parental notification.....

ok, so i have mixed feelibgs about this subject.....both personally and professionally.......should the parents of a minor female (under 18 years of age) be notified 48 hours prior to the cessation of a pregnancy.......hmmmm.....were they required to be notified 48 hours prior to the conception?.....nope.......and shoud the under18 female carry the pregnancy to term, would her parents be notified that she delivered......nope.......not if she didn;'t live with them.......and so the answer.....according to the mm....is nope to parental notification.....it is up to the pregnant female to tell whomever she pleases./.....everybody or nobody.......and consider this sidebar...the law in question doesn't require paternal notification..............shouldn't the father have a bigger stake than the girl's parents.....if we are being picky..............because i believe in notification of nobody.......a woman's body is her own.....period...........when i returned from the 1st inservice, the nurse in the next office was in the process of telling a young firl that she is pregnant.....and there were loud wailings and moanings.....and i was close to tears...............this was not someone who needed the added pressure of parental notification.......
