Laws of every State in the U.S. requires parental notification and permission before minors can receive any medication or medical treatment, except in cases where injuries are life threatening, abortion providers feel they are above the law. Your child’s school can not give your child an aspirin or pierce a student’s ears without parental permission, yet they routinely give students birth control pills and even transport them to clinics for abortions without notifying the parents, let alone getting their permission. In spite of the fact that it is illegal to have sex with a minor and anyone aware of such are required to report it to child protection agencies, school personnel often assist children in getting abortions and abortion clinics routinely perform abortions on minors without notifying parents or child protection agencies as required by law. Some States have been able to push through laws that specifically requires parental notification before a child can get an abortion but abortion providers have managed to get exceptions in some States where a judge can approve for a parental bypass when he feels the girl is in danger if parents are notified. While that sounds good, they then line up judges who will approve such applications without investigating the circumstances or interviewing the girl. Those judges rubber stamp the applications basically bypassing parental notification laws. Republicans have continually tried to push through parental notification and intervention laws which would explicitly require parental notification and intervention before a child can have an abortion, and would provide strong penalties for abortion providers who perform abortions on minors without parental consent and on anyone assisting a girl to get an abortion without notifying the parents. Write your Congressman today and urge them to pass a law to protect young girls from being railroaded into having an abortion.

Overturning Roe vs Wade was not the end but only a shift in the fight. Planned Parenthood  is pushing laws to allow unlimited abortions. They are hiding their involvement by funneling funds through other organizations and disguising their true intensions. In Ohio they pushed through a Constitutional amendment that  would nullify Ohio’s laws to restrict abortion after the baby was able to survive outside the womb. They pushed it on the pretense it would protect women whose health was threatened to gain sympathy, though the Ohio law already included that, but included a phrase that would allow an abortion if the doctors felt the women’s mental health was in danger, which gives them an excuse to perform abortions up to the time of birth, since every unwanted pregnancy is stressful to the mother. They also included a phrase that would not allow anyone to interfere with someone seeking an abortion. That means girls of any age could get abortions and their parents could not interfere with them getting it. Girls only 10 years old could get an abortion and their parents could not prevent it. That is a recipe for disaster. That means a rapist or sex  trafficker could get a girl pregnant and then take her for an abortion to cover it up. There are already numerous instances where rapists and sex traffickers are taking girls to get abortions and the girls are going through repeated abortions because Planned Parenthood has not notified the parents or child protective services. Sex with underage girls is illegal in all 50 States and laws require child protective services be notified when girls request  an abortion. However, Planned Parenthood and other abortionists openly ignore the law. They tell the girl to list her age as eighteen or over so they can avoid the requirements of the law, even though it is easy to tell that most ten year olds are not over eighteen years old. That is a deliberate act to get around the law.  Abortionists would still be guilty of failing to notify child protective services, even if they repeal the laws about notifying parents. The law protects children from sexual exploitation and the child is a person protected by the Constitution and State laws.

Recent reports show that women today between the ages of 25 and 34 are dying at a higher rate than women baby boomers did at that age. The rate of homicides, suicides, and maternal related deaths in that age group are quite a bit higher now. While no study has been done on the exact causes of each, some facts are known. Baby boomers were born after  the Second World War beginning in 1946 and the  first ones reached 25 in 1970.  Roe vs Wade in 1976 opened the doors to abortion. Increased pregnancies out of wedlock have occurred once women were told they could have sex without worrying about pregnancies. They had previously avoided sex due to fear of pregnancy but were assured they no longer had to worry about that and many began engaging in sex while single. Since contraceptives have a high failure rate, which girls were not told, it has resulted in a lot of unwanted pregnancies. Boyfriends and child molesters, upset by the prospect of being saddled with child support have killed the girls to avoid it or at least killed them I a fit of anger. That could be part of the cause in the higher homicide rates. In addition, sex education courses given by Planned Parenthood to middle school and even elementary school which teach children to engage in sex  before they can handle it responsibly and assures them that contraceptives will prevent pregnancy, which is not true, contributes to girls getting pregnant at an early age, before their bodies are fully developed, which could result in serious complications. While working at a pro-life Pregnancy center during a short period while I was out of work, I saw three girls who were pregnant while only eleven years old. A pregnancy at that age could be quite difficult for the girl. In addition, while factors endangering the mother during pregnancy have been reduced to almost non-existent, the deaths from complications in pregnancy have risen. Planned Parenthood does their best to hide the fact that women are rushed to the hospital due to botched abortions, hasty abortions often result in a perforated uterus and numerous cases  have been documented by pro-life sidewalk observers. In addition, women have been sent home with excess bleeding and told not to worry, it will stop. Some who experienced a perforated uterus during the abortion, have gone to the hospital on their own and some have been saved, but others have died, and others did not go to the hospital and died at home. Some coroners have tried to hide abortion deaths by listing them as simply complications in pregnancy. That could account for some rise in pregnancy related deaths. In addition, women having abortions often experience depression afterward. While depression often occurs after giving birth, it is more pronounced after an abortion once the girl realizes she killed a living baby and not just a blob of tissue as she was told. That could account for some of the increase in suicides in that age group. While these three factors could account for some of the rises in deaths, it is hard to tell how much since abortion providers do everything they can to hide the connection between abortions and deaths in women. Anything that can help reduce the death rate in young women should be explored and reducing the deaths from abortions is obviously one possibility.

One of the original arguments for legalizing abortion was that it would reduce the number of back-alley abortions which often caused the death of the mother because they were usually performed by unlicensed doctors under often unsterile conditions. Many portray legal abortions as safe and simple procedures, yet abortions can have serious consequences. While abortion providers try to hide the fact the women die from abortions, it is widely documented. In addition, many women are sent to the hospital, some with life-threatening conditions following an abortion. Although the law requires all medical facilities to be licensed and inspected, abortion clinics claim they are not medical clinics and so not covered by the law. They usually fight attempts to license and inspect them. As a result, conditions in some clinics have been found to be unsanitary and dirty. They haven’t abolished back alley abortions, they just  dressed them up and made them respectable. Although laws in some States require that abortion clinics have admittance privileges at nearby hospitals, many clinics  do not and in fact fight any attempt to require admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. When States try to enforce the law, many clinics close rather than comply. When the Supreme Court said they could not determine when the baby became a person and so the courts could not enforce laws which restricted abortion, they totally ignored laws to protect the women as well. The  woman carrying the baby is definitely a person and the courts should enforce laws designed to protect the mother, but they aren’t.

Men today are getting vasectomies in protest over the overturning of Roe vs Wade. If they had done that in the first place, there would have been no reason for Roe vs Wade. Roe vs Wade was pushed because people want to have their fun and not suffer the consequences, but everything has consequences. The time comes in everything when you have to face up to it, you can’t keep running. Roe vs Wade opened up a flood of people having sex outside marriage. It also opened up a flood of rape and incest as people thought they could have fun and not pay the price. Unfortunately, the girls are having to pay the price. They are being pressured to have sex or it is forced on them and then they are abandoned as soon as they get pregnant.  Our country literally threw its sisters and daughters to the lions and we are paying the price. They tell you once the baby is aborted, the problem is solved. Their problem, unwanted babies, is solved and they are richer, but the women or girls often continue to suffer physically and emotionally and those who push abortion don’t want to be bothered.
