Foster teen who fought for abortion pregnant again

[deadparrot]

The foster child who made national news last year when the state of Florida went to court to prevent her from having an abortion is pregnant again.

"L.G.," who turned 15 this month, is due to deliver a baby boy Nov. 1, her mother said.

The teenager first got pregnant at 13 after running away from a state group home. Attorneys with the Florida Department of Children and Families petitioned a juvenile court judge to stop her from terminating her pregnancy, saying the state could not consent to an abortion.

But the foster teen's attorneys successfully argued that the decision was L.G.'s to make. She ended her pregnancy May 3, 2005.
