Really, this is a bad bill. The correct response would be to declare this a states' right. The feds don't have the authority to deal with this one way or the other.

There are some things that are so horrible they need to be dealt with.

Here is a little more information I found on the bill.

The Oklahoma Republican and practicing physician says he disagrees with the federal policy that allows children to make reproductive decisions without their parent's knowledge

Unless this is inaccurate, it sounds like it's the right place to me. If it's federal policy, as this indicates, then likely it's tied into federal spending at public health clinics and therefore a federal issue.

Perhaps ending federal spending at public health clinics would be appropriate. Let the states and local governments fund them and then the states and local governments can decide on parental notification.

Did you arrive recently on this planet?

There are no (zero) states' rights.
