If your state requires parental notification before a minor can get an abortion, it seems logical to have a law preventing taking that minor across state lines to avoid the notification laws. Sen. Evan Bayh agrees, the only Democrat considering a presidential run who does:
"Bayh supports the right of parents to be involved in the major medical decisions regarding their children, absent a showing of abuse, incest or other compelling reasons," spokeswoman Meg Keck said.
Well, yeah. Those who argue otherwise -- that the "right to an abortion" trumps everything -- are letting their zealotry blind them to simple common sense.

Strange vote from a "solid liberal" huh?
Not such a strange vote as we near elections. He just remembered for a minute this was Indiana.
