M y 16-year-old daughter cannot have her tonsils, or anything else in or on her body, removed without my knowledge. In fact, she can’t have any type of medical procedure or surgery done without either my written consent or parental notification in this state. She is a minor, which means I as her parent am legally responsible for her medical treatment and other health-related decisions.
So if my daughter can’t so much as get her ears pierced without my signature, why would she be allowed to get an abortion without a requirement for me to know about it?
