ABORTION: State lawmakers consider compromise requiring parental notification.
By SEAN COCKERHAM scockerham@adn.com
JUNEAU -- State legislators are talking about compromising on a major abortion battle over parental consent, but Gov. Sarah Palin isn't interested in the deal.
The compromise under discussion would be legislation that requires parental notification but not consent. That means parents would have to be told about their teenager's plan to have an abortion but wouldn't have to give their permission for it to happen.
North Pole Republican Rep. John Coghill, with Palin's backing, is still pushing for the full version generally requiring parental consent before girls under age 17 could get an abortion. But the state Senate blocked a similar bill last year and, without the compromise, it's hard to see how that wouldn't happen again.

Well, one good positive thing on her side.
“Sarah Taking a stand” Ping!
Sarah ping
I wonder what it is like to have Santa as a constituent?
Bet he's never heard that line before - sorry...
What do you mean “one”?
I can think of many more.
Palin has grit - something desperately needed in the pubbie party.
PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
A tooth being yanked out of a kid’s mouth must be done under consent by a parent but they want this changed when a baby is yanked out of a kid’s uterus?
If Palin can’t get parental consent to pass, then she should compromise to get parental notification. Then wait for more friendlier legislators to be elected to pass parental consent. Its what happened in Texas.
Basic of common law — the parents have complete authority over minor children, up to and including them selling them for slaves, in jurisdictions where slavery is allowed.
When we supplant that parental law, ALL end up slaves to a state tyranny of some sort.
But this can’t be! Palin is pro-abortion, she appointed that pro-abortion judge < /Palin bashers >
I still want to hear her say in uncompromising terms that because Roe vs. Wade was never a Constitutional decision in the first place, all appointees to the United States Supreme Court should be fully willing to overturn it.
I am glad that she is fighting for parental consent, which can actually stop abortions, as opposed to merely parental notification, which does not.
My Girl bump!
God Bless Sarah!
I wish our FL “Republican” governor had half the Spine she does.
