I told them "Good Question", but then reminded them of a checklist created in 1969>>> http://nfpcar.org/Eugenics/checklist.html << Many may want to check this out??
Anyways, those supporting the Parental Rights Amendment aren't giving up.
Below is the latest efforts>>>

Gearing Up for Another Round
-- September 29, 2015
The next legislative
session in most states will get started in January, 2016, and we are
already working in many of them to introduce bills preserving parental
rights.
A few states with
year-round legislatures are still (and pretty much always) in session,
but in most instances the business of 2015 is finished and the capitol
halls are now quiet. But that doesn’t mean we’re not busy working on
parental rights statutes right now.
In Colorado and
Pennsylvania, our state leaders have already submitted model language to
lawmakers who will introduce the legislation for next year. Efforts in
other states are in various preparatory stages of the process as well.
Many states require the language to be pre-filed in November or December, making these next few weeks the crucial time to get lead sponsors identified and language finalized.
So although 2016 may seem a long way off, it is in fact already time to get those efforts off the ground.
A year ago parental rights
were protected by state statute in 7 states: Michigan, Texas, Nevada,
Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Virginia. During the 2015 session, Idaho
was added to that list. Eight additional states saw legislation proposed
that was not yet passed; in a majority of these states work is already
under way to try again in 2016.
Currently, efforts
have been planned (and may be under way) in the following states:
Colorado, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, New Jersey, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Florida, Alabama, and Missouri. Securing a win in every one of these would more than double the number of states with clear parental rights statutes in the nation.
But we are anticipating even more.
If you would be interested in spearheading an effort in your state,
or in getting plugged in to an effort already underway, please let us
know! We can provide language and resources you need for getting a bill
introduced where you live.
Just email info@parentalrights.org for model language or additional information. Or use our online Volunteer Form to let us know of your interest, and our grassroots director will get in touch with you.
Together we are securing
parental rights state by state while pressing toward the day when
parental rights are secured in the text of the U.S. Constitution. Thank
you for your perseverance – we could not do it without you!
Sincerely,
Michael Ramey
Director of Communications & Research
