GUTTMACHER INSTITUTE

State Polices in Brief: Parental Involvement in Minors’ Abortions http://www.guttmacher.org/statecenter/spibs/spib_PIMA.pdf

2.This article was updated on February 1, 2013. That is only nine days from today's date, February 10, 2013. When i Googled the Guttmacher Institute, a web site came up and stated that the help "Advancing sexual and reproductive health worldwide through research, policy analysis and public education" (Guttmacher Institute). This site seems to be reliable, because they main work with all kinds of sexual and reproductive research. This article is relevant with my topic, because it it brakes down and talks about the views of the different states in America on parental consent abortions. This article also seems to have very good accuracy and maintenance the purpose of informing people of the different states views on parental consent abortions.

3. This article will be helpful with my paper because it brakes down each states view of parental consent for young girls to have an abortion preformed. The article also gives background information on what the general rule is for young girls having abortions and needing parental consent. The article is also presented to be neutral, neither pro-choice or pro-life, which helps me form my own argument.


4. The article shocked me when it said that 37 out of the 50 states agree that the girls can easily get a judicial bypass. I did not find anything confusing about the article  but why the states would allow an option for the girls to not involved their parents in their abortion. It is also surprising that only 15 states out of 50 allow for a medical abortion by abuse, assault, incest or neglect. For a lot of people being pro-choice that is not a great percentage to prove it.
   The information presented in this article raises the question where do the states without a majority vote stand? There could have been a close vote and the other side could have one. Another question is did everyone 18 years and older vote for the laws? Who came up with these agreements? These are good questions to farther look up.
