N.H. Repeals Parental Notification Law

This says it all:

“You can’t get your daughter or son’s ears pierced under the age of 17 without parental consent; you can’t get a tattoo without parental consent,” said State Senator Robert J. Letourneau, a Republican, according to the Times. “To me it’s unconscionable that you can’t give an aspirin to a child in school without parental consent, but they can have major surgery without parental notification!”
