subject: Idaho Gov. Signs Bill Restoring Parental Consent on Abortion

From: "J Young" 

Imagine any other non-emergency medical procedure being performed on a
child without parental consent. The protest would be rightfully angry and
loud. The most important decision in this child's life, to decide whether
her baby will live or die, should be made with the love and guidance of her
parents.

Boise, ID (LifeNews.com) -- Idaho Gov Butch Otter signed a bill Tuesday
that would make it so a teenager would not be able to get an abortion
unless her parents gave their consent. The measure is another attempt to
put the idea on the books since courts have declared previous consent
statutes unconstitutional.

Idaho has been without a Parental Consent Law since 2005, when federal
District Court Judge Lynn Winmill enjoined Idaho from enforcing the law
because of his concerns over the notification of parents in the event an
abortionist performed an emergency abortion on their child.

As a result, teenage abortions have been on the rise in recent years.
