Parential notification for abortion

I favor it. Parents have a right to know if their child is undergoing a medical proceedure.

What she does with her body is her business.

After she's eighteen, maybe, but not as a minor. She would need permission for a tatoo, or a peircing, why not a medical proceedure?

A child is something a girl is responsible for for the next 18 years

And her parents are also responsible for her until she is eighteen. Parents effectivley own their children until they are of legal age.

So the parent should be responsible for the child conceived under 18 until that's 18?  And no parents do not OWN their children until 18.  A father can't have sex with his daughter because it's an object.  That was in Roman times buddy. 

I did not word that well. What I ment that is the parent is responsible for his/her child until he/she is eighteen. No they do not "own" the child, but they are responsible for it's wellbeing.

I believe that children are the responsibility of the parents until they turn 18 - and that includes making medical decisions for them. No other medical procedure can be performed on a minor without parental consent, how is this different? It is a medical procedure that can be dangerous, and the parents would end up paying for any negative consequences.

Dibble, this is basically what I've been trying to say. You said it clearer in one post then I did in four or five :-) Good job.
