Informed consent is required for every invasive medical procedure, from getting your ears pierced to having an abortion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think the objective of an abortion clinic is to try to talk women out of having the procedure. That obviously would not be positive for their bottom line.
I, for one, respect those who believe with all their hearts and conscience that there are no circumstances under which any abortion should ever be available.
Let me be the first to say I can't remember ever having a conversation about the definition of consent when I was a kid. I knew that 'no' meant 'no,' but that's it.
We will hold Planned Parenthood accountable for knowingly endangering their patients by providing illegal abortions at a facility that was not properly licensed nor prepared to handle an emergency.
I haven't heard Obama ask us for our consent when he's trying to ram Obamacare down our throats.
Abortion's a private decision. But I just think it shouldn't be federalized.
In addition, the bill passed by the House requires a person performing an abortion on a minor from a different state to notify one parent in the home state.
I am open and will continue to be open to ways to limit abortion. What I am not open to is to removing the right.
To be sure I must; and therefore I may assume that your silence gives consent.
We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.
