Ask your elected state representatives and senator why we need HB 1442 (Establishing parental notification requirements for abortion) and why they do not support it!
Your 13-year-old child can be transported, without parental knowledge or consent, from school to off-site counseling and even such places as Planned Parenthood. Then, once in the confidence of a “counselor,” who may not share the moral values the parents have struggled to instill in their child, a teenage girl can be talked into, and walked into, an abortion before the parents even know she is pregnant. I don’t think even most school boards are aware of this.
To take a leaf from Sen. Daniel Webster’s book: “Good intentions are always pleaded for any assumption of Authority. It is not too much to say that, The Constitution was made to guard us against our elected officials’ good intentions.”
Elected officials take an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. It is time they did so, and do their part in stopping this horrendous infringement of parental rights.
