For all of you Twitter folk out there I saw an astonishing (like when John saw the Harlot on the Beast in the book Revelation; astonishing) twitter post the other day. Apparently, a conversation had been going back and forth about keeping abortion legal and the need to expand the basic civil rights of all women. Ok, now here is the zinger, the basic civil right that was “worth fighting for” is the right for a child/minor to have an abortion without parental consent or notification.

This is ridiculous! I feel the need to once again state that a child CANNOT even be given Tylenol by a nurse at school without parental consent. What is so very wrong with having parents involved in the life of their child anyway? Stats show that once parental consent comes in to play the abortion rate goes down.

Parents are not to be outlawed and family is not a curse. Family is at the heart of our nation and the chord that binds civilized society together. Do we really want to outlaw parents? Is this really a good idea? NO. C’mon. Seriously, do we even need to go over this? Parental notification and consent for a minor to have an abortion is just plain wisdom. Enough said.
