Parental laws for abortion are not a good idea
Is the abortion for minors threatened?
The state parental notification law is not a good idea. Activists on both sides say that the new law is going to have a huge impact, they are right, but the impact is going to be negative.
First of all, the new law is simply unconstitutionnal! Abortion for all is a civil right, we can not prevent minors to have an abortion by telling their parents.
Moreover, what kind of parents do not speak with their kids, particularly teens? If the girls do not want to tell their parents they may have good reasons and feel threatened. You think that this new rule will stop abortion? You are wrong. On the contrary more and more girls who are too afraid to tell their parents are going to have dangereous abortion out of hospitals. Do you really think that a girl who is too scared to tell her parents about her abortion can tell them about her pregnancy and have the baby?! That’s ridiculous and unlogical. The only consequence is likely to be families’ arguments.
Ridiculous also: notifie the parents but not ask for their consent?!
It’s useless no? And what about if the girls prefer tell her sister, aunt or grandparents?
Same thing: notifie but not in case of emergency and sexual abuse?
Sexual abuse may be the situation where parents should be notifie!
That’s a crime and a traumatism and the teen should be supported by her family.
Abortion is a right and this law is a clear invasion of privacy and has a chilling effect on a woman’s right to choose.

Why weren’t morally-bankrupt Lucie and her bloodthirsty brethen aborted just before birth?
Wow! No wonder Lucie is an intern, she is obviously too stupid to be anything else.
“Abortion for all is a civil right,”
Not even close. There are restrictions on when pregnant women can abort. And it is most definitely not for all; half the population is automatically excluded from getting abortions!
Parental NOTIFICATION and CONSENT laws are a MUST in this society concerning minors. All medical procedures concerning children (minors) must involve the consent of parents, THEY MUST BE INVOLVED!
I question anyone’s motivation being honorable who think that a parent must not be notified when their minor child is about to undergo any medical procedure that can have risks. One has to be morally defunct to think otherwise! If I was not notified of my minor child having any sort of medical procedure that could cause my child harm, I can only say that I pray that God keep me of rational mind and actions.
Frankly, most parents are always if their child becomes pregnant. Most parents know (or at least they should know) if their children missed a menstrual cycle and should certainly know if they have missed two and will become concerned and take their child to the doctor. One of the things a parent should require is the tracking of their child’s menstrual cycle to educate them and make them aware of their bodies and also for medical purposes, to know how important that it is to keep track with how your body operates.
Under the circumstances of sexual abuse by a parent(s), then the guilty parent must be notified via, complaint and arrest!
But frankly, in the case of incest, the parents almost always are aware of any pregnancy so who in the heck are these people attempting to pull the wool over the eyes of? I don’t quite grasp why these people are attempting to take away the rights of parents but. I do know that whatever reason, these people are up to no good and our children must be protected from such people.
And, if there is a non-guilty parent, then that parent will be the parent to make the decisions in the best interests of the minor. If both parents are guilty then the minor becomes a ward of the state and they appoint a guardian.
Actions have consequences and one of the consequences of having sexual relations as a teenager is that you may become pregnant and your parent(s) will know that you are sexually active and pregnant. That’s just part of life and the consequences of actions. How dare any outsider attempt to involve themselves in family matters such as this where the parents are not guilty of crime against the minor.
Lucie: If Americans for Democratic Action is a real organization, and if they actually have hired you, it cannot be that hard to find employment. You fit right in with the leftist bimbos on this site. I guess it would be useless to ask if the infant you are slaughtering has any “civil rights.”
Well said D–.
Hey Lucie, is Dr. Josef Mengele a part of your group. You make Hitler proud.
So its ok to not notify your parents of an abortion but you MUST ask the parents to give aspirin to the children. Now thats liberal thinking at its finest!

Title V11 of the Civil Rights Act 1964 - Prohibits discrimination on the basis of: race, colour, religion, natural origin, and -Drum Roll Please - SEX.
This law is available for all, to view, on the web, at no cost.
A woman’s right to reproductive freedom is indeed - a Civil Right.
The right to open one’s mouth and insert foot, is a civil right, you obviously can, and do, participate in.

