To permit minors to get
abortions without parents being notified is not only legally flawed,
but bad public policy. The
question before the Supreme Court is whether Oregon doctors may "opt out" of
federal standards governing the safe use of controlled substances and
prescribe them with the intent to assist in suicides.
Since 1984, Congress has provided that federal licenses to prescribe these
drugs can be withheld from physicians who use them to endanger "public health
and safety," regardless of what a state's law may allow.
