I am not anti abortion, though I find it moraly wrong and if used as birth controll digusting( I know several broads that do).

Yes I am pro the choice to be a iresponsible scum bag and have your problems sucked out. IE pro choice.

For adults.... NOT children!

But those are just my views, if you want to have a baby sucked for your body, more power to you. If there is a god you will pay for it... if not then we are all just animals anyway and it doesnt me **** in the grand sceme of things.

Still... I find it complete wrong to allow minors, children to have abortions or any other medical procedure done without parental concent. It is total BS. How the hell did these laws get passed?

Bull****.

So if she has cancer the doc cant tell the parents then either?

Thats crap why do parents sign the forms.

I do not think every state has laws like this either.

PP worries about the time that the Dad is also the Grandfather, and parental notification might be akward and / or dangerous.

yeah so every normal parent gets screwed because planed parent hood has a BS ajenda and uses a small percentage of cases were the child is being molested.

In those cases they SHOULD be getting the cops to go make some arrests, with a notice saying yeah your kids pregnant and your going to jail you sick bastard!

I bet they are agaist getting the police on the case too right?

In Ohio, a minor can get an abortion without parential consent only by a court order.

The minor can have the court designate a Grandparent, Step-parent, or sibling over the age of 21 as a guardian. Or in the case of hardship (abuse, incest, etc) the court can rule that no parential approval is needed.

I dont anderstand. What happens if the parent says no. Are they going to rase the kid? What happens to the kid latter? Why do you think they have the right to have a say in the matter? Does it matter if the girl is 4 months away from not being a minor? 2 months? 1 week? What is a minor? How did we come up with the exact number that all humans become adults? And finnaly, why is what some one else does with their body and/or life, any of your business? Relegion maybe?

And yes, I do have two daughters.

I agree with you GtoRA2, but that's the reason.

Your minor daughter can't get her ears pierced w/o notification in some states but abortion is kept quiet from the parents.

What age do they class as a minor in the US? Does it vary from state to state?

Clinics should have NO right what so ever to perform any un-needed medical procedure on a child without the consent of the parents.

If you're old enough to do the deed you are old enough to inform your parents and own up to it.

Ok your 12 year old gets prego. You dont think you have the right to know?

I am not saying that they CANT have one. Just that the parent should be informed and be part of the decicison when it is their kid.

Can a kid sign a legal contract?

It sounds like Ohio does not have its political heads up there tulips on this. I can live with those rules.

Letting a 12 or 15 year old girl have abortions without letting the parents know is sick. If the parents are molestors they should go to jail that should not be an excuse.

This is a tough issue. I would say under 16 demand parental notification. Use Social Services, do a blood test whatever to insure it wasnt the dad, brother, whoever. But they should be made aware so they can keep it from happening again. over 16 which is legal to be married in some states well that is up to them if they tell there parents.

Cancer would be a different case. Cacner is an illness whereas pregnancy is not. Not saying I agree with the rules.

so are parents who have the "legal, equitable and moral" responsibilities for raising said child wich by definition of court is not waivable.

OR

My house my rules as my dad allways told me. Then again I never had to tell him I wanted to have an abortion. I guess that's a good thing
