New Jersey abortion opponents closely watched the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Monday to let stand Virginia's law requiring girls under 18 to notify a parent before they have an abortion. While a federal court has enjoined Colorado's parental notification law, other states are considering abortion restrictions.
"We must end government compulsion in education funding, attendance and content."
– Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) (The Denver Post, Feb. 23) .
