He voted against parental notification!

I am not an abortion-only voter, but if he voted agains that, WHY THE HELL IS HE EVEN BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE POSITION????? He would not vote to allow PBA to be banned even!

Have you even read his opinion on why he voted the way he did? It was a 6-3 vote if I remember correctly so there were five others that felt the same way, but maybe for different reasons.

He did not vote against parental notification. The Texas legislature passed a law requiring parental notification unless the minor seeking an abortion could prove one of 3 exceptions. In several cases, he voted that the minor had not proven any of the exceptions; in one case, he voted that the minor had proven one of the three. He said in his opinion that opposition to abortion was not a ground to disregard what the legislature had written.
