ABC News had a story about a 15-year-old in Seattle who decided to have an abortion. Upon learning of her choice, the school clinic helped her set up the appointment and provided transportation so that she could get there.
When she found out, the girl's mother was apoplectic:
Thankfully, Washington is not one of the states where youth must notify their parents before having an abortion. No matter what your stance on abortion, allowing parents to legally terrify their children into not making their own choices is not the path to go down.
When she found out, the girl's mother was apoplectic:
But even so, the mother is furious that her daughter, who is on the school's honor roll, was given an abortion without the school notifying her parents.The mother is apparently the kind of parent who not only wants the opportunity to impress her morals upon her daughter from birth but also wants the opportunity to veto every one of her daughter's choices.
