IL (LifeNews.com) — The city council in Aurora, Illinois, the site
of a national battle over the last few months regarding a massive new
Planned Parenthood abortion center, has approved a measure endorsing
parental notification for abortions. The council hopes state lawmakers
will do more to get the state’s notification law in place.
After the new abortion business opened, pro-life members of the city council
said they wanted to approve a city ordinance at least allowing parents
to know when their daughters are considering an abortion.The measure initially covered parental notice for all medical procedures
but now targets just abortion after the council’s Government Operations
Committee sent the full council an amended resolution.The council unanimously approved the parental notification measure Tuesday
night and the council wants the state to enforce the Parental Notification
Act of 1995.The law has been tied up in courts. Last year, the Illinois Supreme Court
issued rules for enforcement but it is now in front of a federal judge.Aldermen Chris Beykirch, Rick Lawrence and Richard Irvin, the three behind
the measure, say there is a problem in the state where too many teenagers
are getting abortions without telling their parents….
