Or that the teen who gets preggers and wants to abort will have a pro-life Mom and Dad who will pressure her not to abort. Aborted fetuses don't care whether the aborter's parents have been told, unless the notification is going to change the outcome. It's a shameful restriction that preys on a teen's fears of her parents and reputation, and pits teens and parents against eachother. There is no legitimate reason to narc on a girl getting an abortion. It's not a "middle ground". Just a cheap way to infringe on the right to choose. You can choose, but we're totally going to tell your Dad and Mom. Some fucking limited restriction.

What Burger said, plus the following:
I'm not a parent, but I suspect if I was, and some stranger performed an abortion on my daughter without my knowledge, I'd have to break out the 12 gauge.
