I am curious as to how the abortions are paid for? Are they donated free of charge? I don't know myself but I wouldn't think that is the case.  So it's ok for the child to rely on the advice of the person or clinic that makes money from performing the procedure but not seek the advice of their parents?  How does the child know they are selecting a competent physician?  Simply rely on that physicians statement?  I know my daughters would have come to me but some immature children might not go to their parents even if they have loving parents.  It scares me to think that it is illegal for the clinic to inform the parents but the ones profiting from and making a living doing the abortion are the ones that get to give all the advice...  At the very minimum maybe require a visit to a independent individual that is not affiliated with the clinic and maybe that is the case now, I don't know.  I guess a lot to learn about the issue.  Glad my daughters are grown now and I don't have to worry.
