The point is that she did NOT support the law, she supported her NOTION of the law.
The law allows for a minor to seek a "judicial bypass" on the notification, and it sets standards, albeit rather ambiguous standards, to establish whether that judicial bypass should be granted.
What are those standards?
"The court may grant her request if the minor is able to establish she is mature and sufficiently well informed to make the decision to have the abortion without telling her parent or guardian."
Maturity was not an issue, so all that's left is defining "sufficiently well informed to make the decision".
Well, I have no doubt that she was well aware of what her decision meant, and that she had consulted with a physician and addressed what risks she faced.
rather ambiguous standards,>>
you hit the nail on the head.
It's all arbitrary, if he were pro life he would have sided with Priscella Owen, who obviously isn't a good judge since Gonzales did the right thing according to you.
Hey, you can't have it both ways either Gonzales was right and Owen wrong or the other way around.
So, the minor is now an adult, who aborted her living child and will most likely suffer lifelong depression, possibly suicide and an increase risk of getting breast cancer! Way to go Gonzales.
Who knows maybe she's now sterile too.
