I think the Republicans could be a lot smarter on these laws. Why make the law specific to abortion? Simply push forward a bill requiring parental consent to all medical procedures that could carry risks to health or mental well being. That forces the liberals to argue that you should allow all such procedures. Defeat their attempts to add abortion specific amendments.

We to often have wonderful examples, but don't use them. Working at the edges can be very effective. Its what the liberals did for 50 years. To work against partial birth abortions, start pushing bills specifically banning infanticide after birth. Be specific. The current tactic of pushing for requiring anesthesia for infants being aborted is a good idea. Push bills making it punishable to downgrade a student for having differing political views.

It gets the issues in front of the public and frames the argument the way we want it. That is the power of having a majority in a legislature.

"Simply push forward a bill requiring parental consent to all medical procedures that could carry risks to health or mental well being. "

You make an excellent point and you are absolutely right.

Arnold said the same thing.

From the article:

"Schwarzenegger campaign spokesman Rob Stutzman said the governor believes parents should be involved in their child's medical decisions.

"Just as the law involves parents in all other medical decisions with a child, he doesn't believe abortion should be any different," Stutzman said."
