Thank God!!!

When I was doing my anti-abortion clinic work, we spent a good amount of time trying to get the local authorities to check clinics for things as inane as fire code violations and handicapped parking access. No one would pay them a visit. Forget about medical oversight, no one would take them on.
When I was a high school student taking US & Virginia Government, I noticed that a 16-year-old girl could not get her ears pierced without parental consent. Yet that same girl could legally get an abortion without her parents ever being notified.
“God is smiling when they frown!”
