Wesley Smith has a good post at NRO about how Washington, D.C. is considering a bylaw that would regulate tattoos more stringently than most states regulate abortion, including with a 24-hour waiting period after requesting a tattoo and prohibiting minors from getting them. Smith says, “it is considered by many pro choicers the height of tyranny to require an equivalent wait for an abortion. Which is the more serious procedure? Apparently, tattooing.” He also notes that the opposite policies are often in effect for abortion (no tattoos for a minor even with the approval of a parent, yet in many states minors can have an abortion without parental consent or notification).
