TALKING POINTS:  (Florida Family Policy)- Support

• This bill would protect minors from being subject to an abortion procedure without parental advice and input. It also respects and protects the rights of parents to parent their children free from government interferences. It institutes criminal penalties for doctors who do not obtain prior consent, outside of a medical emergency exception.
• This bill presents an opportunity for the Florida Supreme Court to see if the high state court was wrong back in 1989 when it struck down the parental consent law based on a right to privacy.
• Twenty-one stated require parental consent for abortion. Florida currently only requires that a parent be notified of a minor's abortion.
• Opponents of this bill claim that it is unnecessary because a minor can consent to other medical procedures without parental consent and because the sate supreme court has interpreted the privacy clause to apply to a minor's right to an abortion.  The fact that the Legislature omitted abortion as one of the procedures to which a minor could consent to without parental involvement speaks to the fact that an abortion is vastly different that any other medical procedure because it necessarily involves another life- that of an unborn child. Additionally, a parent's right to raise their child is historically protected in caselaw and should not be subservient to a minor's supposed right to have an abortion.
• Under current law, a minor can't get her ears pierced, get an aspirin at school, or go on a field trip without a parent's consent. (yet she can get an abortion)
• Polling shows 73% of Floridians's favor parent consent laws for abortion.
