| HEADLINES | | | | When is parental consent important? One News Now
On May 3, Planned Parenthood gathered high school students in Sacramento for Teen Capital Day, where students met to lobby state legislators. The abortion provider took teens from ages 13 to 19 to the state's capital to engage lawmakers, and the students were required to get their parents' consent before they could attend the event. But Cecelia Cody, administrative director for California Right to Life [an American Life League Associate group], thinks "there should be parental consent any time a child is involved in any sort of activity." Moreover, she decides Planned Parenthood's requirement in this case shows hypocrisy on behalf of the abortion provider, as it does not require parental consent for an abortion procedure. | | Abortion pill 'less safe than surgery' The Australian Complications from the abortion pill are higher than for standard surgical terminations, according to the first big published study comparing the two methods in Australia. The "audit" of nearly 7000 abortions performed in South Australia in 2009 and last year found that 3.3 per cent of women who used mifepristone in the first trimester of pregnancy - when most elective terminations occur - later turned up at hospital emergency departments, against 2.2 per cent who had undergone surgery. And the rate of hospital admission jumped to 5.7 per cent for recipients of early "medical" abortions - using drugs - compared with 0.4 per cent for surgical patients re-admitted for post-operative treatment. | |
