Governor Youngkin orders Virginia State Police to investigate alleged use of public funds for abortions facilitated by school officials
Falls Church, Virginia – Governor Glenn Youngkin has called for a criminal investigation into serious allegations that Fairfax County Public Schools may have helped minors obtain abortions without involving their parents and possibly used public funds to do so.
On Friday, the governor announced that he directed the Virginia State Police’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation to begin a full investigation. The directive follows a media report detailing accusations that school staff members facilitated abortions for underage students without parental knowledge or consent.
“I am deeply concerned with the allegations that Fairfax County Public Schools officials arranged for minors to get abortions without parental consent and may have misused public funds to pay for them. I am directing the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation to open a full criminal investigation into the matter immediately,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin.
Allegations Involving Minors and Possible Fund Misuse
The published report suggests that these incidents may not have been isolated. According to the allegations, multiple minors were involved, and the school district may have known about the arrangements. It is also claimed that a combination of local, state, or even federal funds could have been used, raising serious legal and ethical questions.
The governor has asked anyone with information to come forward. Individuals who may have relevant details are urged to contact the Virginia State Police at [email protected] or by phone at (804) 674-2196.
The investigation is expected to examine the depth of the alleged activities, who may have been involved, and whether any laws were broken. At this stage, no one has been officially charged, and Fairfax County Public Schools has not issued a formal response.
This developing story has sparked strong reactions across the state, with many waiting to see what the investigation uncovers in the coming weeks.
