![]() "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... Hey, we're not that far apart. My answer is the same for all women: abortion on demand during the first trimester, Abortion on demand before the beating of the heart...about 6 weeks. (See? We're only 6 weeks apart there Harry) parental notification for very young girls, I agree...as long as you define "very young" in the same way as the law. Those under 18 years old are minors...and the parents should be notified. but no ability for parental interference in whether the gal gets one or not. Minors can't give informed consent. If the parents refuse to sign an informed consent form, then the doctor shouldn't be able to perform the procedure. Of course, in cases where the parents are unavailable or deemed incompetent (and thus can't sign the form), then the courts should be able to grant consent. Without writing a disseration on the rearing of female teens, let me say that the household rules and regulations are best determined by direct negotiations, with the parental units letting go bit by bit. Fine. But 13 years old is too early to "let go". And, no, I don't believe a gal should be "held accountable" for not using proper contraception by being forced to bear a child because her lunatic right-wing parents want to teach her a lesson. It's not to "teach her a lesson". It's to protect the life of the infant. If the pregnancy is past the first trimester, you've already stated that you oppose the right to an abortion. Are you "teaching the woman a lesson" by denying her the ability to get an abortion in the 2nd or 3rd trimesters? |
