"Senate Bill 97 would require girls under the age of 16 to give 48 hours of notice to parents before receiving an abortion. Republican Sen. Jim Shockley of Victor told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday that the bill is about protecting children and involving mature decision makers in the abortion process."
He can't have it both ways… The age of consent is 16. If 16 year olds are legally considered "adult" enough to decide for themselves about sex, then they should have the same right in deciding what is best for them concerning the aftermath of having sex at 16? Subject: age of consent for Montana Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1998 21:04:38 EST In the 1997 edition of the Montana Codes Annotated and the 1997 Montana Law Enforcement Reference Guide section 45-5-501, Definitions part (b) (iii) states that the victim is incapable of consent because he is less than 16 years old.
