Parental Consent in Pennsylvania

Except in the case of a medical emergency or except as provided in this section, if a pregnant woman is less than 18 years of age and not emancipated (supporting herself), a physician shall not perform an abortion upon her unless he first obtains the informed consent of both the pregnant woman and one of her parents.

If both of the parents or guardians of the pregnant woman refuse to consent ... or if she elects not to seek the consent ... the court of common pleas of the judicial district in which the applicant resides or in which the abortion is sought shall ... authorize ... the abortion if the court determines that the pregnant woman is mature and capable of giving informed consent.

EMILY's List--Don't Be Fooled

EMILY's List. Sounds kind of nice, like, let's have a cup of tea. Don't be fooled.

EMILY's List is a political action committee which raises massive amounts of money for female Democratic candidates who support abortion on demand, including partial-birth abortion, and who want abortion subsidized with your tax dollars.

EMILY's List is currently the best-funded PAC in the country. It has already raised nearly $20 million and spent $17.5 million, as of May 2006. Its candidates can also expect to receive upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars from other groups as a result of an endorsement by EMILY's List.

On May 11, 2006, EMILY's List hosted a luncheon featuring its endorsed candidates for the United States House and Senate. This year, EMILY's List boasts more candidates than it has had in decades. At least a dozen will likely be involved in head-to-head races with our pro-life candidates in the November 7 general elections.
