New Hampshire's new parental notification law, which corrects defects in an
earlier measure that has caused problems in the U.S. Supreme Court, is awaiting
the signature of Governor John Lynch (D).
State Rep. Kathleen Souza (R) points out that Lynch is the same governor who
signed the bill that repealed the law originally passed in 2003. Abortion
proponents are lobbying hard to convince Governor Lynch to veto the new measure,
even though Souza views it as a common-sense bill.
"There's always a
contingent, and unfortunately, it's a contingent that might stand to profit from
this that would like to say otherwise," the representative notes. "And then
there are some people in the medical profession who actually think that a doctor
knows best and that he should have that. It's more of, not an economic, but a
power consideration."
The
bill requires parental notification at least 48 hours before a minor can have an
abortion. (Parental
notification awaits approval )
(Billy's Thoughts>>>> No matter your view on abortion don't you think parents have a right and duty to know before their minor child has an abortion. This is more than an abortion issue as important as that is, this is a parent's rights issue.)
