The mother of a Ballard High School student is fuming after the health center on campus helped facilitate her daughter's abortion during school hours.
The mother, known only as "Jill," says the clinic kept the information "confidential."
When she signed a consent form, Jill figured it meant her 15 year old could go to the Ballard Teen Health Center located inside the high school in Seattle for an earache, a sports physical, even birth control, but not for help terminating a pregnancy.
"She took a pregnancy test at school at the teen health center," she said. "Nowhere in this paperwork does it mention abortion or facilitating abortion."
Jill says her daughter, a pro-life advocate, was given a pass, put in a taxi and sent off to have an abortion during school hours all without her family knowing.
"We had no idea this was being facilitated on campus," said Jill. "They just told her that if she concealed it from her family, that it would be free of charge and no financial responsibility."

a FORMER pro-life advocate.
that story doesnt make any sense, someone isnt telling everything
Was she forced? Why would a true "pro-life advocate" get an abortion?
She didn't really need an abortion--presumbaly she was just lying about it, as part of a scheme to stop other girls from getting them.
I'd be willing to be there alot of girls who are against abortion until actually faced with the prospect of having a baby at 15. Also, she may just have been saying what her mother expected.
