On the recordJuly 15, 1998
This issue really is about children, though, and parental consent and the parents having some say. If a child is not going to tell his or her parent about a possible abortion that they want to seek, they are not going to seek the parents' help when it comes to medical problems they are experiencing from the complications of an abortion. So this bill is for parents and this bill is for children, and this bill, yes, this bill is for the unborn child as well. Parents should be involved. That is all we are saying. Pass this bill, H.R. 3682.
