WASHINGTON, D.C. - An Obama-nominated federal judge ordered the U.S. government to pay for an undocumented illegal immigrant teenager's abortion at taxpayer expense in Texas. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered the government to transport the teenager to have the abortion - or allow her guardian to transport her - "promptly and without delay."
The Justice Department has appealed the case, asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to suspend Judge Chutkan's ruling regarding the 17-year-old, who crossed the border from Mexico.
