What law would that be? A child lives under my roof they WILL obey my rules or they can leave. The law has no right to my child I made that child my wife gave birth to that child and by God's given right he or she is ours.

Like my mother used to say to me I brought you into this world I can take you out. Usually she was mad at me though.

You had the right to tell someone. We are talking within reason here and abortion without letting the parents know is certainely not within reason its dangerous for one.

The law that says anyone can have an abortion without parental consent. Haven't you been paying attention?

And a fifteen year old going through with pregnancy and childbirth is dangerous, too. In fact, it's more dangerous than an abortion.

Only the right to tell someone? To what purpose? Think, freethinker. Why woud telling someone be a good thing? Because then the authorities might step in and enforce a teenager's rights to not be sexually molested????

Well maybe its time they change that law because not only is it very dangerous and very stupid to have an abortion without letting your parents know in case something does happen, the school can probably be sued in this case because they helped her get the abortion I doubt that is in the law letting minors kill their babies because they are not responsible enough to keep it in their pants or use protection.

You don't have total dominion over your children. They have certain rights that supersede your authority over them.

Let's say you discovered your 15 year old son was sneaking behind your back to recieve medical treating for a deadly, yet treatable disease (oh, testicular cancer or bacterial meningitis) because he knew you didn't approve of medicine (as a Christian Scientist ,or whatever, you believe prayer is the only way). You have no right (moral or legal) to prevent him from seeking and receiving treatment. If you did and harm became him, you'd be tried and sent to jail for a long time.

Well both are very dangerous I guess it's one's opinion without getting a doctor's opinion on which is more dangerous.
