Are they friggin' morons? You can't vote, you can't drink, you can't drive a car, but you can make life-determining medical decisions? I don't want to sound like an east-coast elitist, but do those hillbillies even know how to tie their shoes? |

It is hard to understand the reasoning of a legislative body along with a Governor coming to the conclusion that it is good policy to allow a 14 year old to make a decision of this nature.
