Are you pro-abortion and in favor of parental consent?

Asked by JLeslie (65448points) September 11th, 2009

I have trouble understanding this position. I am pro-choice, I would go as far to say pro-abortion, and I am completely against mandatory parental consent. If you are a parent who would have your child on the abortion line if she got pregnant, why do you care if you know or not? Don’t you care more that it is a safely done procedure, and that children who are afraid to tell their parents have the option? Even children who have seemingly good relationships with their parents, and the parents will most likely be understanding and not punitive, still have children who are afraid, or don’t want to tell their parents.

So, please, make me understand the logic behind your position. Why you vote for parental consent.
