The Biden administration issued a new policy memo through the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) instructing agents to make sure that unaccompanied minors who enter the U.S. are given access to abortions — government-funded abortions — even if the minor has to be transported to another state.
In the six-page “field guidance” document, government agents dealing with the disposition of unaccompanied migrant children are ordered to “make all reasonable efforts” to provide an abortion to any migrant who requests one.
And, since many states have outlawed or severely restricted the murder of unborn children, the memo covers that possible obstacle to ending the life of an innocent baby, too:
This may involve transporting a minor to a state in which abortion is lawful and available, if the minor is currently in a state in which abortion is not lawful or available.
More from this despicable Biden administration edict:
This Field Guidance confirms that ORR staff and care providers must not prevent UC [unaccompanied children] from accessing legal abortion-related services and that ORR staff and care providers must make all reasonable efforts to facilitate access to these services if requested by the [unaccompanied child].
We’ve come to the place where not only is the federal government ignoring the Supreme Court’s ruling that abortion is not a right protected by the U.S. Constitution, but it is overtly ordering its apparatchiks to facilitate the murder of babies when the underage migrant mothers demand it.
Predictably, the Biden administration refuses to disclose how many children have requested this “service,” but in an article published by CBS News, an administration official, who requested anonymity to discuss internal data, admitted that a “relatively small” number of pregnant migrant minors are currently in federal custody.
Said another way, the government of the United States currently confines a “relatively small” number of pregnant children who have entered the country without permission, and is not only willing but anxious to move these young women to states where murdering their unborn babies is “legal.”
The workaround to ensure access to abortion in this new guidance is remarkable.
In case agents can’t find space to house the girls seeking to kill their babies in utero, then they should “use their professional discretion and judgment and available information” to find space for the girls in states with the least restrictive abortion laws.
It isn’t like this official sanction of slaughter is something new, however. Consider the following facts published in a Roll Call article covering the Biden administration’s new guidelines:
The new HHS guidance maintains it is consistent with a current policy, known as Garza, adopted after a lawsuit brought against the government in 2017 on behalf of an unaccompanied minor who was denied an abortion.
The Garza policy requires the government to not interfere with minors’ access to abortion and limit the disclosure of minors’ pregnancy and abortion information.
“Consistent with Garza, ORR prioritizes the transfer of UC requesting abortion to a state with access to abortion care, in the same manner as ORR would transfer a UC to another care provider to secure appropriate medical services,” the guidance said.
That’s right. Since 2017, the federal government has been providing pregnant migrant girls access to abortion, even if it means moving them to a place where the “procedure” is more readily available.
Unconscionable, but not unexpected.
Tyrants are going to tyrant. That’s what they do. The question isn’t whether it’s immoral for our government to be moving migrant girls to states where they can get abortions — again, paid for by our government — but what are we, the people, going to do about it.
That is the question.
If we, the people of the United States, want to prohibit our political servants from facilitating the murder of babies by migrant minors, perhaps we could learn from this counsel provided by French philosopher Étienne de la Boétie in 1576:
It amazes us to hear accounts of the valor that liberty arouses in the hearts of those who defend it; but who could believe reports of what goes on every day among the inhabitants of some countries, who could really believe that one man alone may mistreat a hundred thousand and deprive them of their liberty? Who would credit such a report if he merely heard it, without being present to witness the event? And if this condition occurred only in distant lands and were reported to us, which one among us would not assume the tale to be imagined or invented, and not really true?
Obviously there is no need of fighting to overcome this single tyrant, for he is automatically defeated if the country refuses consent to its own enslavement: it is not necessary to deprive him of anything, but simply to give him nothing; there is no need that the country make an effort to do anything for itself provided it does nothing against itself. It is therefore the inhabitants themselves who permit, or, rather, bring about, their own subjection, since by ceasing to submit they would put an end to their servitude.
