@teeby The article stated the hospital visit was how her guardian found out. Her boyfriend took her to the clinic and hospital. This must have been terrifying for both. My heart goes out to this young girl.

Second and Third trimester (after 12 weeks) abortions require dilation and evaluation (D and E), pose more complications as pregnancy progresses and additional procedure cost. Heavy bleeding is a common side effect.

Later-Term Abortion: Procedure, Eligibility, Costs, Recovery, More

Later-term abortions typically occur during the 13th and 27th week, or second trimester, of pregnancy. Here’s what to expect from the procedure.

I saw that but I thought her parents had met her at the hospital or been contacted by the hospital or something like that -- I don't think they would treat and discharge a child without making contact with her parents/guardian at all? Obviously in an emergency they will just do what needs to be done medically speaking, but when things are a little more stabilized, I have to think they would want to contact the parents, if only to get permission to bill the insurance. I assumed the hospital had learned in that process that the parents/guardian didn't know about the abortion.

Thank you. There have been several links on the thread so it's difficult to know unless it's specifically referenced.

I had missed the part where the teenage girl "almost died".

She almost died and that Perez and the girl's guardian/uncle didn't contact CPS and authorities I find mindboggeling.
Instead Perez played whac-a-mole with the school for 3 years.
Perez surely didn't have any concern that other girl's lives could also be put in danger.

Whoa - so this is the first we are hearing the abortion was against the student's wishes. The social worker wasn't even there! Teh student's "adult" boyfriend took her!

Those are highly questionable allegations at this point. I've read several interviews given by Ms. Perez and this idea of forced abortion has never before been suggested by anyone. I don't doubt the social worker was trying to help students that came to her with their pregnancy scares. She may have even encouraged abortion as the best outcome. But I don't believe, in these alleged instances, that anyone was forced to do anything.

I agree that Ms. Perez was not concerned other students were in danger. If she thought there was actual danger, she should have screamed it from the rooftops. That is very different from trying to get the administration to react to your allegations.

I absolutely believe there is a student that had an abortion with the assistance of the social worker. It may not be the only student she has helped obtain an abortion; she may be known to the students for this (total speculation; I don't even believe it).

But Perez clearly wasn't trying to stop it or she would not have taken three years to bring the information to the attention of someone outside the school.

I like to think the social worker did what she thought was best for the student. I know that's naive, but someone please explain to me why she would arrange an abortion for the student if she didn't think that was the option the student wanted? The student that wrote the note claiming to have had an abortion wasn't complaining as far as I could tell - just documenting her statement at Ms. Perez's request, I assume.

I think it's also convenient the student and guardian in question have apparently been deported. I haven't read anything about the currently location of the 2nd student mentioned.

Humans have a tendency to human fairly often. In short, one does not need to be, say the proverbial religious fundamentalists to start imposing their beliefs on others.

This imposing of beliefs can be done via steered or slanted religious teachings directed at a vulnerable person, or.... steered or slanted say, counseling directed at a vulnerable person.

I have no idea if that occurred here. I am firmly convinced, however, that a human having the profession of 'social worker', or having socio political beliefs "A" instead of say, "B" has the exact same potential to "human" in regards to fairness as anybody else.
