Parental Notification Rules and Bush Wiretaps
I am a bit confused by the thought processes of some of those to the right side of the political spectrum:
How come is it that a teen, impregnated by her father -- alone and scared -- would not be unduly burdened by having to go in front of a judge in lieu of parental notification in order to obtain an abortion/morning after pill or what have you ... whereas GW Bush's executive branch, filled presumably with prosecutors who could indict a ham sandwich and other sorts of crack legal experts, is so horribly burdened by a requirement for search warrants that to have them go in front of a judge to justify their work would undermine the whole global war on terror?
I just don't get it ...
