PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- Gov. Jeb Bush said Tuesday that the state will not appeal a judge's decision allowing a teenager in state custody to have an abortion.

"It's a tragedy that a 13-year-old girl would be in a vulnerable position where she could be made pregnant and it's a tragedy that her baby will be lost," Bush said in Tallahassee.

It was unclear Tuesday whether the girl, known only as LG in court papers and 14 weeks pregnant, had yet undergone an abortion. Calls to the girl's attorneys were not immediately returned Tuesday.

State Department of Children & Families spokeswoman Marilyn Munoz said the agency would "respectfully comply with the court's decision." She declined to provide further details.

"We are working for the best interest of the young girl," Munoz said.

The teen became pregnant after running away from the DCF shelter where she lives

Monday, Palm Beach Juvenile Judge Ronald Alvarez ruled the abortion could go forward. Alvarez had issued an order last week temporarily stopping the teen, who lives in a state shelter, from having the abortion. DCF argued that she was too young and immature to decide for herself and state law prohibited the agency from consenting to an abortion.

Alvarez held up the abortion until a psychological evaluation was completed, but he ruled Monday that the teen would not be physically or emotionally harmed by the abortion.

The American Civil Liberties Union helped represent the girl.

"He ruled that she is competent, that she has made a decision and that she has a right to act on that decision," Howard Simon, executive director of the Florida ACLU, told The Associated Press. The judge also declared "her right to act on that decision is also in her best interest."
