Parents must consent before their child can receive aspirin at school or go on a field trip, but that same child can be taken across state lines and coerced into obtaining an abortion. Thirty states have parental notification laws.  However, all too often, adults ignore these laws in an effort to facilitate an abortion for the young expectant mother. This bill protects young girls facing unexpected motherhood from the pressure of outside parties to terminate their pregnancy. Performing abortions without parental notification puts girls at high risk for life-threatening complications.  Since the girl's medical history of the abortion could be unknown or secret, doctors could have difficulty treating an arising complication. H.R. 1295 protects our children and ensures they are not making adult decisions without the guidance and wisdom of their parents. Send this article to a friend:    Top of Page
