So what's your point?

Most girls who need to get an abortion -- and they are not lining up around the block -- will tell at least one parent: their mothers. It is, after all, a medical procedure, and liable to be scary for an adult, let alone a kid. Anyone who needs an abortion because a member of her own family impregnated her is less likely to be able to approach the family for help. Anyone who comes from a family that's likely to smack her around for sinning, likewise. That's the point of the law.

We forbid children from smoking until they reach adulthood. But a 12-year-old can get industrial-strength exposure to UV rays and possibly skin cancer for the sake of vanity? If they want a tan that badly, let them go out in the sun with a towel and a swim suit. I'm surprised you think that parents ought not to have a pass on that. Lunch money ought not to be saved up for a tan. It's expensive, and it's a health risk.

Ride without a helmet? Fine. Take their head injury treatments out of my insurance pool, please.

"Playing" with BB guns at all, ever, or playing with them in residential areas? Speaking as someone who lives in a heavily gun-owning community, I can tell you that responsible gun owners themselves oppose the use of BB guns in populated areas not zoned for their use. They aren't really toys, in spite of Jean Shepherd's fond remembrance of his in A Christmas Story.

And I myself have long been an opponent of soda in the schools. It's pure sugar, except when it's also got caffeine in it. It leads to weight problems and other health issues, and it's no good for kids who are already medicated for other things.

The thing about riding in the front seat -- is that for any kid, or only for those below a certain weight or height? We have airbags now. A small child in the front seat can be killed by one of those suckers. As can a very small adult. The small adult can take the risk him- or (usually) herself. Kids don't get that option. Some parents still don't use carseats.

I love it that a fetus without a forebrain is a human being that the state is expected to put its weight behind protecting, even at the expense of the actual, live human being in whose womb it is, but that any state regulation to protect the health of actual, live children is considered state interference with their God-given right to endanger themselves and others.

Maybe some of those laws need to be modified. (I don't know the details of their provisions.) You want to fight those laws? Run for office.
