A federal judge on Wednesday blocked portions of a new Indiana law that would make it tougher for girls under age 18 to get an abortion without their parents’ knowledge.
U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker wrote in approving a temporary injunction that “when it comes to our children, while parents or others entrusted with their care and wellbeing have the lawful and moral obligation always to act in their best interests, children are not bereft of separate identities, interests, and legal standing.”
Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky and the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana sued the state on May 18 seeking to prevent three provisions from taking effect on July 1 and arguing that they create “an unconstitutional undue burden on unemancipated minors.” Barker approved injunctions blocking all three.
One provision of the law would require a judge in most cases to allow parents to be informed that their daughter is seeking an abortion. …

Has there ever been a really good female judge (other than Judge Jeanine) ?
Infanticide is big business in the USA.
Barker worked for both Gilbert Gude and Chuck Percy, both left-wing RINOs. Not a Conservative.

Did Reagan make any effort to choose pro-life judges? I was just a kid back then but it doesn’t seem he was passionate about social issues. (Sandra Day OConner was one of several disasters)
He was absolutely vocally passionate during the 60s and 70s, but the RINOs must have fed him a lot of disinformation in the 80s, never mind that blatantly RINO VP of his. (When he wrote to Nixon in 1960 about JFK being “the same old Karl Marx”, I cannot imagine that he thought Nixon would govern as such a liberal as POTUS.)
Infanticide is a cult of the judiciary. Sad.
Not necessarily bad. As we lose these cases, they work their way towards the Supreme Court...and hopefully, at the same time, Trump gets to put more justices there. Then BOOM!, it’s over for the left.
“when it comes to our children, while parents or others entrusted with their care and wellbeing have the lawful and moral obligation always to act in their best interests, children are not bereft of separate identities, interests, and legal standing.”
Well then, quit murdering them.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!
