Reply #2: as Planned Parenthood says-as long as privacy is upheld.

[rodeodance]

The “Child Rape Protection Act of 2006” passed on a 29-0 vote. A companion bill has lingered in a House subcommittee for a month and is not scheduled for discussion until April 4.

Similar legislation was signed into law in Kansas last year.

Keri Adams, of Planned Parenthood of East and Middle Tennessee, said her organization supports any measure that helps protect children against rape and wants to be sure it follows privacy laws.

The bill would require records be kept of the names and residence of the victim and parent or guardian. A doctor who violates the proposed rules would face a $500 (Ð415) civil penalty for the first violation, a $1,000 (Ð830) civil penalty for the second, and a misdemeanor for the third.
