Good News: Legislation Would Protect Minors from Abortion

 

Sen John Ensign, R-Nev., is set to reintroduce the Child Custody Protection Act, which would prohibit taking minors across state lines to circumvent laws requiring the involvement of parents in abortions.

Then-Sen. Barack Obama voted against identical legislation in 2006.

In a recent poll commissioned by Americans United for Life, 69 percent of respondents said they do not want a Supreme Court justice who opposes “making it illegal for someone to take a girl younger than the age of 18 across state lines to obtain abortions without her parents’ knowledge.”
