Parental Notification

Tuesday will have us all up in arms over parental notification laws once again.  Abortion is a hot topic regardless of your affiliation but this takes it even a step further for most.  Do parents have a right to know if there daughter is seeking abortion  or do we need to protect troubled girls from abusive parents and make sure they can get an abortion? I want to know.  If my daughter is in the emergency room and needs help she might not get it if they don't ask me first.  If we are going to decide that a 14 year old girl can go on her own and get an abortion we need to change a lot of other laws as well.  A 12-14 year old girl really doesn't understand the ramifications of something as huge as an abortion.  In most cases neither does an older teenager for that matter.  They are only thinking about being scared and getting into trouble and possibly facing some embaressment.   They aren't thinking about how they will feel afterwards and for the rest of their lives.  They aren't thinking. Abortion shouldn't be used as birth control and by making sure that a girl can get an abortion without telling her parents the chances arise that it will be used as birth control.  Girls won't need to feel afraid of becoming pregnant.  If there is no fear there is no need to worry about using condoms, etc. So what about the girls who are going to get into serious trouble at home?  The girls who may end up being abused because they got pregnant?  Those girls probably shouldn't be in those homes anyway.  If the parents are that abusive we need to make sure that all kids have the information they need to get help.  Instead of making it easy to get an abortion let's make it easy to get counseling and help and make a pledge that if those girls come forward we will get them out of those situations.         FREE information on government grants, auctions, and more!  www.freefromscams.com   Technorati Tags : parental, notification, abortion, abuse, medical, care         Powered By Qumana
