abortion again

This is nice. The Senate wants to make transporting a minor girl across state lines to do something LEGAL in the state they are traveling to (specifically, to get an abortion) illegal unless the parents of the girl are informed.

Should the House pass the bill (they passed something similar last year), I guess if you live in one of the states that require such notification, you'll be screwed if you're pregnant and 15 and have no parents. Or if your parents are violent types who might beat or kill or imprison you if you inform them. Wonder if this law would apply to Greyhound, should a knocked-up 15 year old take the bus?

The White House says this will "protect the health and safety of minors". Bullshit. It "protects the health and safety" of GOP Senate candidates' support among anti-choice voters. Red meat for the base.
