AZ Governor vetos bill designed to strangle minors attempting Judical Bypass

I wonder: Where is Rep. Allen's test to prove a girl IS, in fact, mature enough to bear that child? All these tests designed to "prove maturity" are only utilized when a girl seeks an abortion. But doesn't anyone ever stop and think that if you are questioning her ability to decide this on her own, why are you blindly trusting her to be a mother? No one sits down and gives minor's the third degree when they CHOSE to bear a child. There is no standing before a judge to plead your case about why you think you are mature enough, you certainly don't need to prove that you are financially able, and you are never asked if you have obtained your parents permission to do so!
If she is so immature about deciding to have an abortion, why is she suddently so mature enough to care for a child?

Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano (D) on Tuesday vetoed a bill (HB 2776) that would have amended the state's existing parental consent law to more strictly define the circumstances under which minors can gain judicial bypass to obtain an abortion, the AP/Arizona Republic reports (Davenport, AP/Arizona Republic, 4/25).

The measure, sponsored by state Rep. John Allen (R), would have required minors to prove their maturity using certain qualifications. Some examples of evidence that judges would have been able to take into consideration included the minor's age, work experience, history of personal finances and reaction to learning about the pregnancy (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 3/9).

In her veto letter, Napolitano wrote that a 2003 decision by the Arizona Court of Appeals already had outlined the legal standard of proof needed to obtain judicial bypass (AP/Arizona Republic, 4/25). In addition, she wrote that lawmakers should pass bills that fund programs that care for children such as vaccination programs and health insurance programs instead of only abortion-related legislation.

"Unfortunately, to date, the Legislature has not seen fit to provide in its budget the funding I've sought for these programs," Napolitano wrote, adding, "I stand ready to work with the Legislature to develop these and other measures aimed at caring for the children of teenage pregnancies and discouraging such pregnancies from occurring at all" (Fischer, Arizona Daily Star, 4/25).
