NEW YORK — A Florida appeals court ruled on Monday that a 16-year-old girl was not"mature enough" to decide to terminate her pregnancy.
According to the ruling, the teen, unnamed and referred to as Jane Doe 22-B, lives with a relative and has an appointed guardian.However, Escambia County Circuit Judge Jessica Frydrychowicz denied the bypass request, and a three-judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal upheld the decision. The ruling said the teen had endured"renewed trauma" as her friend died shortly before she sought to obtain an abortion.
Makar said the trial was conducted admirably, as the trial judge"displayed concern for the minor's predicament throughout the hearing [and] asked difficult questions of the minor on sensitive personal matters in a compassionate manner." The ruling said the court had found that the teen"acknowledges she is not ready for the emotional, physical, or financial responsibility of raising a child" and"has valid concerns about her ability to raise a child."
