Several Republican lawmakers chastised the Biden administration after the White House promoted a site that helps pregnant teens obtain an abortion while advising them on how to avoid notifying their parents. Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a press release directly responding to the Supreme Court ruling which overturned Roe v.
The website pointed to by the White House and HHS provides information to women, including teens, on how and where to obtain an abortion.
- Users provide information on their last period and their zip code, and AbortionFinder.org will provide tips to the expectant mothers as well as the addresses of local abortion providers.
The site addresses teen pregnancy and advises that those who wish to do so can avoid the need for consent from their parents
- Some states require people under 18 to involve a parent or guardian when getting an abortion.
- If you need to avoid involving a parent/guardian, contact the If/When/How Judicial Bypass Helpline for information about getting a judicial bypass.
Lawmakers Outraged
- Several GOP lawmakers lashed out at the Biden administration for encouraging teenagers to circumvent their parents during a highly emotional and life-altering decision
- House Republican Conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik, according to Fox News, slammed the White House and insisted they "should be ashamed for helping minors bypass their parents to abort an unborn child."
- Representative Lisa McClain (R-MI) also hammered the administration over the site's promotion
- The White House advocating for underage loopholes in getting an abortion is beyond sickening
