Even self-described liberal David Blankenhorn, who wrote in the LA Times on Friday, argues that we must preserve the traditional definition of marriage.  He maintains that traditional marriage is the best arrangement for children based on his extensive study.  Excerpt:

 

Because I also believe with all my heart in the right of the child to the mother and father who made her, I believe that we as a society should seek to maintain and to strengthen the only human institution -- marriage -- that is specifically intended to safeguard that right and make it real for our children.

Dr. Michael New explains at NRO his recent research indicating that state laws requiring parental consent or notice (with exceptions for abusive relationships) before a minor teen can obtain an abortion are effective in reducing abortion numbers.  He makes the case that more states should adopt such laws and he encourages the federal government to adopt laws such as the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA) which would strengthen the enforcement of these laws by forbidding taking underage girls across state lines to get around these effective laws.

Many times men who have sexually abused young girls will take them across state lines to avoid parental notifications laws and cover up their crimes through an abortion.  These laws would help combat this practice. 

Incidentally, many of these abuse cover-ups have occurred in the clinics of the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.

LifeNews and MarketWatch also report on Dr. New’s findings.  To read the full report visit frc.org.

FRC has a resource available which allows you to encourage the Department of Health and Human Services to adopt proposed guidelines which would protect the rights of doctors and other medical workers to refuse to participate in procedures or treatments which conflict with their religious or ethical beliefs.  These regulations would especially protect doctors from having to participate in abortions or abortion related practices.

As LifeNews reports, the many misconceptions in the general public about the conscience rights of doctors suggests that these protections are necessary.

Mona Charen uses facts to conclusively show that babies do indeed sometimes survive abortion attempts, thus showing the need for “Born Alive Infant Protection” legislation on the federal and state levels.
