According to the complaint, the parents had no knowledge of the abortion until the next day when their daughter began experiencing "extreme pain and discomfort". That same day a doctor diagnosed the girl as suffering from a severe uterine infection as a result of an incomplete abortion. According to the complaint, the counselor denied any involvement in arranging for the abortion when the girl's parents met with her and other school officials a week later. The principal of the school was said to have labeled the girl's account of the incident as a "hallucination". (Texas school counselor sued for urging 17-year-old student to have abortion, Action, The Rutherford Institute, October,1991 p.5).
According to press reports, the school counselor told the girl that she had "too much going for her to be tied down with a baby", suggested several abortion clinics, and said that a friend of the counselor would provide half of the fee if the father of the baby provided the rest. According to the press reports, it was alleged in the suit that the counselor told the girl not to tell her parents about the abortion and was quoted as saying "Parents basically aren't for abortion. They either don't agree with them or they don't believe in them." The suit was eventually settled for an undisclosed amount. (School officials sued after teen's abortion, Thomas Korosec, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, August 21,1991, as quoted in Abortion Monitor, Vol.I,No.8, Sept. 1991).
