First of all the law will look ridiculous.  Several weeks after the decision, a young woman boarded an airplane in Pittsburgh and flew to Youngstown, Ohio, a flight of thirty-two minutes.  During that time she delivered a baby and left it in the restroom of the airplane.  Now, if she had had an abortion in Pittsburgh, before she got on the plane, she would have been the darling of Planned Parenthood.  But thirty-two minutes later, with a natural birth of a premature baby in the state of Ohio, she was sought on two charges, child abandonment and attempted murder.  Since then it has been ruled that a minor female may have an abortion on demand without the consent of her parents, yet the law also demands that her parents are responsible for the bill.  And even more ridiculous from the point of view of the law is the fact that the unborn baby, being a nonperson, is nevertheless eligible at his mother’s request for welfare.  To further illustrate the schizophrenic state of the law, the Boston Globe, March 20, 1975, contained an advertisement for ear piercing for earrings with this statement, “All we ask is that you sign a special consent form.  If you are 18 or younger, you must have your parent’s written consent.”----The Right to Live; The Right to Die, C.
