While I appreciate the opinion...I read the article. While I appreciate the opinionated writing, I felt that it fell short in this respect. The author makes the move from what the state of things are to what "should be the case," but fails to properly address the question of minority delays in actionable claims after botched procedures.<br /><br />The author advances the idea that because it is the case that juveniles have secured the right to bypass parental consent in seeking abortions, then it should be the case that a remedy is made available which allows juveniles to seek legal recourse in cases of botched abortions without parental consent, and without waiting until the age of majority. <br /><br />This is not so. Allowing juveniles to seek legal representation without parental guidance is another step toward removing the parental stewardship of the child. It is both unjust and irresponsible to allow a child to seek a medical procedure without parental involvement to begin with, though legal. By further removing the need for parental involvement in litigation meant secure remedies for poor decisions made by a child without parental consent, the parental rights and abilities to nurture and protect their children is doubly removed.<br /><br />While it might be true that constitutional rights extend to all people regardless of age, it is also true that the parental responsibility for the welfare of a minor is the pinnacle of sacred rights. When the government intercedes to strip those rights away from parents, they have broken a trust that exceeds the privileges of the state.Glennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102565543549142384.post-29233773832609425302012-07-06T15:20:53.246-04:002012-07-06T15:20:53.246-04:00Unfortunately, the link to Ms. Jackson's artic...Unfortunately, the link to Ms. Jackson's article is not working.Ms. Powellnoreply@blogger.com
