00:00Well, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has now directed state police to investigate allegations
00:04that school staffers at Fairfax County Schools helped students receive abortions in 2021.
00:11The governor says he's deeply concerned about the reports, accusing officials at Centerville
00:15High School of arranged and financed abortions for girls as young as 17 without parental
00:22notification. State Attorney General Jason Meares promises to get answers.
00:27What the governor has announced is the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. That's our equivalent
00:32of the FBI with the state police to get to the bottom of this. They're going to get some answers,
00:36I think, for the governor and for the public on what exactly happened here. What are the facts and
00:41also whether there's any misallocation of state funds. It is against the law in Virginia for you
00:46to have an abortion for a minor and not get parental consent. Parents also spoke out about the
00:52allegations. I definitely think that's crossed the line. Paying for monies for something that's a child
01:01is inappropriate. Parents of teenagers know that teenagers don't always tell us everything. So
01:06perhaps not so surprising parents didn't know, but you would assume that people in a school system
01:14would alert parents to any issues like this. I think adults would alert them too. The big weekend
01:21show reached out to Centerville High School for a comment, but we have not heard back. So Anita,
01:26this is another story coming out of Fairfax County schools. There's been a long list of
01:31alleged criminal activity, keeping parents out of the loop. It plays politically as well.
01:36This is just another outrageous one. Yeah. And it is a really outrageous one because number one,
01:41it's illegal in the state of Virginia to pay for an abortion using state and local funds.
01:47That's number one. Number two, except I should say in the cases of rape or incest or where there is
01:54some physical deformity with the child or mental deficiency or where this would threaten the life
02:04of the mother. But other than that, it's illegal. And then to not tell parents is just, that may not
02:11be illegal, but it's reprehensible. So Kevin, you've covered a lot of these stories coming out
02:15of Northern Virginia and yet parents are still being left out. You know, this is so unbelievably
02:21outrageous. Let's play this out. You have a daughter, she's 17. She's gotten in a bind. She tells
02:26somebody at the school and they pay for this allegedly and she dies on the table. She bleeds out.
02:32How are you going to explain that to the parent? This is so unbelievable. If this turns out to be
02:39true, people should go to jail. And if I were the parents or if I were a practicing attorney,
02:45I guarantee you there'd be a lawsuit flying out as fast as I could get one. This is unbelievable.
02:51This is a mistrust between parents and districts like what's happening over in Fairfax County,
02:57which is a great county, by the way. But if this turns out to be true, there has to be consequences.
03:01It's also very predatory on students who are not adults and they cannot consent either when it
03:07comes to these big issues, especially when it comes to legal terms. Of course, politics are
03:10involved here. Glenn Youngkin won on a platform in a purple blue state of parental rights. There's
03:16another governor's race right now when some Sears versus Abigail Spanberger. I'm sure this will come
03:22up as a conversation in that debate for that race. Well, I hope so, because I think it is one of
03:27those pivotal issues about parental rights and the role of parents. And I think it's not only on
03:32the school district, it's also on the doctor. You can't just go in and perform an abortion.
03:39You've got to be able to look at the paperwork. If the parent's signature is not there, where is the
03:43parent on this? This person's 17 years old. I mean, these are allegations. This is why the state
03:47police are investigating. But it is abhorrent, as you said, Kevin, and we've all, I think, agreed on
03:53this. It's just fundamentally totally wrong. And again, it's another example where Democrats in
03:58general, not all of them, but in general, have always taken the position the state, the school
04:04knows better than the parent. And that's the fundamental difference between the two parties.
04:08And Katie, if it does come up in the gubernatorial debate, how does the Democratic candidate defend
04:13this? Right. How? I mean, can't. You really can't. Right. No, especially when it comes to a minor.
04:19Yeah. Right. But they have defended things like this before, Kevin. I mean, I wouldn't put it
04:23beside them to defend this. I mean, the current gubernatorial candidate for the Democrats has been
04:28in favor of men in women's locker rooms, boys and girls sports in Virginia. Maybe she should answer
04:34this question and see if it comes in line with that. Absolutely. And this could actually be a
04:37boon for a Winsome Sears, obviously, in her campaign. But let me just ask you, when you first saw
04:42this story, did it just make you wretch? I mean, because you think to yourself, I'm placing my child in
04:48your trust. I'm trusting you to do the right thing by me as a parent. And you do this. I mean,
04:55if this like I said, if it's true, I just can't imagine the aftercare that has to also happen.
05:01You know, come on, this can't this cannot happen again. And they are allegations. But because the
05:07school system has had so many crazy things cutting parents out, your initial reaction, at least mine
05:12was, was to think it could be true. So we'll see what the facts show us. Hey, Sean Hannity here.
