The administration of US President Donald Trump has said it bars abortions for refugee minors who were raped because it is in their “best interest”.
According to court documents in the case of a 17-year-old alleged rape victim in federal detention who tried to get an abortion, the head of the US Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and noted anti-abortion activist E. Scott Lloyd said in a memo: "I am convinced that assisting with an abortion in this case is not in her best interest.”

Millions of people all over the world dream about living in the most advanced country in the world where someone like Roy Moore almost became a U.S. Senator, where rape victims can be barred from abortions by religious nuts, and where millions of religious fanatics would be delighted to turn their country into a Christian version of Saudi Arabia.
1. Sexual misconduct: Scandals involving sexual misdeeds by prominent men are nothing new in America, but there's never been anything remotely like the deluge of allegations unleashed this year by women who were emboldened to speak out by the accusers who preceded them. Luminaries toppled from their perches included movie magnate Harvey Weinstein, media stars Bill O'Reilly, Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose, and several celebrity chefs and members of Congress.

Almost ?
A rapist named Bill Clinton became president.
Not helping the cause with selective history.
In June 2011, Roy Moore suggested on a radio show that getting rid of constitutional amendments after the Tenth would solve many issues in the way the US government is structured.
"That would eliminate many problems," Moore said after one of the hosts of the "Aroostook Watchmen" suggested it. "You know people don't understand how some of these amendments have completely tried to wreck the form of government that our forefathers intended."
Moore singled out the 17th Amendment, according to an audio file obtained by CNN's KFile, which calls for the direct election of US Senators. (A complaint he mentioned on Sunday during an unrelated interview ahead of Tuesday's special Senate election on Alabama.) He also took issue with the 14th Amendment, which was passed after the Civil War and guarantees citizenship, equal rights and protection under the law to former slaves, claiming it put undue restrictions on the states.

It's not a problem endemic of a single side.

Why should US taxpayers foot the bill for her abortion?
If she's in federal detention, it sounds like she's an illegal immigrant to me. Calling her a "refuge" doesn't entitle her to my tax dollars.
Over the wall!

Illegal immigrants should not be given abortions on tax payer dime.

Is it liberal insanity??
Or has the right wing media just done a masterful job of painting their opponents with the propaganda brush????
Are you mad at actual liberal policies, or what the Fox newstypes are telling us they want to do??
For example..
Colin Kapernick knees to protest police brutality/accountability toward black people BECOMES , those who kneel hate the military!!
The democrats say they want to ban the NEW sale of assault rifles , leaving the millions in circulation still perfectly legal due to a grandfather clause BECOMES, they want to repeal the second amendment and go door to door confiscating all the guns!
I’m not saying the liberals are perfect, or benevolent, exc..
but in most cases the beliefs rightwing media assign to the left are not real..
They take individual cases of random college kids or Facebook commentors with zero authority and pretend they speak for all liberals..
It’s an old , old, old demagogue trick politicians have been using since Athens..
It’s things like these that make me just rabidly anti-conservative propaganda..
