Well, on the upside Planned Parenthood in Iowa has been granted a temporary stay. I really don't see what making them turn over all those record would accomplish any way. Are investigators going to go to every single woman on the list, and if she doesn't have a baby, make her prove that she aborted it, miscarried, or gave it p for adoption?
On the downside, Florida continues to appall me by requiring that women who wish to put their babies up for adoption publicly reveal their sexual histories.
The law is a part of revised Florida adoption requirements enacted last year that require a birth mother to make an exhaustive effort to locate the birth father to notify him about adoption proceedings.When background searches don’t work, a birth mother must place legal notices about the adoption in a local newspaper where the baby was conceived.
In the newspaper notice, the mother must list her name, describe herself, name or describe the possible father(s) and list the date and the city or county of conception.
While your at it, here's this letter "A" we would like you to wear. Thanks.
Now, I understand that a father might want to have the option of raising his child, rather than having it adopted by someone else. However, this doesn't seem to be the proper way to go about that. In fact, it might push more women nto seeking abortions, as those don't require any sort of notification. Also, for minors, who are required by Florida law to obtain parental consent to get an abortion, it may prompt them to try aborting by themselves.
