Abortion consent measure now law
Perry signs bill, requiring written parental approval, at a church school

FORT WORTH - In a ceremony filled with religious references, Gov. Rick Perry signed a bill at a church school gymnasium Sunday that imposes more limits on late-term abortions and requires minors to get written parental consent for abortions.

"And it has been a tragedy of unspeakable consequences that for decades activist courts denied many Texas parents their right to be involved in one of the most important decisions their young daughter could ever make ? whether to end the life that was growing inside her," Perry told a crowd of about 1,000 people gathered at Calvary Christian Academy. "For too long, a blind eye has been turned to the rights of our most vulnerable human beings ? that's the unborn in our society."

During the 1 1/2 -hour program, Perry also signed a resolution amending the Texas Constitution to ban same-sex marriages. However, that signature was only ceremonial since voters must approve the ban in November.

Texas already had a parental notification bill, approved in 1999. The new measure requires a parent to provide written consent for unmarried girls under 18. The bill also restricts doctors from performing abortions on women who have carried a child for more than 26 weeks unless having the baby would jeopardize the woman's life or the baby has serious brain damage.

Parental notice is one thing, parental consent is something else entirely. The woman carrying the child will bear the ultimate responsibility for itsupbringing. She alone should be the one that decides whether or not to have it.

A child should not make that decision. It is not she who will be responsible for that child. It is her parents or parent (mother) who will raise that child.
Now days we are talking about 14, 15, year old children. What business do they have in an abortion clinic without a parent. If she dies on the abortion table, then they will notify the mother.
Everything a child does before 18 the parent should know and give consent. A parent has to give consent before a child can go on a field trip but not to get an abortion!!!!

Oh you said she alone should decide. She and the father should decide. Like wise if the father is a child himself, his parents should decide with the parents of the girl.

In a practical sense, the girl's parents may be responsible for raising the child. But in a legal sense, its the girl's responsibility. Therefore she should make the decision as to whether to keep the child or not. This is not a group decision with the parents, father's parents, etc involved. It is a personal matter for the woman carrying the child.

Come now, JSU. Look around. The mother of the girl raises the child. in Tennessee the parents of the minor has to pay child support and they should be left out?
There is nothing personal about a 14 year old having a baby tht is the attitude tht gets most of them pregnant

Yep they should be left out. The circumstances surrounding the potential upbringing of a child don't really matter when it comes to having an abortion. When a teen has a baby, the grandparents will have a lot of influence with the child's upbringing. I acknowledge that. But the decision to have the child is for the mother to decide alone. In a practical sense, who gives birth to the child and who will actually take care of the child are related. In a legal sense, they aren't.

Soon we will have to agree to disagree, but hear this.
"I am raising my 12 year old in a 2 room shotgun. Ihave the bed and she has the couch. We eat every other day since I can not afford it. We each have one pair of jeans that we wash every other day and put back on."
She can bring a child into this and I have no say so!!!!! She will not provide any thing for that child.

ps-I am just debating and it may seem that I support the side that I do not. I do not believe in any ELECTIVE abortion. I do believe that the PARENT should have input.

I agree that the parent should have input. But the final decision should be the mother's. I don't believe in forcing someone to have an abortion no more than i believe in forcing someone to carry a child that they don't want.
 
Again we just disagree. Especially now that you bring in other points.

If you were not raped (and I do not agree even then) or the baby will not kill the mother, then you should have that innocent baby that you enjoyed creating.
