Teen Safety? Really??

Campaign for Teen Safety. That's the ironic name of Planned Parenthood of California's organization to stop the passage of a parental consent law, Prop. 73. Too bad Planned Parenthood just started to want to keep teens safe after 18-year-old Holly Patterson died in 2003 when she received a RU-486 abortion at Planned Parenthood Golden Gate.

Some excerpts from their arguments against Prop. 73:

And sadly, some teens live in troubled homes. The family might be having serious problems, or parents might be abusive, or a relative may even have caused the pregnancy.

THIS LAW PUTS THOSE VULNERABLE TEENAGERS – THOSE WHO MOST NEED PROTECTION – IN HARM'S WAY, OR FORCES THEM TO GO TO COURT. Think about it: the girl is already terrified, she's pregnant, her family is abusive or worse. She's not going to be marching up to a judge in a crowded courthouse. She doesn't need a judge, she needs a counselor.

Yes, that's right. Teenagers who live in troubled homes with abusive parents don't need a judge, they need an abortion counselor. They need someone whose main objective is to make sure they have an abortion, not an objective judge who hopefully has their best interests at heart and might have the ability to help them with their living situation. Because we all know that abortion solves problems like abusive parents, incest and troubled homes.
