President Appreciates Senate Passage of the Child Custody Protection Act
Transporting minors across state lines to bypass parental consent laws
regarding abortion undermines state law and jeopardizes the lives of young
women. To combat this dangerous practice, the Senate today passed the
Child Custody Protection Act, which penalizes those who unlawfully attempt
to circumvent parental notification requirements.
I appreciate the Senate's efforts to preserve the integrity of state law
and protect our Nation's families. I look forward to the House and Senate
resolving their differences in Conference and sending this legislation for
my signature.
