Senate Votes on 2006-216

 


Vote number 2006-216 notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions
on Jul 25, 2006 regarding bill S.403 Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act
Results: Passed 65-34

This bill prohibits taking minors across State lines in circumvention of laws requiring the involvement of parents in abortion decisions. Makes an exception for an abortion necessary to save the life of the minor. Authorizes any parent to sue unless such parent committed an act of incest with the minor. Imposes a fine and/or prison term of up to one year on a physician who performs an abortion on an out-of-state minor in violation of parental notification requirements in their home state.

Proponents recommend voting YES because:

This bill deals with how young girls are being secretly taken across State lines for the purpose of abortion, without the consent of their parents or even the knowledge of their parents, in violation of the laws of the State in which they live. 45 states have enacted some sort of parental consent laws or parental notification law. By simply secreting a child across State lines, one can frustrate the State legislature's rules.

Voting N counts for 1 points on VoteMatch question 1: Abortion is a woman's right.
