In Washington state, parent’s permission is NOT required for a minor to obtain abortion, pregnancy tests, birth control methods, or tests for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. It is also not necessary to notify a parent before or after the [medical] procedure or test.
Parental consent laws are bad medicine and bad legislation. Responsible parents open the doors of communication themselves; they do not expect government to do it for them. Parental consent/notice laws are a form of parents abdicating responsibility to the government to curb the decisions teens may make. [Otherwise no parental consent is required by the government as the government will now take control over your child]
In Washington state, if you are pregnant and low income, you may qualify for "Medical Assistance" -- regardless of your age, and regardless of whether you want to give birth or get an abortion.

When you look at the facts about the Progressive Government system, Americans are being forced to be converted into something very un-American. Many people do not even realize the bigger picture of what they are supporting today.
The Constitution protects our right to find work. We do NOT need Federal laws to give us the freedom to do so?! If you are so supportive of freedom to work and make money, then support the elimination of business licenses, etc. We had the right to own a business before government came along. The Supreme Court ruled that government cannot convert a right to a privilege and require a license and fee. That means no business license. So does AFF really support FREEDOM or not???
