Chicago, IL. -- A federal judge refused to allow enforcement of an ill-fated state law requiring teenage girls to notify their parents before getting abortions, potentially ending any chance the decades-old measure will ever take effect.
Abortion rights groups on Saturday hailed the ruling on the legislation that was passed in 1984 and updated in 1995 but has never been enforced because of complex legal wrangling.
"We're very pleased," said Lorie Chaiten of the Illinois chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. "This should be the end of that law." Anti-abortion forces decried the judge's ruling on the law, which says minors can't obtain abortions without telling their parents or getting a court's OK to bypass the requirement. "It's a major defeat for the people of Illinois," said Thomas Brejcha of the Chicago-based Thomas More Society's Pro-Life Law Center. "This is a defensible, constitutional law."
In a decision entered Friday, U.S. District Judge David H. Coar rejected a request from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to dissolve a 1996 order that put the law on hold. The Illinois Supreme Court opened the door to enforcement of the Parental Notice of Abortion Act in 2006 when it issued necessary rules for the notification process.

I just can’t convince the pro-abortion side about the evils of it. They always bring up some BS about hunting and the death penalty. They just can’t accept that pro-life/pro-choice ONLY refers to Roe vs. Wade. They want to attach it to other things, in order to catch people in some bogus lie.
Ah, federal judges. I’ll remember this the next time some fool tells me he’s going to write in “anybody but McCain” to send a message to the Republicans. Surly President Obama will appoint some interesting judges.
Since 1977, there have been just over 1100 executions in the United States. In that same 31 year period there have been OVER 45 MILLION abortions.

Ask them if they would be willing to limit the number of abortions to the number of executions.
I hadn't seen it, knew much about it, but heard it was good.
Even though it's rough in spots, and there's some rough talk, it's one of the best pro-life movies I have ever seen!!!
Just an excellent movie.
I haven’t seen it yet because I despise movie theaters, I plan to get it as soon as the DVD is released. However, EVERYTHING I’ve heard about it has been positive.
I think that the young women who NEED to see this will react more positively to some “rough spots” than they will to something that seems scripted.

I agree.
10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.So I don't know why the federal government had a say in this issue.
In fact, consider the irony that the USSC refused to intervene in the Terri Schiavo case because her case was a state power issue.
Also, regardless that the USSC found the right to have an abortion in the "wild card" 9th Amendment in Roe v. Wade, the Court somehow "overlooked" other 9th A. rights when deciding Roe v. Wade.
1) The rights of unborn childrenIn fact, given that the USSC thought that it had the license to use Jefferson's "wall of separation" from a mere, private letter to help justify its claim that the establishment clause is a restriction on the states, surely the Court should have used Jefferson's "all men are created equal" in the Declaration of Independence to help justify finding the rights of unborn children in the 9th Amendment. After all, Jefferson could just as easily have written that all men are born equal. Instead, Jefferson evidently chose to reflect the beliefs of the signers of the DoI that God-given rights start from the moment of conception.2) The right of a man to be a father
Finally, given that abortion is a state power issue, I find it suspicious that there is no mention of the 10th A. in Roe v. Wade. In fact, this post (<-click) tells how FDR's constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs arguably let to the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion. Note that the post first references two non-abortion cases in order to show Roe v. Wade in a different, troubling perspective.

And this is the vaunted "fair and balanced" Fox.
You'll never see any major news outlet use the phrases: "pro-life groups . . . anti-child forces."
Get a small portable media player, with ultra sounds and uterine photography. Show actual footage of actual infants. Call groups of people together to look at same. Then ask who is willing to chop that baby up and throw it away.
“Ah, federal judges. I’ll remember this the next time some fool tells me he’s going to write in “anybody but McCain” to send a message to the Republicans. Surly President Obama will appoint some interesting judges.”

Spot on GOP Party Animal. Those who advocate that we use our vote to ‘send a message to the RNC’ are only going to help Obama put more federal judges like this on the bench.
Time to appeal. Maybe we can get the SCOTUS to take this up before the election.
“...In the few instances where a young woman is not able to tell her parents, because of fear of abuse, neglect or being tossed from the house, that young woman should not be denied essential reproductive health care,...”
Wow. let’s apply that dangerous logic elsewhere:
Drugs - same thing could happen to young girls. So let’s forbid hospitals, schools, and cops from telling parents about it. Parents might abuse them or kick them out if they found out.
Bad grades - same thing.
Sex with teacher - same thing.
Crime spree - Ditto.
Illegal underaged porn video shoot - ditto.
When the US Constitution was ratified in 1787, it included the Bill of Rights, which declared some specific restrictions on the federal government.
“No person shall...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;...”
The Fifth Amenment’s Due Process REQUIREMENT of the US Constitution.
Under the Fourteenth Amendment, the Due Process clause was incorporated, making the Due Process clause binding on state governments as well as the federal govt.
The Equal Protection clause was added to ensure its uniform application to all persons, commonly understood throughout history and, until 1973, as human beings.
“...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
The 5th amendment’s due processs clause bound federal officials to defend innocent human life. No person, commonly understood to be a human being, could be killed without first being charged and convicted of a crime.
The 14th amendment incorporated the due process clause and added the equal protection clause. No person could be killed by any state, federal, or local official without being charged and convicted of a crime.
The equal protection clause mandated that all people must be treated equally under the law.
Legalized abortion is unconstitutional. It is not a states’ rights issue.
Here we go again.
Lies that kill.
The document opens with an explanation of its purposes. The culminating purpose? "To secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves AND OUR POSTERITY."
So, for those in Rio Linda: The very purpose of the Constitution is to protect those who are yet to be born!
Folks who propagate what you are propagating are in a very real sense worse than Blackmun, the author of Roe. In the majority decision, even he admitted that if the unborn child in the womb is a PERSON, they are therefore protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.
