The courts have more power than the normal parent. The courts have powers to take away parental rights for instance. It may not be right, but the power of the courts has always been greater than the pwower of normal parents. In fact, many parents petition the courts on behalf of their children to intervene and take control because the courts can do things the parents cannot.
It is consistant that the courts are not subject to the same laws as the parents.
In general, true. But this case is not about parental rights, because when it comes to obtaining an abortion, the parents HAVE NO RIGHTS. The Florida Supreme Court rule in the case I cited is that the MINOR has the right to choose an abortion, and CANNOT be required to obtain court or parental permission to exercise that right.
So, the court gave a apprantly unqualified right to pregnant female minors. Now, if it wants to, the Florida Supreme Court can condition the right that it gave to pregnant female minors. It can say that pregant female minors living at home have that right, but pregnant female minors under state control do not have that right. I'm curious how they justify giving some, but not all pregnant minors the right to obtain an abortion, unfettered with the chore of first obtaining permission.
