Planned Parenthood "disappointed" - Parental notification rights upheld

Love being on Planned Parenthood's email list. When they're "disappointed" it's always a happier day for me!

Take Action for Reproductive Rights

Dear Barbara,

We are disappointed to inform you that yesterday, Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office took action (again!) to lift the injunction on Illinois' 1995 Parental Notification law.

Earlier this month, we reported on U.S. District Court Judge David Coar's ruling that the 1995 Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act is unconstitutional and therefore cannot be enforced.

We celebrated this ruling as a victory for the most vulnerable young women in our state. While most young women do involve their parents in the decision of whether to terminate a pregnancy, some - those in abusive or neglectful situations - face dangerous repercussions or could be denied critical health care if the 1995 Parental Notification Law goes into effect.

We've included a timeline on this issue's journey through the courts below. Please stay tuned. We'll send further updates as we get them.

Thank you.

In a day and age where schools cannot dispense a Tylenol to a kid with a headache - and where a girl under 18 needs parental consent to get her ears pierced - doesn't it seem just a little weird that we are supposed to support a teen girl's "privacy" when it comes to a non-regulated provider actually invading her body with a procedure which can end up causing hemorrhage and death?

When it comes to Planned Parenthood, you have to remember that they are not in this for the love of women, but for the gigantic profits - including, inexplicably, government funds - from their abortion centers. Planned Parenthood or Planned Barenhood? Just follow the money.
