At least some good pro-life news is coming from my state. The state Supreme Court upheld the law that says “no person shall intentionally cause, aid, or assist a minor to obtain an abortion without the consent” of a parent or court. It also gives parents the ability to take legal action against those who break the law. It only makes sense, when you’re talking about something as serious as abortion, that a minor be required to have the consent of one or both parents! I mean they need parental consent to take Tylenol at school!!!
My good friend, Patty Skain, the Executive Director of Missouri Right to Life had this to say:
“This law was written to really protect the rights of parents…minors will go out of state — and, in a way, almost be lured out of state — and not have the benefits of having their parents there to help them in that decision.”
Three cheers for the MO Supreme Court!
