Abortion advocates insinuate that if a girl doesn't want to tell her parents about her pregnancy that they somehow don't have the right to know or that they are not good parents. HOGWASH.
We are talking about an invasive surgical procedure with life changing and emotional and physical consequences, not smoking behind the gym. Girls are most likely to be impregnated by men, not boys. The younger the girl, the older the man. Many times the manipulative predator or other parents are pressuring the girl. Does anyone besides hard core-abortion is the answer to everything abortion activists really believe that we should leave the decision of whether impressionable, vulnerable and manipulated young girls, should decide if parents should know? Does anyone believe we should leave them to the intentions of the child predator or to the parents of a teen father who stands to be cleared of his responsibility at the girl's expense, or the abortion clinic which profits from the abortion?
Many times the girl is ashamed and doesn't want to embarrass her parents. But parents want to know to protect their children. If parents are going to be responsible for their children, they need to have the authority to be responsible. They can't help if they don't know. Parents resent the notion that life changing decisions can be best handled by people who stand to benefit from their daughter’s abortion and not them.
There will be SOME parents who will be abusive, but that doesn't mean we PUNISH ALMOST ALL parents to prevent abuse by some. We have laws to punish child abusers and we have scores of agencies working to protect kids.
