NARAL Pro-Choice America Calls Passage of 'Child Custody Protection Act' A Threat to Teen Safety |

From U.S. Newswire Releases: Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, called the Senate's passage of the so-called "Child Custody Protection Act" an irresponsible action that will do nothing to protect young women's safety or improve family communication. "The passage of this bill will have a chilling and dangerous effect on our most vulnerable teens. The American public wants teen pregnancy prevented, not punished." Keenan also noted that anti-choice senators' votes against an amendment that would help prevent teen pregnancy exposes the true political motivations behind this bill, which, like the gay- marriage ban, has been on the right-wing's "to-do list" for some time now. Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg, both Democrats from New Jersey, that would have funded programs to prevent teen pregnancy and help parents talk to their kids about tough topics like sex.
