II, sec. 15, of the Alaska Constitution, I have vetoed the following bill: HCS CSSB 24(FIN) am H An Act relating to a requirement that a parent, guardian, or custodian consent before certain minors receive an abortion. This bill imposes a new restriction on minors who may need an abortion - the consent of a parent, guardian or court. This is a new restriction on the constitutional protections afforded all Alaskans, regardless of their age. This bill is arbitrary, constitutionally vague and unnecessary. For those reasons alone, it should be vetoed. Right now in Alaska, Im advised that 80 percent of the teens who find themselves in this predicament already consult with their parents and families. The remaining 20 percent seek and receive the counsel of health care professionals - counselors, public health nurses, doctors. Instead of focusing on a parental consent process that already takes place, Alaskan parents, health care providers and our communities need to do a better job of preventing teen pregnancy and reaching out to troubled teens. In addition to the constitutional problems with this bill, there are more personal reasons why I am vetoing it. Theres little disagreement among Alaskans we should encourage our teenagers to look to their parents when confronted with difficult circumstances. I certainly try to do that with my own children. And it would break my heart if my teenage daughter found herself in similar circumstances and felt she could not come to me or her mother for our counsel. But I would far rather she go to a family friend or relation than be forced to go to a court and deal with strangers. This bill does not allow that to happen. 1997-05-01 Senate Journal Page 1597 SB 24 We must also recognize not all teenagers in Alaska have that option. Some teens who may be affected by this bill will be incest or rape victims. Its a sad fact that a 1990 state Department of Education survey found one in four young women reported being sexually abused or sexually assaulted by the time she turns 18 years old. Furthermore, the bill does not achieve other things its advocates hope to accomplish. They argue the bill would foster better communication between teens and their parents. The legislature cannot accomplish this goal by forcing a family which has not been communicating to suddenly change. Advocates also say the bill will help protect the health of young women, but the potential delay the judicial bypass procedure would impose on a teen who may have postponed her decision to turn to the court in the first place could create an additional health hazard. In some cases, teens subject to this bills provisions live in remote communities where access to and understanding of the court system is meager at best. This bill imposes an unfair burden on these young women and could result in them choosing rash or life- threatening alternatives - running away, attempting a self-induced abortion, seeking back-alley abortions, or even worse - suicide. Government interference in this personal and troubling decision is unwarranted. For these reasons, I have vetoed HCS CSSB 24(FIN) am H. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor HB 65 Governors letter dated and received April 30: Dear President Miller: Under the authority of art. II, sec. 15, of the Alaska Constitution, I have vetoed the following bill: 1997-05-01 Senate Journal Page 1598 HB 65 HB 65 am An Act relating to partial-birth abortions. The effects of this bill have been profoundly misrepresented and therefore, are widely misunderstood. While HB 65 purports to restrict a single, late-term abortion procedure, it is so vague it will criminalize even some of the most common, early abortion procedures. Since the United States and Alaska constitutions protect a womans right to choose until the third trimester of pregnancy, clearly HB 65 is unconstitutional. This bill also makes felons out of physicians and, by refusing to consider a womans health, the Legislature has passed a bill which is neither consistent with the U.S. Constitution nor sound public policy. Clearly, this bill is an attack on the constitutional rights of Alaskan women. HB 65 is flawed in many ways. First, since it fails to define an identifiable medical procedure recognized by the medical community, the bill is subject to wide misinterpretation and could prohibit doctors from completing safe and effective medical procedures. Second, it is unconstitutional because it prohibits consideration of either the viability of a fetus or the health of a mother. Finally, the bill violates a basic right Alaskans cherish deeply - the right to privacy. The personal decision about whether to choose abortion should be left to a woman and her doctor. Few Alaskans want the state Legislature dictating medical operating room procedures. This legislation purports to ban a medical procedure referred to in the bill as a partial birth abortion. In fact, there is no such procedure, nor does the definition provided in this legislation define an actual medical procedure, according to the Alaska Medical Board. The Board opposes this bill because of the vagueness of the definition and because this vagueness would adversely affect a physicians ethical obligations to provide the safest procedure possible to a patient. Physicians may begin a surgical procedure expecting a certain outcome, only to discover during the procedure they may need to change course to protect the health or life of the patient. This bill restricts a physician from providing the safest and 1997-05-01 Senate Journal Page 1599 HB 65 most effective treatment. The bills vague terminology could make a felon of a physician trying to provide a patient the best possible care, subjecting that doctor to five years in jail, a $50,000 fine, and loss of a professional medical license. The bill also is unconstitutional because it fails to recognize a womans health as a reason to have an abortion. If a mother in late pregnancy discovers her fetus is not viable, because no specific medical procedure has been defined by this bill, she may not be allowed to choose an abortion even if other options present a grave risk to her own health. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states must allow for exceptions to protect the life and health of the mother. This bill fails to meet that constitutional test. The bill represents an unwarranted intrusion into the practice of medicine and into the constitutionally protected privacy rights of Alaskans. The State Medical Board, composed of doctors and public members, is the appropriate entity to establish reasonable, medically- based regulations on this and any other medical procedure. It is inappropriate, irresponsible and widely opposed by Alaskans to allow the Legislature or any other political entity to dictate medical procedures. Alaskans feel strongly about our personal privacy. In fact, we believe in our right to privacy so much that in 1972, we amended our state Constitution to provide Alaskans broader constitutional protections to individual privacy than are included in the U.S. Constitution. To me, this bill infringes on the constitutional right to privacy guaranteed every Alaskan by inserting the Legislature in a decision which appropriately belongs to a woman and her doctor. For these reasons, I have vetoed HB 65. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor The presence of Senator Donley was noted. 1997-05-01 Senate Journal Page 1600 MESSAGES FROM THE HOUSE Message dated April 30 was read stating: The House of Representatives respectfully invites the Senate to a Joint Session of the Twentieth Alaska Legislature at 11:15 a.m. on Friday, May 2 for the purpose of considering the Governors vetoes of Senate Bill No. 24 and House Bill No. 65.
