ORLANDO, FL – Just before the nation’s Fourth of July birthday weekend, where many celebrated the “unalienable right” to “life,” a Florida minor gave birth to a healthy baby girl after narrowly avoiding a coerced, out-of-state abortion last fall. Even though the pregnant teen and her teen boyfriend wanted to choose life for their unborn child after discovering she was pregnant, a family member made arrangements to take her against her will to Illinois for an abortion to evade Florida’s six-week “heartbeat” law. Due to the teen’s courage and Liberty Counsel’s rapid response to her cry for help in November 2025, those plans were cancelled and the baby girl, nearly eight pounds, was born in a smooth delivery right before the holiday.
