Is Murder A Crime ?

Your probably wondering what is she talking about of course murder is a crime... Well for my government class for homework over this weekend I had to write a one page summary of a bill I would like to propose to congress and it had to be a law we DO NOT already have in place so here it is... Tell me what you think?!?!

Is Murder A Crime?
Dear Congress:
As of the 2008 election which took place on November 04, proposition 4 amending the state constitution to require a physician to notify the parent or legal guardian of a pregnant, unemancipated minor in writing at least 48 hours before performing an abortion was not passed. For me I feel that proposition 4 should have been passed, because as a teenage girl myself, I feel it is a minors responsibility to protect themselves from getting pregnant. As a minor, teenage girls’ should reap the consequences of their actions by having parental notice. Although opponents say the exceptions offered are daunting and difficult and it’s too much to expect a teenager to report parental abuse or seek a judicial waiver. This point of view really stood out to me because for example a minor under 18 years old can not go tanning in a tanning salon, unless a parent or guardian signs a waiver. Tanning salons say minors must get a parental or guardian signature because the ultraviolet rays the beds release are extremely dangerous and can be harmful. This seems extremely strange to me that a minor can have her own baby killed without getting a signed parental or guardian waiver or even a notification, but a minor can not go tanning unless provided with a parental or guardian signature. The irony of these two situations boggles my mind, it is such a twisted mind set. What is our society becoming today? Will murder no longer be recognized as a crime? Please take this all into effect and make the right choice for California. Help keep teenagers safe by ensuring that a family member would know about the teen’s medical situation and be informed of risks to her health and safety.
