Guidance counselor took teen for secret abortion without telling parents

An article in The Christian Century tells the following story:

“A Pennsylvania couple has sued a public school guidance counselor, charging that he violated their constitutional rights by helping their minor daughter obtain a secret abortion…..

The teenager, who subsequently graduated from high school in June 1999, told the counselor that she was a Southern Baptist and that abortion was contrary to her and her parents, beliefs, the suit alleges.

The suit further charges that Hickey responded to the teen’s doubts by telling her “welcome to the adult world” and “someday you’ll look back on this and laugh.”
