Anti-Parent Litigation Reveals End Goal of Abortion Ballot Measures

Jefferson City, Mo. – Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America issued the following statement in response to a new lawsuit to allow minor girls to obtain abortions without parental involvement. The litigation was filed by ‘Right By You,’ an entity that directs minors on how to obtain abortions, under the state’s newly passed abortion amendment.

“Before Election Day, the abortion lobby insisted Amendment 3 would not take away parents’ rights. Now they’re suing so girls who aren’t old enough to get their ears pierced on their own can have an abortion without their parents. It’s not enough for ‘Right By You’ to text your daughter about getting an abortion, they want to send her straight to an abortionist without mom or dad knowing,” said Kelsey Pritchard, political communications director for SBA Pro-Life America. “This lawsuit is especially alarming in a state where Planned Parenthood was recently caught on tape trying to transport a 13-year-old girl to a Kansas abortion facility without her parents’ knowledge or consent. Ending parental consent would enable abusers and traffickers to exploit minors in Missouri.

“The abortion lobby’s litigation reveals the end goal of pro-abortion ballot measures. Rather than protecting a ‘decision between a woman and her doctor,’ these amendments protect abortion business’ profits at the expense of girls and their parents.”

 

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
