Is there any national numbers on this? = ARE THERE.....
none to zero, imo.
Even if the parent DID think it was okay their daughter got an abortion, wouldn't THEY want to check out the doctor and go with them?
Exactly. I'd want a chance to talk to my daughter, to tell her I'd be there for her no matter what, and you know what?
I wouldn't want her to have an abortion and I would care for the baby, help her out, if she didn't want to adopt.
I had started a post...then deleted (because I don't want to get flamed, but here goes, in short form, again.
I once had someone close to me who got pregnant. She had always wanted a baby... but her boyfriend talked her into an abortion.
What I'm saying is, I love my daughter with every fiber of my being and I would never be angry for that. I'd be sad, yes, because it would tell me that I didn't do my job in conveying to her that sex is a spiritual thing and that she should have more respect for herself than to have intercourse at 14.
But that would be my fault.
And I'd want to help her through this.
Who pays for a kids abortion without parental notification?

Or know that that day their daughter had an abortion so they could monitor them like they would under ANY surgical procedure!!! I do not understand how abortion docs and pro-choicers do not see a problem here. If a girl has an abortion without her parents knowledge, she is not going to tell them if she starts bleeding heavily or has other problems so they won't find out about the abortion/sexual activity. So my teenage daughter could be dying and I not even know until it is too late to keep an eye on her. (Not that I would allow it to happen anyway) It's just not healthy. When will these morons realize the pro-choicers could care less about ANYONE. Let alone the ones they claim to want to 'protect'.
