Arizona Governor Candidate Fred DuVal: Okay for 14-Year-Old to Get Abortion Without Parental Consent
Life News ^ | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 10/16/2014 11:39:08 AM PDT by Morgana

Arizona gubernatorial candidate Fred DuVal is coming under fire for saying he doesn’t think a 14-year-old should get parental consent before having an abortion. Here’s what he said during an interview:

Host: “Notarized parental consent? Parental notification?”

Fred DuvalDuVal: “[sigh] Uh, consent, no. Because I believe that then gives the choice of reproductive freedom to the parents and not to the expectant mother and I believe the expectant mother has that…”

Host: “And she’s 14…”

DuVal: “Yeah.”

Responding to the comments, Gail Gitcho, communications director for the Republican Governor’s Association, said she found DuVal’s remarks off-putting.

“It is both disturbing and troubling that Fred DuVal, as a father, would say that parents have no right to consent to what their children decide to do with their bodies,” Gitcho said. “To actually say, ‘yeah,’ a 14-year-old girl should be able to get an abortion without parental consent is so far out of the mainstream, it is shocking. Years of polling demonstrate that Americans – Republican, Democrat and in-between – believe parents have a right to know and to consent to what their adolescent children are doing, specifically when it comes to this very serious issue. DuVal is too extreme for Arizona.”

DuVal faces pro-life Republican Doug Ducey in the contest. Ducey had an 11 percentage point lead in the last poll.

Common attribute of leftism/humanism/satanism -

good is called evil and evil good
sweet is bitter, bitter is called sweet

everything is turned upside down from what is Truth.

Why not just kill the 14 year-old while your at it? I mean it not like a teenager is a viable person either? If your going to be arbitrary why distinguish between 14 weeks and 14 years - oh wait I forgot 14 year old sluts always vote democrat when they get older, now I see the difference.

14 year olds have “reproductive freedom”??

So that means we can’t say NO! to the kids?

We have to provide the medicine for my daughter to take, also. It is in the nurse’s locked cabinet with her name on the bottle.

You have it all wrong Gerry. It means we can’t say NO to the adults in their lives.

So, I can’t rely on my 14 year child to make their own food choice in the cafeteria but I can in the Planned Parenthood Office?

Why don't these people just make it nine, and get it over with?

Nine year old rape victims need mercy too, and their rapists wouldn't have to deal with all that angst.

“How many abortions should they be allowed at 14?”

We are talking the abortion industry here. There is no limit. If you have the money they will do the abortion.

If the statutory rapist brings in the 14 year old, they will do the abortion NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

14 is below the age of consent, so the 14 year old can’t legally give consent for an abortion, any more than they could go into a hospital and give consent to donate a kidney, or go to a dentist and give consent to have their braces taken off.

DuVal is just a hack for the teachers union. He will lose the election. Ducey will win, and he is a conservative.
