According to FoxNews.com, on Wednesday, April 27, the House passed a bill that would make it illegal to dodge parental-consent laws by taking minors across state lines for abortions. Due to the public support for parent's involvement in the decisions of their pregnant daughter's, the bill would impose fines, jail time or both on adults and doctors involved in most cases where minors were taken out of state to get abortions done. Some democrats believed that this bill would simply allow parents to be informed that their child was indeed having the operation. If approved by the President, this would be the fifth attempt in trying to reduce the number of abortions.
When dealing with abortions, we need to look at several different scenarios. First if the girl was rapped, and became pregnant, we should allow that girl to have an abortion. But, if this is a minor that was just sexually active, and became pregnant and was not ready to have that child, then she should talk to her parents, the baby's father, and the baby father's parents, and together they should agree on a final decision on the life of that child. Minors should not be able to make such a major decision like this all by themselves. They should consult someone, but more importantly they should be able to consult their parents first, before going to anyone else.
