I have co-sponsored SB 5156, (Requiring notification to parents or guardians in cases of abortion.) Senator Don Benton is the maker of the bill and the hearing room is packed. It is an an issue that can only be heard when Republicans are in the majority. Democrats have no interest or support of this bill is about notification....the bill does not require consent but only that parents be notified about this invasive medical procedure.
I was the prime sponsor of legislation that prohibits those under 16 from getting a tattoo even if they have a parent that will give consent. In WA you can have an abortion at any age...without consent or notification.
