Cassidy investigates Virginia school after officials accused of coercing girls into getting abortions
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) is investigating a Virginia school following allegations that a school official “arranged and bankrolled abortions” without parental consent.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) directed the Virginia state police to look into the allegations last month.
“As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP), I am committed to ensuring parents are empowered with timely access to information necessary to protect their children from the threat of serious harm,” Cassidy wrote. “If these reports are true, they represent a betrayal of Fairfax County parents and families and warrant comprehensive oversight by the HELP Committee to determine how this could have occurred and who must be held accountable.”
A school social worker allegedly assisted a 17-year-old girl at Centreville High School to have an abortion, while another girl “fled” an abortion clinic in fear of having an abortion. Fairfax County Public Schools has been accused of hiding the allegations.
“As Chairman of the HELP Committee, I am determined to ensure that federal education funds are
not being misused in violation of the law and parents’ rights to protect their children,” he wrote.
“Given the seriousness of the allegations and the potential that federal funds were used by school officials to pressure minor students into receiving covert abortions without parental consent, it is imperative for the Committee to determine whether any federal funds were misused and whether the Hyde Amendment or other relevant laws were violated,” he added.
A TIMELINE OF TRUMP AND EPSTEIN’S RELATIONSHIP, FROM FRIENDSHIP TO FALLOUT AND BEYOND
Cassidy is asking the FCPS superintendent several questions, including about the school system’s reporting requirements and other issues involving abortions and student pregnancies.
He’s asking for a response to his questions by Oct. 6.
