Conrad, Dorgan Support Abortion For Kids Without Parental Notification

• September 30, 2006

The Senate has gone home without sending the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act on. You’ll remember it passed this summer, but Harry Reid held it up from going to conference. The House passed another version this week, sent it on. Last night they failed to get cloture on it (to end the debate) — a number of Dems changed their votes to make that happen including Bayh, Carper, Conrad, Dorgan, Inouye, Kohl, Nelson (FL) and Salazar.

What this bill would have done is make it illegal to transport a child across a state line for an abortion without the consent of said child’s parents.
I fail to see how anybody who has even a modicum of respect for parental authority can stand against this bill. Minor children are the responsibility of their parents. In the absence of that responsibility (in the case of abuse, etc.) they are the responsibility of the state.
There is simply no scenario that can justify the transportation of a minor across state lines to avoid notifying the parents of an abortion. Opponents of this legislation in the pro-abortion crowd would tell you that the law would require parental consent even in instances where the parent was abusive and/or even the incestuous parent of the unborn child. That’s nonsense. The court system/human services agencies already have all the power they need to remove children from homes where they are abused and/or molested.
And besides, if a child is pregnant from an abusive father (or even at risk of being abused simply because she’s pregnant) the proper course of action is not to spirit the kid across state lines for an abortion. What does that solve? The proper course of action is to report the abuse/molestation to the authorities.
But that logic escapes abortion advocates who are more interested in seeing young girls getting abortions than seeing them discuss this important, life-altering decision with their parents who might just convince them not to get an abortion. This is the same reason why the pro-abortion crowd doesn’t want these young women seeing ultrasounds of their unborn children. It’s much easier to sell an abortion when you keep the young girl in the dark about her decision as much as possible.

Yes, if they had done that, it would have, but they didn’t do that.

This shows you how radical the pro-abortion crowd is and how deep in the pocket Conrad and Dorgan are to the liberal interests in Washington.

Transporting kids accross state lines for abortions, I didn’t know postnatal abortion was legal, man that’s sick.

Should parents be able to force their children to have abortions? Should it require parental consent to have a pregnancy?

Dru’s case went federal because she was taken over statelines. Abortion over statelines is equaly goulish.

Dorgan gets alot of facetime in news because of Dru’s case and she is dead. Why doesn’t he have an much interest in living babies?

It is SO ludicrous for the state of ND to be trying to get population lured back from other states, and then they have Dorgan and Conrad keep the doors open for abortions.

How is it that Dorgan and Conrad keep getting elected?
Dave

They’re buying elections, basically, with their out of state money and all the federal money they bring in.

I didn’t even get to vote last year, with all those damn commercials. Damn those politicians, always off allowing free people to make free decision!
Dave

For better or worse, elections are lost and won based on money.

No, they’re won based on votes. Whichever candidate gets more, wins. If there’s a tie, though, you’re right: Money is the first tiebreaker. (Hot dog eating contest is second, followed by a coinflip.)

Although, since we get to make things up about elections, can I say “elections are lost and won based on looks“? That’d be a little more exciting… and equally untrue!

So…let me get this straight: A kid can’t get a tattoo without parental approval or go to an “R” rated movie without an adult. A kid can’t buy cigarettes, or have a drink, or even stay up past the established curfew many communities now have installed. BUT – it’s okay to have an abortion (which means that the child has had sex – and quite possibly unlawful sex – or even that the child could have been abused) without notifying the parents.

Well, Im glad we have our priorities straight. Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m going to find a pillow to scream into.
Dave

This shows you how radical the pro-abortion crowd is and how deep in the pocket Conrad and Dorgan are to the liberal interests in Washington.

Of course, had they voted the other way on this issue, it would have been just another example of how Dorgan and Conrad always shift toward the center when the campaign season heats up.

So if a child wants to have a pregnancy, but her parents refuse, you would punish the cab driver who took her out of the state to have her child? That’s sick!

PN, it’s because they have millions in out of state money they get from political connections in D.C. which they use to drown out challengers who have to rely on money they raise in ND.

They’re buying elections, basically, with their out of state money and all the federal money they bring in. Some may say that the federal money coming in is a good thing, but I personally don’t think its good for North Dakota to be so dependent on it. That money comes with strings attached, and the more of it we get the less sovereignty this state has.

The fact that abortions are currently legal is pretty sick, but a parent’s autonomy in raising his/her/their child is worth protecting. It is not the cab driver’s place to make that decision.

And a cab driver can already be held liable for helping a runaway stay away from her parents.

The answer to both of your questions is “yes.”

Parents should have full control of their children.

For better or worse, elections are lost and won based on money. Conrad, Dorgan, etc. can spend millions drowning out everything their opposition has to say.

That’s why they’re winning. IT sure as hell isn’t their policy choices.
