Parental consent is a stricter requirement than parental notification. ALL's opposition to the stronger restriction that would save more lives is truly bizarre.
However, ALL opposes parental consent because it would set bad legal precedents on at least two counts: 1) it would make the parent an accessory to abortion, both morally and legally
It would also make abortion more difficult and less likely because the parents would be able to stop it, but I guess that doesn't matter to ALL.
2) it sets a precedent for adults permitting other crimes by minors or against minors, and those who cannot protect themselves (such as the disabled, or incompetent patients like Terri Schiavo, etc.)
This makes no sense at all. ALL's logic is more perverted than I thought!
Magnus, I work with my state delegate on these matters and he confirms that it is legally correct. So who is naïve?
It that is true, you both are.
Magnus, NRLC is for exceptions - so that's not all abortions now, is it?
No, NRTL is not FOR exceptions. The difference is that they will accept pro-life legislation that saves babies even if it contains exceptions, while ALL would rather have no legislation than a restriction that only saves 99.9% of babies that would otherwise be aborted.
ALL would support a law that bans abortions on Sunday, providing it has no exceptions because, again, it is the proper form of incrementalism.
I was told by an ALL representative that they wouldn't.
I don't know who you spoke to over there, if anyone, but I'm repeating what Judie told me, and I suggest you call and ask for someone who knows ALL policy.
You can call them if you want, but they already gave me and many others the answer I quoted above. Their website fact sheet I posted earlier says a great deal about their perverted viewpoint.
Magnus, apparently you don't know or understand much about law.
Apparently you and the ALL bunch don't know much about reason, and I thank you for posting your pharisaical poppycock here for all to see. Regardless of their intentions, the ALL cabal is likely doing far more harm than good with their twisted view of morality.

Take a pill, Magnus.
