While our attention was on such scary things as HB 2 & 3 and trying to figure out how many ways Phil King could screw us on the telecommunications bill, we didn't pay close attention to HB 3305 by good ol' Carl Isett filed on the last possible day.
3305 also picks on abused, pregnant girls and in a very amaturish way. Who wrote this thing? Some hillbilly high school student from West Virginia? The Texas Alliance for Life claims they support it because it is NOT parental consent bill. Oh, sure.....While it does not require a parent to consent to an abortion, it might as well. And talk about abused girls, Rep. Isett completely removes the existing law that allows kids whose parents beat them up to go through the legal system and terminate their pregnancy without notification to a parent. That's it, we want the kids whose parents teach how to hit REAL hard, to become 16 year old moms.
And just for good measure it removes the necessity of informing pregnant women about contraception and family planning from that ever so complete and inaccurate pile 'o shit list they told us last session must be forced on pregnant women. (Remember HB 15, 78TH Leg. Session)
