[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering what all the pro-life folks think about his opinion in Doe v Tarlow. Government agency forcing abortions on intellectually disabled women? Kavanaugh said that was ok [/quote] You make it sound like performing an abortion was the issue - it wasn’t. At question was whether it was constitutional for DC to distinguish two categories of persons to determine competency in making medical decisions for themselves. The Court of Appeals held that the District of Columbia's 2003 statute was constitutional and the law may distinguish two categories of persons who lack competency. "For patients who once had mental capacity, the decision must be based on the 'known wishes of the patient' if those wishes can be 'ascertained' . . . For those who have never had the mental capacity, the decision must be based on 'a good faith belief as to the best interests of the patient.'"[/quote]
