mexitucky Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 The entire issue will be tied up long enough for nature to take its coarse! Doesn't matter, it is repeatable and therefore hearable. This will make it's way to the Supreme Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkypete Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It's great IMO that life won over death, but this family is in bad shape going forward. Very sad. We are so much a "me" society. Our relationships these days are based on how they benefit us (or cramp our style) instead of genuine, sacrificial love for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75center Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I agree that it is a shame that the family is split on this rather than standing together. I wonder if the parents ever considered making a move to a more liberal area. I get the feeling the ruling would have gone their way in San Francisco.

I wonder if the parents ever considered making a move to a more liberal area. I get the feeling the ruling would have gone their way in San Francisco. And that would have been a great win for them? It's strange how this is backwards pro-choice. Pro-choice supporters want the woman to be able to choose what happens to her body. It follows then that this 17 yr-old should be able to choose not to abort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 My opinion is based on consistency. I believe that a parent should have to consent before a minor has any medical procedure including abortion. Current laws say that a minor does not need a parent's consent or even knowledge before having an abortion so why would she need their consent not to have one? Your response is exactly why I asked my question that UKMF was bothered by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling the ruling would have gone their way in San Francisco. To me, the bolded statements seemed like you were saying that the parents would have won their case if they lived in a more liberal area. My apologies if I misinterpreted your meaning.

75center Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I did mean that but I didn't say it was good, just an observation on cultural differences around the country. That's one reason why something like this will probably end up at the SC some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
