Oh goodie, now we get to pay for abortions for illegal alien minors caught by ICE. Three left wing activist judges ruled against a Trump policy prohibiting tax payer funding of abortions. Now, not only will your tax dollars be funding welfare, health care and food stamps for illegal aliens, but also for their abortions.

The United States Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that the Trump administration cannot prevent an unaccompanied illegal alien minor from obtaining an abortion while in federal custody. The three-judge panel said “the government cannot unduly burden the ability of a woman to obtain an abortion under established Supreme Court precedent,” Reuters reported.
“We are unanimous in rejecting the government’s position that its denial of abortion access can be squared with Supreme Court precedent,” the opinion said, ABC News reported.
The case came about as a result of a 17-year-old girl – referred to only as “Jane Doe” in legal papers – who came to the United States illegally in 2017 and was in custody under the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement. Their shelters announced back in March 2017 that they were “prohibited from taking any action that facilitates an abortion without direction and approval from the Director.”
The girl in the case successfully sued the White House and obtained an abortion. Her name and nationality were not disclosed.
According to the Appellate Court’s decision, the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s policy “functions as an across-the-board ban on access to abortion.”
