Pro-choice, pro-life conflict continues
Measures 8 and 10 attempt to legislate abortion
By June Russell
Emerald Reporter
With elections just around
the corner, activists on both
sides of abortion issues prepare
to use their arguments and in
formation to win votes on slate
ballot Measure 10. which
would require doctors to give
parental notification prior to a
minor’s abortion.
Measure 10. submitted by in
itiative petition, is one of two
abortion rights measures on the
liallot The other Measure H
— would prevent all abortions
except in the case of reported
rape or incest, or when birth
would endanger the mother's
life.
If passed. Measure 10 would
require doctors to notify one
parent of the minor's choice at
least two days before the abor
tion This notification can lie
waived if the minor is a victim
of reported abuse at home or if
the pregnancy was caused by a
reported rape.
Under current Oregon law.
the doctor in abuse or rape
cases is required to report the
situation to state authorities.
Failure to properly comply
with the notification qualifica
tions can result in the suspen
sion of the doctor's license or a
lawsuit from the minor's par
ents.
Although similar laws are on
the books in a number of states,
including West Virginia and
Utah, this measure does not in
clude the option of a judicial
bypass for the notification re
quirement In states with a ju
dicial bypass, the minor can
petition the court instead of no
tifying her parents.
Opponents of the measure
believe the judicial bypass is
important, particularly in cases
involving abusive homes. Pro
ponents of the measure feel the
notification waiver clause will
adequately protect minors from
further abuse without the judi
cial bypass
“If you have a situa
tion with a dysfunction
al family, this measure
doesn't give teens an al
ternative in judicial by
pass." said Kelli llar
bert. public affairs coor
dinator of Lane Coun
ty's Planned Parenthood
Association.
"In tin- practical ap
plication, there really
aren't any exceptions to
the notification. The
doctor has to tell the
Children's Services l)i
vision, and the CSI)
then contacts the par
ents." she said
"Many teens fear tee
ing thrown out of the
house, or even violence
rrom tnetr parents r.ven -
though notification seems like
a good idea, it can have devas
tating results on teenagers."
"We realize that not all
homes are ideal." said Gayle
