GOP Senators (Re)Introduce Parental Involvement for Abortion Bill

The Hill - Healthwatch Blog:  GOP bill would tighten rules on parental consent for abortion, by Ramsey Cox:

A group of GOP senators introduced a bill Thursday that would prohibit minors from crossing state lines to avoid parental involvement in the decision to get an abortion. 

Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) are the lead sponsors of the legislation. Some states don’t require parental consent for minors to get an abortion, causing some to cross state lines in order to avoid telling their parents about the procedure. . . .
