This has nothing to do with parental notification and everything to do with chipping away at Roe V. Wade.
First, they require parental notification. Then, ooh, maybe they'll boost the age up to 21. Hm. Okay, that went through. Let's try getting the husband's consent in the case of a married woman needing an abortion. Good! Now, let's go for the consent of the boyfriend in the case of an unmarried woman needing an abortion. Yippee! Break out the beers for "men's rights". Now, let's see if we can force the woman to get three doctor's notes and pass it through a committee to get permission to get an abortion. Hee hee. Pulled a fast one on them. Let's require them to do a blood screening, get a permit, pass the committee, count backwards from 1,000, get the sperm provider's permission, get their parents' permission, have the Governor notarize it....
You see where this is going, right?
