I just wanna open this topic up. I think this is ridiculous that a
law wouldn't pass asking minors parents to be notified and the
surgeons to meet standard requiremnts for performing abortions. It
just makes no sense that a person under the age of 18 can have a
surgical procedure performed without notifying a parent or family
member in case the parent would be abusive. If we knew what we were
getting ourselves into at a younger age wouldn't we be
"legal" at that age? What's the point of having 18 be
an adult when 12 year olds are treated as adults on this issue? And
can someone please tell me how you need parent permission to have
tylenol at school but not even parent notification for an
abortion?
And if anyone tries to bring up that the parents are abusive so in
this case they wouldn't have to tell their parents well that
sounds like a family problem and the parents won't be happy
with the kid no matter what;. Besides that is why it is any family
member not just the parents.
If kids can choose to have something happen to them that they
haven't even been on this earth long enough to understand than
why don't kids get to choose whether or not to live with their
parents? Or get a job? Or go to school?
How do you guys feel?
California did not pass a law to have KIDS parents be notified if they are going to have an abortion. Why?

Report AbuseHey! Hmm...I completely, completely get what it is you are saying. But, I think the fact that they feel adult enough to have sex, is probably it.

Report AbuseI know that if my child were to have complications from an abortion I didn't give consent for I would sue everybody involved. I can't believe we haven't seen that sort of thing in the press even if it is the most Godless media in the western world. I live in a Catholic area and the young girls just have the babies and their families help them raise them. I'm sure some put theirs up for adoption as well. But it is ridiculous that any decent human being would think it less than heartless to keep loving parents out of the loop where their child's welfare is at issue. Most kids are not even responsible adults when they finish their college degrees. Kids in high school are not prepared to make these decisions without the support of loved ones. A couple of hours talking to a stranger is not the same. The counsel of their friends is a joke. Just because they can and do have sex does not mean they are mature enough to make life or death decisions which may or may not cause them mental anguish and regret for the rest of their lives. Just because some parents are less than emotionally or intellectually able to help their children as they should does not mean we should legislate to the lowest common denominator. How does that make sense when we sentence sexual predators to less than life in prison because 2-3 % will not offend again? It is pathetic the kind of people we have writing our laws and sitting on our courts. Well, we are talkiing about California. I'm not even sure it's legal to mention God in church there.

Report AbuseParental control and respect seems to be diminishing in this country. Yet they wonder why some children have no respect for the law. Yet they demand it in the schools and government. -?
