We can now add underage teenage girls and their parents to the ACLU's
enemies list. There is no sane logic that can excuse performing intrusive
surgery, which comes with risks of death or permanent injury, on a child
without informing and receiving consent from that child's parents or legal
gaurdian.

ACLU Fights Illinois Parental Notification Law
CHICAGO, October 30, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU) recently brought forward a suit in Illinois state court to
block the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act, after the ACLU lost its
bid in federal court earlier this year to stop the law from going into
effect.
On Thursday, the Thomas More Society, a public interest firm, filed a
petition in Cook County Circuit Court to intervene on behalf of three
attorneys for the state of Illinois defending the Illinois Parental Notice
of Abortion Act.
State Attorneys Stewart Umholtz of Tazewell County, Edward Deters of
Effingham County, and Raymond Cavanaugh of Henderson County are seeking to
have the case dismissed.
The petition is expected to be heard at 2:00 p.m., Monday, November 2, 2009,
along with the ACLU's motion for a temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction against the Parental Notice of Abortion Act.
"At some point, the ACLU will realize that Illinois law, just like the law
in 36 other states, provides parents the right to know before their underage
daughters are taken for abortions," said Peter Breen, Executive Director &
Legal Counsel for the Society. "Until that time, we will defend against the
ACLU's continued attempts to thwart the will of Illinois voters, the large
majority of whom support parental notice before an abortion."
The suit brought in Illinois court by the ACLU did not name Illinois state's
attorneys, as had been done in the earlier federal case.
The Thomas More Society's filing asserts that the ACLU's case is barred
because of the earlier loss in the federal courts. The Society also asserts
that the Illinois Constitution of 1970 did not include a right to abortion,
based on the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention. Also, abortion
remained illegal in Illinois, under almost all circumstances, after the 1970
Illinois Constitution went into effect and up until the U.S. Supreme Court's
decision in Roe v. Wade, which was based only on the U.S. Constitution.

Maybe the parents, but definitely not the young girls.
The ACLU is firmly on their side. |

Well, Junkie Young, since you're terminally addicted to Lie Site News, maybe
you should have had a legal guardian.

If all parents were sane then there would be no need for such a law.
How ever many parents would punish their children severly possibly
kill them, or throw them out of the family home. Most of the street
children you see in our cities come from such religious homes. No
child should be allowed to suffer from such abuse.
On one hand you say that you don't want children to suffer, and on the other
hand you say you favor a child making the decision to have intrusive surgery
to terminate the life of another child. Why can't we just take care of all
the children? Cut a huge chunk of the military aid we funnel to other
countries and use that money to pay for the needs of *all* the children,
both born and pre-born.
