U.S. court rules against Trump administration in immigrant teen abortion case
June 14, 2019
By Mica Rosenberg
(Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court ruled on Friday that the U.S. government cannot deny access to abortions for unaccompanied immigrant minors in federal custody, delivering a blow to a Trump administration policy.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a lower court decision that found the government cannot unduly burden the ability of a woman to obtain an abortion under established Supreme Court precedent.

Hasn't the three man panel ruled against Federal Law? The law says federal money cannot be used to finance abortions but this panel has just ruled an abortion can't be denied but how many 17 year olds from Mejico have money for it? That means the government will have to pay for it. :pondering:
