House Abortion Bill Passes - Parental Rights Protected
Finally, a legal “loop hole” used to violate parental rights by the abortion industry advocates will soon be slammed shut. Transporting a minor across state lines to obtain an abortion in order to avoid parental notification in the minor’s home state will soon become a federal crime. The 264-153 vote on Tuesday now returns some sense of control and involvement back to parents, at least when it comes to their pregnant daughters who are considering an abortion. Any person who transports a minor across state lines could be fined $100,000 or one year in jail or both. Abortionists will also be held accountable for any illegal abortions.
The abortion bill, and a similar measure passed by the Senate in July, make it a federal crime to take a pregnant girl across state lines for an abortion without her parent’s knowledge.
“It protects minors from exploitation from the abortion industry, it promotes strong family ties and it helps foster respect for state laws,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla. Bill supporters argued that it made no sense that minors who need parental permission to get an aspirin at school or go on field trips can get an abortion without telling their parents.
The House bill also makes it a crime if the abortion provider in the second state fails to give one of the minor’s parents, or a legal guardian, 24 hours notice before an abortion is performed.
The person transporting the minor across state lines, or the doctor who fails to provide notification, would be subject to a $100,000 fine or one year in jail or both. About half the states have some kind of parental involvement law.
It’s encoraging to see that parents are now being allowed some level of participation in the development of morality in their children. I have a feeling there is still a long fight ahead for us, as we attempt to pry the children of America from the tight death grip of the abortion industry.
