High School Caught Arranging Secret Abortions on Teens Without Parental Consent

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) in Virginia is under scrutiny following allegations that staff at Centreville High School arranged and funded abortions for two students without notifying their parents.

The abortions, arranged in 2021, are prompting outrage from pro-life advocates who call the actions a violation of parental rights and state law.

According to a report by WJLA, two former Centreville High School students, one of whom was 17 years old at the time, claim school officials facilitated their abortions at Fairfax Healthcare Center without parental consent. The allegations, which surfaced on social media, have sparked a district investigation into what pro-life groups describe as “state-sponsored child exploitation.”

“We learned yesterday of these concerning allegations from 2021,” FCPS said in a statement to WJLA on Wednesday. “We are launching an immediate and comprehensive investigation as we take all concerns of student wellbeing very seriously.”

The school district’s policy, outlined in Regulation 2504, states, “Every effort shall be made to encourage and support students suspecting pregnancy to discuss their concern with their parents or guardians.” However, the policy does not mandate that staff inform parents about such discussions, a gap pro-life advocates argue enabled the secretly-arraigned abortions.

Pro-life organization 40 Days for Life condemned the reported actions on X, stating, “A Fairfax high school secretly arranged and paid for student abortions—without telling parents. This isn’t ‘healthcare.’ It’s state-funded child exploitation. Every official involved must be held accountable.”

The allegations have raised questions about the use of taxpayer funds, with claims that school resources were used to cover the costs of the procedures. FCPS told WJLA that employees do not currently arrange abortion services for minors and that students seeking health-related services are referred to public health nurses employed by the Fairfax County Health Department.

“Not to [our] knowledge. We have launched an immediate investigation into these concerns as soon as we were made aware,” the district said.

Critics argue the incident reflects a broader erosion of parental rights in schools.

“This operation has been around since 2021,” wrote Neil Minock for WJLA, highlighting the timeline of the alleged activities. Posts on X echoed this sentiment, with one user stating, “Fairfax Co. school staff allegedly used taxpayer funds to secretly arrange abortions for teens without parental consent, in violation of VA law. Girls were coerced. Parents shut out. Public money abused.”

The controversy comes amid heightened tensions over Fairfax County Public Schools’ policies under Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid. The district has faced prior criticism for its handling of sensitive issues, including a 2025 incident involving controversial Women’s History Month posters at West Springfield High School that promoted abortion and other political messages, which some parents deemed indoctrination.

FCPS, the ninth-largest school district in the U.S., serves over 180,000 students across 199 schools. The ongoing investigation will likely intensify debates over school transparency and the role of educators in students’ medical decisions.

Pro-life advocates are calling for accountability, arguing that the alleged actions not only violated trust but also undermined the sanctity of life and parental authority. The district has promised updates as the investigation progresses, with pro-life groups and concerned parents awaiting answers on whether those responsible will face consequences.
