=== Legislation that would make it illegal in most circumstances for an adult to transport a minor across state lines to avoid certain abortion laws could be enacted this year, according to a House sponsor who has seen similar measures stall in the Senate.
Oh brother ... is this really happening in UTAH?
Because, at my last inventory of the nation, NO STATE but Utah actually had anything remotely resembling "parental consent", much less notification.
Anyone with a third-grade reading comprehension need only READ THE BILLS to realize that the most any of these so-called "parental consent" charades accomplished was a properly-defined Square One as they gave away the store to abortionist -- in the case of Texas, for example -- with increased veils of privacy, caps on damages and fast-tracking of the Mommy Magistrate judicial process whereby the legislation served to found a precedent of court-ordered minor abortions sans either consent from or notice to the parents.
How much longer are "pro-lifers" going to believe the schtick they're sold on this issue?
What don't they understand about the "rape/incest exception" that etches in stone the legitimacy of abortion based on circumstance?
When are they going to realize abortion WAS, IS and ALWAYS SHALL BE a GOP policy? Back in 1970, the GOP's greatest concern about abortion was "availability." Ironically enough, they felt it was a case of economic discrimination that some could not afford to travel to a state where abortions were legal.
They don't preen over themselves as "The Stupid Party" for nuttin, looks like.
No S#i+! The Supreme Court yanked that away from them years ago.
