Catholic Bishop Apologizes for Charity's Aid in Va. Abortion Case
Catholic leaders in Richmond, Va., are apologizing after a teenage immigrant in a Catholic charity’s care obtained an abortion with help from charity staff members, reports the Associated Press.
The unidentified 16-year-old Guatemalan was being cared for by Commonwealth Catholic Charities through a program that provides foster care for illegal-immigrant children in the United States without their parents.
Four of the charity’s staff members were fired for helping the girl travel to and from the procedure and signing a parental consent form, required by law in Virginia, according to the news service.
