I didn't see this on the nightly news. I wonder why not. Finally, some common sense.

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas, March 7, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee signed a new law into effect Thursday that requires parental consent for girls under 18 years of age before having an abortion.Huckabee told legislators at a signing conference Thursday that the measure is another step in the protection of life. The Senate approved the bill, sponsored by Little Rock Republican Jeremy Hutchinson, last month by a 27-3 vote.“I just can’t comprehend a society where a child can get an abortion without a parent's permission, yet can’t get an aspirin at the school office without that permission,” said Republican Sen. David Bisbee in Senate debate of the bill last month, as reported by arkansasnews.com.Bisbee argued that, as a serious medical procedure, abortion occasionally ends in tragedy. “What do we say to those parents if that child dies? That we're sorry, we thought you might get upset? Here's her body?”
