Undocumented Teenager Obtains Abortion After Battle with Trump Administration
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The undocumented teenager whom the Trump administration attempted to
prevent from having an abortion has finally obtained the procedure-after
having to fight the federal government for a month. The 17-year-old,
known as Jane Doe, is detained in a refugee resettlement shelter. She
had the abortion on Wednesday after a U.S. appeals court ruled in her
favor. We'll have more on her case later in the broadcast.