An ‘infant’ is a young child - one who has been born.
Thus - A fetus - is Not an infant.
An no, do not do that semantic dance, where the words fetus and infant are interchangeable. They most assuredly, are not.
I am beginning to think that more than a few of the bloggers, share more than two or three identities.
There is no other way, so ‘many’ could be so wrong, so often.
Indeed, you are always agreeing with ‘each other’ - or is it ‘your self’.

A personal comment about young women and parental care.
We have raised our daughter and have maintained a very, very close relationship with her, and her family.
She ‘came’ to us with with her problems, she ’sought’ us out when she had questions and wished to discuss her life.
We did not rifle through her: chest of drawers, diary, notebooks, etc.
We did not hover.
The way to keep anyone close, child, husband, loved one - is to give them room to breath, allow them space, and be there for them, without being overbearing.
Being - Overbearing, overprotective, over intrusive, is the path to loss.
Perhaps, not immediately, but eventually, that will be the path taken - away, far away.
A parent, of rational mind, does Not check their daughter’s menstrual cycle,literally.
Indeed, there are multiple reasons,periods are compleately missed, and they have nothing to do with pregnancy.
Educating a young woman on how her body works,is absolutely necessary of course.
Bit to, literally, require the ‘tracking’ of cycles, goes beyond parental concern, and into the realm of, let us be honest here, dangerous parenting.
If a child is a victim of incest, by a father, one can state that the father is insane.
Saying that such a man would ‘know’ if the girl was or was not pregnant, is just as insane.
Therefore, mandating that a young woman, would then have to inform, said ‘parent’ ,or ’said’ mother (who was MIA), is - without doubt - insane.
There are parents who would be so angry, finding their daughter to be pregnant, that they would personally inflict great physical harm.
There are documented cases were these young women were even killed.
The pathology of some cultures, is that because the young woman has become pregnant, she must be punished by death.
********************************************************************
A compleat mystery, is why people, who think that the government is ‘interfering’ by attempting to get a Health Care bill passed, find no problem, with ‘interfering’ in a woman’s right to choose.
These are the same sane people who tried to intervene in the T. Schiavo case - coming between a woman and her husband, and the same people who do not want to acknowledge Gay rights.
And no - do Not go down the Biblical path. We are talking Civil Rights - America is a land of Civil laws, not religious ones.
Thank God for the right to abortion! If not,the millions of fetuses in China and India who continually are aborted only because they are FEMALE would be stopped. What a travesty that would be. The epitome of irony.

We are fortunate to have gained that double surname whammy, your dopey opinions would be worthless otherwise.
Any method of contraception is a constitutional right regardless of the circumstances and consequences. My neighbor Ralph is a perfect example. When and if he finds opposite sexes sharing an intimate moment, he immediately orders the male to dismount, followed by cursing and other verbal abuse up to and including questioning the ancestry of the participants. While this creates some problems with those sharing the matrimonial bond, you will be pleased to know that if the intimacy is between minors, he does not inform the parents in case it might involve sibling rape.
cynthia siegel neal,
By your definition, at exactly what point does the “fetus” become an infant? At what point does it move from being legal to murder a baby to a crime to murder a baby?
Define “born”. Is it when the head emerges from the birth canal? No, it can’t be just the head since you think the baby’s brain can still be scrambled and sucked out at that point (Partial Birth Abortion).
What if the feet are still in the birth canal, is the baby born yet, can it still be murdered legally?
Perhaps if the baby is born and breathing but the cord is still attached, can the baby still be legally murdered?
Tell us Cynthia, at what point does a fetus become a baby and at what point is that baby born by your definition. You’re the one that said the words fetus and infant are not interchangeable, so at what point does one become the other?
“I am beginning to think that more than a few of the bloggers, share more than two or three identities.

Did you ever stop to think perhaps it’s you that’s wrong?
