Should underage girls have the legal right not to tell their parents if they have an abortion?

Freep this Poll.

I only see a poll on cybersex....

And I am not sure exactly what is entailed in cybersex, so I am not sure how to answer that one! ;~D

[laweeks]

Different poll question now . . . "Would you consider having cybersex to be cheating on your partner?"

[Slyfox]

No! Who is paying for the medical insurance? And who would be responsible if something went wrong and the girl was injured?

I think this subject will be big News here in FL next year, Jeb is talking about amending the FL constitution to make sure the parents know.

I remember cutting my foot on glass at a beach at age 17. My boyfriend carried me to the hospital where I "dripped blood" into a metal bowl until they got permission from my parents to sew up the gash. (I removed the stitches myself when I found out that it would cost $5.00!!)

Why don't these simple rules apply to any minor seeking medical care??

This is probably covered by the same privacy right Sandy Dee O'Connor discovered in her pro-homosexual decision. No doubt soon to be followed by legalization of pederasty, bestiality, polygamy, and a host of other privacy rights. Every emanating penumbra makes me ill.

Anyone ever hear the Drug Free America commercials where the children are telling their parents to ask where they are going, who they are going with, to keep track of them EVERY DAY.......

And then we have the abortionists saying the parents have no right to know a thing about their children's activities.

Insanity rules.

I guess it depends on who's right is being trumped. Since Roe V. Wade is the law of the land and underage girls do seek abortions, it would only stand to reason that the insurance companies should sit up and take notice. If the abortion clinic has the right to abort your daughter without your permission, shouldn't that same clinic be held responsible if they maim or kill your daughter?
