Abortion: Nofticfication of Parents?

[SVT93Style]

Curious to know how others feel about what's happening in the supreme court right now concerning the New Hamp case.

I personally can't believe that anyone would allow a minor to get an abortion without at least contacting their parents...and maybe even constent. A child is in no position to make that kind of decision, especially in the state of mind of pondering life and death for what is growing inside them...who knows what pressure is being placed on them from outside sources etc...
I mean for God sakes, you have to have consent of your parents to see a rated R movie...get any plastic surgery...to go on a field trip!...Not to metion you have to be at least 18 to smoke and 21 to buy alcohol...but you can kill a child at 16 b/c your to afraid to tell your parents...abortion is an icon to the futility of self-preservation, yet an other American patch to a much larger problem, just an other message sent that tells people..."don't worry, if you make a mistake for a price it can be taken care of"...don't get me wrong I am "pro-choice", the choice is you have the option to lie down and have sex,(unless it is taken away) that is the choice and there is no other as far as I am concerned....you can side step the issue all you like, you can tell yourself whatever you need to so you believe that the child is not really "alive" etc...all a bunch of garbage...oh the lies we tell are self's to silence the truth which comes from inside.

There is no reason for an abortion, not when there are tons of people in this world that would take that child in a instance....it is a selfish move, and is all about self-preservation, pride, anger, hate, embaressment etc....no excuse. I do not condem anyone who has made this choice, I don't judge, but rather I pray for you, that you might find healing. The pain is with those women/men forever and runs deep, ever time a women looks at the "father" they will think of that child's face, you can never escape it..this is not a solution but rather a cop out for your actions...all this will lead to is more pain and sorrow and yet an other problem....maybe not today or tommorrow but in time...I just feel that we make it to easy for the consequences to disappear and we are not dealing with a much greater issue.

I pray for all who have suffered through this, wether is way by your own choice or pressure or what ever...may you find peace and healing.

P.S. On a side note----One of those aborted kids may have come up with the cure to Cancer or Aids...endless possilbilities.

Because even women who get pregnant following a rape shouldn't have the option to abort, because they wanted to be raped, and they want to be reminded of that rape every day for the rest of their lives. :rolleyes:

Because no pregnancy ever ended in the mother's and/or child's death. We should see all pregnancies through to the end, who cares if the mother might die as a result? :rolleyes:

I do, however, feel that parents should be notified if a minor is going in for an abortion. I also feel that an abortion is only justified when the pregnancy is caused by rape, or the mother's life is in danger, etc. I don't feel it's right to have an abortion, because the pregnancy isn't "convenient" for someone at that time in their life.

To allow a child to go from one tramatic event to another tramatic event without support or family is crazy. Post-Abortion Syndrome is nothing to go through alone.

I am surprised that someone hasn't realized that they could make a ton of money by sueing a doctor for doing a non-life theatening medical procedure on their child without their consent.

Read it again DarkWolf...."don't get me wrong I am "pro-choice", the choice is you have the option to lie down and have sex,(unless it is taken away)"


I can actually say you and I see eye to eye on this issue...

I don't think she should be able to do it without parental consent. Abortion is a weird thing. For the most part, I'm against it, but lets say the child is born and put into an adoption agency. What are the chances that that child will be adopted? Sure, there is a line out the door with people wanting to adopt but most of them won't even qualify and the older the child gets, the less likey he/she will be adopted. Personally, if I got a chick pregnant and she wanted an abortion, I would take responsibility for it and tell her to have the baby and I would take full custody of it so she wouldn't have to worry about it. I wouldn't abort my child but I'm not going to tell someone else whether it's right or wrong.

Point of the arguement is if the teenager should notify the legal guardians of thier potential intentions. With this part of the arguement in mind, i agree they should know. As for abortion, the only way i support it is if rape was involved or if the child would not have the upbringing a child deserves.

[poopnut2]

or if the child would not have the upbringing a child deserves.

That's where things get iffy.

[636ryder]

That's where things get iffy.

Yea, i guess a somewhat decent example would be teenie bopper druggy gets knocked up. Doesn't have wealthy parents, and she thinks she can raise the child. Adoption is an option, but she isn't gonna quit doin her habit, and later on down the line might not be as willing to give the child up to adoption due to her wonderful thought process.

I wish more of them would.

They could go ahead and scrape out the box while they are at it and it would never be an issue again.

Ahh, didn't catch that at first.

I like how Tx does it.

Required to tell the parents unless the minor can present a case to a judge that she will be harmed/endangered if she does tell her parents.
