Planned Parenthood sues over Alaska notification law

A few years ago, ds broke his ankle and had to have surgery on it--twice.  Parental consent was needed for anything and everything.  All the papers that we as adults normally sign when going to the doctor's office and being admitted to the hospital; we, as parents, had to sign and consent to.  None of the procedures would have been done without it.  Why is abortion any different?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest is trying to block a new state law requiring that parents of teenage girls seeking abortions be notified. Several doctors joined the organization in suing the state Tuesday. Voters approved the measure in August and the law goes into effect Dec. 14. It requires Alaska doctors notify a parent before performing an abortion on girls younger than 18.
