I would think that if the numbers were truly that significant for a procedure that by your figures is done 3,000 time a day in America there would be a bigger outcry by insurance and other health care initiatives. I personally have only heard the dangers of abortion pointed out those who are pro life, never a neutral organization.
As for parental notification, I walk the fence here because as a parent I feel I have the right to know but as a child advocate I know that some young women who become pregnant have been the victims of incest and in that case the parent should be relieved of all decision making, without it taking an injunction to have that happen.
Father's rights, another line... if a father is given the right to know prior and have a say in whether the woman can abort then could that be flipped to where a pregant woman could be taken to court to force her to have an abortion if the father chose NOT to have the baby or could he be excused from providing support if he would have preferred the woman abort? |
