*yea #theguardian sucks, but this is important and not being spoken of enough (or acted against):*
"Unaccompanied #minors who lack #immigration documentation are at high risk for #trafficking and other forms of harm...Since July, more than a dozen #pregnant #children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south #Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the #California Newsroom. In Texas, #abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.
“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions,” said Jonathan White, a former top official working with children’s programs in the ORR under the Obama and Trump administrations. When a pregnant child is moved to Texas, “as long as she is in Texas, she can’t access an abortion...."
The move amplifies existing concerns about #reproductive #healthcare in immigration #detention centers, including allegations over the lack of appropriate healthcare for pregnant people, separation of nursing parents and infants, and forced #sterilization in immigration facilities."
