Judge allows out of state abortion for 12 year old
Mount Clemens Michigan probate judge clears the way for the 12 year old girl, allegedly raped by her 17 year old brother, to go out of state for a late term abortion. The petition to take temporary custody was withdrawn, after a prior order barred travel until a psychological evaluation. The girl is about 28 weeks pregnant. Michigan restricts abortion after 24 weeks unless life endangers the mother, while Kansas offers limited access under other circumstances.
