Mother furious after in-school clinic sets up teen's abortion
 Source: Komo4news

SEATTLE -- The mother of a Ballard High School student is fuming after the health center on campus helped facilitate her daughter's abortion during school hours.

The mother, whom KOMO News has chosen to identify only as "Jill," says the clinic kept the information "confidential."

When she signed a consent form, Jill figured it meant her 15 year old could go to the Ballard Teen Health Center located inside the high school for an earache, a sports physical, even birth control, but not for help terminating a pregnancy.

Jill says her daughter, a pro-life advocate, was given a pass, put in a taxi and sent off to have an abortion during school hours all without her family knowing.

I'm for abortion being a choice but this is shocking to me.

50. A woman has a right to choose. The mother needs to stay out.
 Doesn't matter the age.

54. This is bullshit. A young teenager is not a woman.

193. Children have rights, too. One of them is to not have their reproduction
 completely controlled by adults.

190. Can 15yr old consent to Apendectamy?
 Seems to me that when we can't trust kids to carry their own Asprin in school. Somebody other than themselves should be required to make the Legal decision. And if not the Parent/Guardian maintain such legal records documenting why such a decision was made to circumvent. IMO

192. So my rights as a parent are restricted...
 simply because someone else MIGHT be a piece of shit with regards to their kids? Is it also okay to bomb countries because they MIGHT have weapons of mass destruction?

208. I am asserting my right to be involved in my minor child's healthcare
 Do you support a child being able to get ANY other medical procedure done without parent's knowldege?

216. Yes. when the minor requests medically appropriate care that the  
 parent disagrees with, the minor not only gets the care, but gets all privileges of medical privacy.

Do I think that a JW's child should be able to get a transfusion without parental consent? Yes.

231. Do you include cosmetic surgery as well?
 How about breast implants? Do kids also get to decide if they can get a facial tattoo? It IS their body, after all.

I only featured my personal pet DUmmy, but there's lots more idiocy, nay, hypocrisy, at the link:

My personal pet DUmmy would be the first to sue if anyone ever carted her kid off for unapproved medical procedures.

Edit to correct dreadful typos.

Just goes to prove that they love abortion above all else.  A parent's right to control what the state can and cannot do with their child and what a doctor can and cannot do to their child takes a distant backseat.  And these jackasses have the unmitigated gall to claim that they are not socialists.

Europe has already introduced pre-teen sized condoms. Its only a matter of time before Kevin Jennings has them in every elementary school along with his orgs explicit booklets promoting sex. The Girl Scouts will no doubt be in on that too.

I guess that means if the sex that created the pregnancy was consensual,even if it was with a 30 year old teacher for example only,then no charges can be brought against him.

As much as they deny it, liberals want to do away with Age of Consent laws.  These are major sick puppies.

You beat me to it. I was going to point out it was only fair the school did this since the odds are it was a teacher who knocked the kid up.

Even still if it was two 15 year olds which one would they say should be prosecuted?

Of course they do. They really are the uber-perverts.
