Case Study: Abortion Rights and/or Wrongs
By Tarris Rosell, PhD, DMin
Kate is a 17 year old patient, unmarried and 8
weeks pregnant. She is a rather remarkable girl
in that she lives independently while still a senior
in a high school. She tells you that she was an
adoptee given back to foster care, and then
abused in that system. She is now an
emancipated minor who works 30 hours per
week at a service industry job while also earning
a 4.0 GPA in school, ranking in the top 10% of
her class. She is college-bound, with a full-ride scholarship for pre-med undergraduate studies
at a prestigious university.
Kate has absolutely no family support, and the former boyfriend who is the father of her unborn
child/fetus simply disappeared upon learning of the pregnancy. Your patient is scared,
uninsured, and says she doesn’t want to be pregnant or a mom (“Perhaps someday, but not
now!”). She rejects the adoption option, based on her own experience growing up, and requests
abortion only, at this hospital where she has always received medical care.”
