Tightening Parental Rule for Abortions
WASHINGTON, April 27 - The House passed a bill on Wednesday making it a federal crime for any adult to transport an under-age girl across state lines to have an abortion without the consent of her parents. A vote on a similar bill is expected in the Senate later this spring or early this summer, and backers says its chances are good." (more from NYT)This bill, which is designed to keep young girls from side-stepping the rules of a particular state regarding parental notification, should fly through the Senate. It's common sense and it is the right thing to do. There should be no loopholes allowing teenagers to circumvent the involvement of their parents. Of course, a related issue is the fact that many (not all) of the girls in this position are there because of parental uninvolvement in the first place.
