Parental Notification

FOXNews.com - U.S. & World - Supreme Court to Review Abortion Law. The state has decided that parents do not have the right to know when medications in the form of oral contraceptives are given to their children. The state has decided that parents do not have the right to know when surgery (abortion) is performed on their children. If you are pro-abortion or anti-abortion, this ought to be troubling. Parents are responsible, among other things, for the health of their children. How does one know when these types of things can be done without notification? What assurances do you have that those prescribing or performing are doing so with an adequate review of the medical history of the patient?

What responsibility do the rabid "prochoicers" take when something goes medically wrong with either of these? The answer is none. One wonders at the level of outrage these folks would show if their kids were prescribed some other drug or had some other "minor" surgery without notification.

The state has decided that parents do not have the right of notification for some actions by their children. Do the advocates of this plan to take responsibility for these children? The answer is an emphatic "no." The whole rabidly pro-abortion stance is about avoiding responsibility.
