It’s odd the way choice and liberty and autonomy and making one’s own decisions are usually core values for Republicans and conservatives. Of course those values are often in tension with other core Republican / conservative values that come from the goddy wing, like obedience and deference and respect for tradition / hierarchy / the sacred…but they are core values nevertheless.

Or maybe they’re really core values only for men, while the goddy ones are more suited to women. Real Men™ make their own decisions while Real Women™ obey Real Men™ and clerics and Mr God.

But even so, it’s a little odd for a political orientation that is so strongly libertarian, often at the expense of concern for the general welfare, to be so adamantly indifferent to such a complete violation of personal autonomy as forced pregnancy. Imagine being told that a state employee was going to inject you with a fetus that you were required to carry to term and then push painfully out. Major violation of human rights, no? But once the state employee with the needle is out of the picture, that becomes no longer clear.

But it should be clear. We have to live in our bodies; we have no choice. Pregnancy is a major disruption of a body that someone lives in, so if she decides she doesn’t want to do that with her body, that should be decisive.

Anyway. Jane Doe got her abortion at last.

An undocumented teen in federal custody ended her pregnancy Wednesday morning less than a day after a judge’s order forced the government to allow the 17-year-old to be promptly transferred to an abortion facility.

The announcement from the teenager’s attorneys puts an end to a case that raised difficult political questions and highlighted the Trump administration’s new policy of refusing to “facilitate” abortions for unaccompanied minors.

The Trump administration’s evil new policy of torturing undocumented girls and women who need abortions.

“Justice prevailed today for Jane Doe. But make no mistake about it, the administration’s efforts to interfere in women’s decisions won’t stop with Jane,” said Brigitte Amiri, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project which represented the teen.

The ACLU is continuing its broader challenge to the administration’s new policy on behalf of what the organization says are hundreds of undocumented pregnant teenagers in federal custody.

The administration of President Pussygrabber who is accused of sexual assault by multiple women. He’s getting his revenge.
