The ACLU says the vast majority of teens inform their parents about their abortions anyway, but laws mandating notification leave some girls vulnerable. "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," an ACLU statement said.

Infanticide IS NOT "reproductive health care," it's murder.

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.

This is totally off track, but a couple nights ago, I saw JUNO (the movie) ....actually the last showing before they took it out of the theaters.

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.

[Amendment10]

I don't know the details of this issue. But I do know that since the federal Constitution says nothing about abortion, the 10th A. reserves government power to address abortion issues to the states.

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 children

2) The right of a man to be a father

In 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.

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.

Ironic, since he is helping to ensure that fewer of both will be born into this world.

"abortion rights groups . . . anti-abortion forces . . ."

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."

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.
