now that child is fighting for life in the NICU and will require ongoing medical care because of what was done to them. The world can plainly see a baby whose life was targeted by abortion and survived.

Every person responsible for this act must be held fully accountable. No woman should ever be forced to take abortion drugs against her will, and no child should ever suffer because someone else decided that his or her life was disposable.”

The Louisiana Right to Life asks all Louisianans to join them in praying for this young mother, for her child, and for the medical professionals working tirelessly to care for them.

At this time, it is unclear as to what charges, if any, are being initiated against the teen's father, but it certainly is appropriate that he should be charged with attempted murder of a human being.
