i'm sorry if you have a problem with the state raising our children, but it's a little too 1984 for me. i think parents should be responsible for their children and teach them, ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN VALUES, as is their right. And if you don't like it being a parent's right, you're going to have to take that up with a court of law.
This isn't the state raising the child, there is no government control so the 1984 statement is out of place. This is simply Obama supporting patient doctor confidentiality.

And Fal is correct, the family unit is often wrong. Many of these young women have legitimate reasons to hide their abortion from their parents.
Hell, last month I bought weed off a chick whose parents had kicked her out of home at seventeen because she was pregnant. The point being that too often parents react with anger and not logic.
