She had to wait until the bleeding got much worse to get him to decide she really was in need of help.

Did I say you would have to get a doctor's permission? No. I said a judge would rule on it with appellate de novo review.

Your mother should sue that doctor. Give AG a call and see if he can help her out.
I don't think very many of the 1.2M (or however many it is) abortions performed every year are from rapes. And I think that appellate courts would require a judge to state the reasons the sworn testimony was in doubt and if they didn't agree with the judge, they would overrule him.

I don't think that the right to life should be entirely dependent on whether your parents want you or not.
