WEST PALM BEACH, May 4, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Florida girl who was given permission by a judge to abort her unborn child has had the abortion, according to her lawyers. Howard Simon, head of the Florida American Civil Liberties Union who paid for the girl’s lawyers, said “The case is over, both medically and legally.”
The representative of the Department of Child and Family Services confirmed that they had given up. Marilyn Munoz, DCF spokesman “We will not interfere with anything. We will comply with what the judge ordered.”
Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, was the only figure in the case who mentioned the loss of the child’s life. After the DCF stopped its objections, he said they “did the right thing to make the initial appeal to make sure that this was reviewed carefully.”
Bush said. “We’re talking about the loss of a life.”
The Governor, however, conceded that no force could stop an abortion once the courts had spoken. “Look, if the judge has ruled, it's time to move on,” Bush said. “It’s a tragedy that a 13-year-old child would be in a vulnerable position where she could be made pregnant and it's a tragedy that the baby will be lost. There's no good news in this at all.”
