Planned Parenthood, hard at work defending your children's right to abortion on demand

ACLU Idaho Affiliates File Lawsuit Challenging State Law Requiring Parental Consent for Minors Seeking Abortions

Planned Parenthood of Idaho and the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho on Monday filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court challenging the constitutionality of a new Idaho law requiring parental consent for minors seeking abortion...

Yeah. Our old pals at PP are at it again, defending the rights of children to undergo major medical procedures without the knowledge or consent of their parents.

Here's the tiredest, oldest line of [expletive deleted] you'll ever see:

PPI Executive Director Rebecca Poedy said the new law is "dangerous" and could put teenagers at risk for homelessness and abuse by "disapproving parents," according to the AP/Spokesman-Review. She added that state legislators should focus more on preventing teen pregnancy.

Could there possibly be a REASON that the parents are "disapproving"... hmm? Maybe because their daughter is engaging in extramarital sex? Which is, by the way, illegal for minors? Or perhaps because their daughter is seeking to have their grandchild torn into pieces and sucked into a sink? Yeah, I'd be disapproving of that.

This is an issue I really, truly DO NOT GET. Take, for instance, the Elizabeth Smart case in Utah. Should her parents have just been told "Sorry, she's just gone." or "She was kidnapped and coerced by these two religious freaks, but you don't have the right to demand she be returned home"? Of course not! But that's what PP would have said if little Elizabeth had instead disappeared to an abortion clinic: "Sorry, you have no right to find out anything about your daughter. We just did a medical procedure on her without your consent because she chose not to tell you. She said she was afraid you'd disapprove." She is UNDER AGE... she isn't allowed to vote, isn't allowed to drink or smoke, can't get her ears pierced without parental consent, but she can receive prescription medication (birth control pills) or an abortion without letting Mom & Dad know? This is so totally and ridiculously wrong.

Can someone please explain to me why PP and the ACLU and NOW all seem to want abortions to happen as often as possible? They like the "safe" and "legal" part, but whenever we try to make it "rare" they pitch a fit...
