Undocumented Teenager Obtains Abortion After Battle with Trump Administration

HeadlineOct 26, 2017

The undocumented teenager whom the Trump administration attempted to prevent from having an abortion has finally obtained the procedure—after having to fight the federal government for a month. The 17-year-old, known as Jane Doe, is detained in a refugee resettlement shelter. She had the abortion on Wednesday after a U.S. appeals court ruled in her favor. We’ll have more on her case later in the broadcast.
