Parental-Consent Abortion Bill
Rep. William Clay (D-MO) stated it as succinctly as possible.
In another sign of the measure’s new support, Democratic Rep. William Clay of Missouri, who staunchly favors abortion rights and voted against the measure in the past, voted for it on Wednesday. Clay said he switched in response to an outpouring of support for the bill from constituents in his St. Louis district.
“This bill simply says that a parent has a right to know if their child is having surgery,” Clay said.
It is also interesting to note the AP wording on the lead paragraph. (Well, actually it’s not that interesting, but at least worth pointing out).
The House passed a bill Wednesday that would make it illegal to dodge parental-consent laws by taking minors across state lines for abortions, the latest effort to chip away at abortion rights after Republican gains in the November elections.
How about this alternate wording, as suggested by Dodo David:
“the latest effort to strengthen parental rights…”
Hmmm… wonder what the AP writer thinks of the bill.
