Connecticut Teens Can Get an Abortion But Can't Get a Tan?

Connecticut Teens Can Get an Abortion But Can't Get a Tan? - FoxNews.com

One seldom looks to government officials for logic. After all, a politician’s chief skill is generally the ability to look good while spouting the kind of nonsense that would make Kurt Vonnegut proud.
But a Connecticut legislator had a flash of insight recently about helping parents be involved in their children’s lives that is most rare.

A bill that would have required parental approval to allow teenagers to go to a tanning parlor died when it came into conflict with an amendment that would require parental notification for abortions. Apparently judging that to be a toxic combination, the Democratically controlled Senate refused to bring the measure forward.
