Abstract
Federal and state courts in the United States are in the process of making policy decisions about questions like the following: Should minors have the legal right to make their own family planning decisions? May states legislate parental consent requirements or some other form of parental involvement? Although some of Cruthfields passages are tortuous and although his argument is cloudy it is clear that he favors fewer rights for minors and more rights for parents than the courts have allotted. It is also clear that he objects to the decisions by the United States Supreme Court (henceforth the Court) in Danforth and Bellotti although he approves of some of the commentary in the decisions. Because the Court is likely to be the final arbiter of policy disputes about minors family planning rights I will confine my remarks to Crutchfields comments about the Court especially as they pertain to minors abortion rights.
