Thread from wagglebee on things happening in Idaho.

BOISE, Idaho - A bill that would require unmarried girls under 18 in Idaho to get consent from their parents before getting an abortion has moved a step closer to becoming law.

The Senate voted 23-12 Monday for the measure that would require most girls to get written permission from one parent before the procedure could be performed. Girls who don't want to tell their parents can petition a judge to allow an abortion in cases of incest or abuse, a medical emergency or if the judge decides the girl is mature enough to decide on her own.

How on earth would a judge decide that? And where does the Constitution of the United States give judges authority to issue murder licenses to teenage girls?

Do we really think giving parents authority to consent to the
killing of their grandchildren is progress?
