But I'll tell you this, if my daughter was to get pregnant, and if she wanted to terminate it, that would be her choice, not mine. And I would hope that she would tell me first, and allow me to support her in any way she needed. And hopefully I raised her well enough to trust me. The state wouldn't be forcing abortion on girls, only ensuring that their Constitutional rights were protected. | How do you know the state wouldnt be forcing these kids to have abortions?? You dont know what fear factors they would use on these kids. Especialy if it was a councler from PP talking to them. Children do not have a right to abortions in the constitution. They have a right to be fed, clothed, sheltered,and educated without being abused. These decisions have far to many implications to not have a parent involved, even if it meant that they were only notifyed and had a chance to talk to the child before hand. Not that I would be ok with that either, but to remove the parent altogether is criminal. |
