Parental Consent
A teen can’t get her ears pierced without parental consent, but in more and more places they can get surgery without it.
San Diego school officials have upset pro-life advocates by adopting a new policy making it so teenagers no longer need parental consent for a host of activities, including abortion. The new policy makes it so teens can go on their own for confidential medical appointments without parental involvement.
The San Diego Unified Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday night to revise the policy without any opposition or debate.
Pro-abortion voices are, of course, thrilled at putting this sort of responsibility on children.
Vince Hall of Planned Parenthood told the television station he supports the change.
"Every day that the old policy was in effect, every day that the old policy guided people who work in the schools was a day that teens were really being put in danger," he claimed.
Teens were in danger because they had to get their parents’ permission to kill their unborn child? On a daily basis? Really? Hyperbole, anyone?
The only thing in danger was PP profits. Follow the money.
