Illinois Supreme Court: Girls under 17 must inform parents if aborting
Washington Post ^ | July 1, 2013

Posted on 07/11/2013 5:38:22 PM PDT by SMGFan

The Illinois Supreme Court is allowing the state to enforce a 1995 law that requires doctors to notify parents of girls under 17 years old if their daughter is undergoing an abortion at least two days before the procedure. The law has been disputed since its passage and has been enforceable until now.

This must P.O. the liberals, they have been working for years to take rights away from parents because they believe all children belong to the government.

so a child called Martin gets show and he;s just a 17 year old child but a 14 year old girl is alright to have sex in violation of the law, get a morning after pill with no permission and kill a baby.

When will these dopes understand kids are kids and now pawns for their homo, victim abortion agenda

If you are thinking of Plan B, it is *not* an abortion pill. It is a rather strong contraceptive meant to be used after unprotected sex.

The abortion pill is RU486, and it is not available over the counter.

i’ve never understood why parental permission is needed for ear piercing, or for a school nurse to administer medication, but it’s okay for a child to have an invasive medical procedure secretly. Never understood the liberal logic on this.

The NARALs will just call one of their pet Federal judges to reverse the state Supreme Court ruling.

It acts like the pill, which means it can stop ovulation, stop fertilization, or stop implantation. The bottom line is that it prevents pregnancy. If, despite taking it, a woman gets pregnant anyway, the pregnancy will be normal. Unless she decides to kill the kid...

I agree, Plan B should not be sold to children. It is a stronger drug than the pill, and may be safe to take once or twice. However, there almost certainly will be some who will take it every time they have intercourse. It is not intended to be taken that way, and I don’t think that kind of usage is safe.

There is no liberal logic.

Girls who know their parents will be told if they want an abortion might not decide to get pregnant. And then the abortion industry won't make money off them. That's why pro-aborts hate the idea of parental notification.

That is only true if you define conception as implantation. Many do not. There is a unique entity at the moment of fertilization.

You should at least acknowledge the distinction even if you don't agree with it.

Being a medical researcher, I'm extremely aware that it takes more than just a unique set of DNA and a diploid cell to make a human being. You need the biological structures that can support awareness and thought--the nervous system. And that doesn't develop until 3 weeks after fertilization. Before then, they are no more aware than a scraping of skin cells that I might want to culture in a dish.

With or without contraceptives, most fertilized ova do not implant. I don't get myself worked up over them.

Liberals are driven by emotion, promiscuity and crisis. Not by logic, rational sense or reason.

Look at it like this...

Liberals are the children and conservatives are the adults.

Liberals were not held accountable for their actions when growing up because Government interfered with discipline in family, schooling & social authority. Now that they are all growed up they have become politicians and want to turn America into a nanny state where Government would directly control discipline in schooling, family and behavior. Just like when mommy was controlled by government by limiting punishment and rewarding failure. These spoiled children who live in adult bodies were never allowed to be disciplined by the authority of family, fear God or learn independence and personal liberty... that is to choose freely and be accountable for those choices and the consequences those choices brought upon them. Because the liberals coddled them with social safety nets, protection from and the eradication of God from the classroom.

All of course for the purpose of making them life-long Democrats and dependent on government. Indoctrinated in the public schools by Marxist teachers from K to 12 to forever embrace the Liberal socialist mantra that says... “Government is here to help you, protect you and provide for you...”

Liberals resent authority imposed by moral truths and will cry “Separation of Church and State!” The 10 commandments are born from the creed of fanatics and religious zealots! How dare those right wing nut-jobs try to indoctrinate me with natural law and the virtues of civility and decency?

To a liberal... life is all about what they want, how they feel, and the resentment of being judged. It’s always someone else’s fault... “Blame anyone but me!”, they will say. Or “... who’s gonna take care of my problem?”. Sure I saw the sign that said “No trespassing, beware of dogs ” posted on that 6ft fence... but I climbed over it anyways because the owner should have made the fence higher if he really wanted to keep me out. Now I’m suing the owner for shooting me in the leg because he used unnecessary force against me... Of course no way it was the liberals fault.

Libs are the most retarded brain-dead idolizing vile juvenile trash.

The liberal is continually angry, as only a self-important man can be, with his civilization, his culture, his country and his folks back home. His is an infantile world view. At the core of a liberal is the spoiled child -- miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats. - P. J. O'Rourke

Fine, “medical researcher”, don’t get worked up over it. You made a blanket statement that is not accepted as fact universally by other medical researchers, doctors, gynecologists, etc..

We do know that the zygote is not the mother, and it is not the father. Stating that a central nervous system is necessary for a human being to be present is arbitrary, and allows for further weaseling, where someone will say that the embryo’s nervous system is less developed at time x than a crustacean’s.

When zygotes, blastocysts, embryos, fetuses, infants, adolescents, etc. die of natural causes there is no moral dimension. I don’t get myself worked up over a fertilized ova that fail to implant either, as long as a human agent isn’t purposefully frustrating the implantation.

To be honest, you should have clearly stated this as your “medical researcher’s” opinion, and not a Universal Truth.
