Rya Kibby

Rya Kibby was a 17-year-old young woman from Gemenon.Battlestar Galactica, episode: "The Captain's Hand".
She was four months pregnant when she snuck aboard Galactica, seeking to get an abortion with the aid of Dr. Cottle. She eventually requested asylum in order to prevent her return to her family prior to having an abortion. The incident led to a political struggle between President Laura Roslin and the Gemenese delegation, including Gemenon's representative Sarah Porter.
Despite a proclamation by Roslin against future abortions, Rya was allowed to undergo the procedure, as she had made her request prior to the change in policy.
