New Hampshire Dad Attacks Boy for Having Sex With His Daughter, and the repeal of the Parental Notification Law

   This is a story that has the people of New Hampshire seemingly evenly split. This is a story about a boyfriend and girlfriend who skipped school to have sex. There was a little problem here though, besides skipping school, you see the boy is seventeen and the girl is fifteen. She is six months away from the age of consent. The boy is going to be charged with sexual assault and tried as an adult. These charges are a Class A misdemeanor offense and is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine. He may also have to file as a sex offender, all though that seems unlikely, however he will be required by law to report the arrest on college and job applications.

  That takes us to the second chapter of the story. When the girl didn’t show up for school a call was placed to her father. When her father found out why she skipped school he decided to take justice into his own hands. In other words, he beat the crap out of the boy after school on school property. He is also being charged with a crime, simple assault, a Class B felony.

   I can see both sides of the argument in both arrests. The boy was having sex with his girlfriend, it’s not like he was some older man who convinced a girl to have sex with him. But she was still a minor, and the law is the law. The father was trying to protect his daughter, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize you can’t go on school property and beat the hell out of a student. However, I am not going to use this post to discuss the merits of either side of this story, I am going to take this post in a different direction.

  The issue I want to discuss is not fully related to the story above, but it could be, and maybe we will find out that it is related some day. I am talking about the repeal of the parental notification law in New Hampshire, I have touched on this here, and here. 

  The parental notification law stated that a minor’s parents had to be notified 48 hours before their daughter received an abortion. But liberal John Lynch decided that the parents didn’t have the right to know their daughter was having an intrusive medical procedure, so he repealed it.

  This story above illustrates a kind of hypocrisy here, if that is the right word. The state has decided that a fifteen year old girl isn’t mature enough to consent to sex willingly. She doesn’t really understand what she is getting into, and the possible dangers or consequences of sex. One of those consequences is pregnancy, that goes without saying. But there are far worse diseases out there, yes I just called pregnancy a disease because in the eyes of the pro abortion crowd pregnancy is nothing more than a disease or an inconvenience that can easily be cured.

  So while a minor girl isn’t mature enough to have sex and understand what she is doing or the possible consequences, the liberal Governor John Lynch repeals the parental notification law and in effect the state now says a minor is mature enough to make a decision about abortion. If a minor cannot make a decision about having sex while she is a minor, how the hell can the state believe she can make the decision to kill her baby, how is she mature enough to make that decision?

  The simple fact here is that the repeal of the parental notification law in New Hampshire wasn’t about the child’s right to privacy, it is about stopping ANY restriction on abortion. The left is so afraid that a restriction on abortion will get the pro choice movement a head of steam and that the restrictions will keep on coming. That is totally unacceptable, and if it means that a minor girl engages in sex with an adult illegally, thus opening herself up to the risks of pregnancy, AIDS, herpies, and the like that is fine just as long as she can terminate her little inconvenience without fear that her parents might find out. What is wrong with having to tell your parents you are pregnant? I know it can’t be easy, and I know the girl fears the repercussions, but the parent has a right to know. Maybe, just maybe the parents will sit down with the girl and explain to her the other risks of unprotected sex, the risks that can kill her. And to me that is much more important than protecting the right to an abortion.
