(CNSNews.com) – The National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF), who last month raised over $400,000 for abortions through its Bowl-a-Thon, touted that it provided money for a 14-year-old’s abortion as part of the group’s “real stories of abortion access.”
On its website in a post entitled, “Getting an abortion means getting a second chance,” NNAF highlights the story of Darcy, a 14-year-old who terminated her pregnancy with the help of the group’s “George Tiller Memorial Fund.”
“I’m pretty smart for 14, I think,” Darcy writes. “I love biology, especially the stuff on animals. I’m pretty sure I’m going to be a vet — I definitely want to start my own practice so that I make enough money and when I have kids I can be home with them,” she said.
After finding out she was pregnant, the girl writes she did not want to tell her mother, “But in the state where I live, minors can’t get an abortion without permission from a parent or a judge,” she said. “So I did end up telling her.”
Darcy said a clinic put her in touch with NNAF because the “abortion was going to cost more than our rent.”

Sterilize the kid if she’s already having kids at that age
“Getting an abortion is getting a second chance?” Maybe for Darcy but the poor baby doesn’t even get a first chance.
If she’s “pretty smart” and into biology, why did she allow herself to get pregnant?! If I went through my teens and young adulthood being sexually active but pregnancy-free, anyone can do it! Oh, sorry, that would involve being responsible for yourself. Never mind.
This proves we do not need Planned Parenthood, which really amounts to abortion clinics, especially for the black community. We are paying for genocide with our tax dollars and that is atrocious!
Government should not be involved in such issues anyway.
