Authorities are investigating whether a Catholic charity violated state and federal law by helping a 16-year-old illegal immigrant who was in the organization's care get an abortion.
Workers with Commonwealth Catholic Charities helped the girl travel to and from the procedure in January and signed a consent form for the abortion, Joanne Nattrass, the charity's executive director, said in a statement Thursday. She declined further comment.

I've never known a CC to have a name before it (Commonwealth). Maybe it isn't fully sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church. It may be a pro-abortion group in disguise.

Sounds like they are bona fide. Unfortunately some of their employees took it upon themselves to help some girl out.
