A child welfare worker who impregnated an emotionally troubled woman he had investigated for child abuse ordered the woman to get an abortion or she would lose everything, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in federal court and an interview with the woman's attorney."He said, 'If I have to lose everything, then you have to lose everything too,'" the attorney, Joy Bertrand, quoted the woman as saying.The woman - Theola Nealy - refused to have an abortion.Within weeks, Nealy's two children - a daughter then 5 years old and a 3-year-old son - were taken into state custody. Years later, those children have not been returned.And the baby fathered by the caseworker - now almost 3 years old - continues to live with her father, Peter J. Nelsen."Nelsen was assigned to protect the most vulnerable among us, and he preyed upon them," Bertrand said.
Hey Planned Parenthood, what say you? How's that for choice?
