The teen was represented by the Texas Center for Defense of Life, who say they see the agreement as a victory in the fight against abortion. “Right now it’s a victory for life. And we’re glad that they stood up for the right to life and that they recognized, our client recognized that her child had the right to live and she wanted to protect that.”
A pregnant Texas teen has won the right to have her baby after she reached an agreement with her parents, who she had sued claiming they were forcing her to abort the fetus.
MyFoxHouston.com reports the 16-year-old teen, who was only identified in court records as R.E.K., will be allowed to have the child and her parents will not threaten her with physical force.
Under the terms of the agreement, the parents will allow the girl to marry her 16-year-old boyfriend Evan Madison, who told MyFoxHouston.com he is glad the legal matter has been settled.
