Those circumstances are specific and should be taken into account when making the laws around this issue. Now the contextual considerations of abuse, abandonment, violence and victim realistically have to be addressed. I agree.Feisty Mouse said:Or the fear that some pretty awful repercussions would face them, like homelessness, or being beaten up by an angry parent.
And not all young women are selecting to have sex and get pregnant, either. Some are assaulted. It's not always a choice (or "accident") she decided to make.
Is a decision based in fear a good one? Perhaps not the best decision - and I wish no young woman would EVER find herself in that position. But, sadly, for some kids, fear is something that plays a big part in their lives.
All juveniles arleady do have "limited freedoms" they cant vote, drink, drive, get a credit card, get married etc etc.shesulsa said:If we're going to limit the fredoms of young girls with the physical ability to reproduce then why don't we do the same for males?

It takes two to tango, folks.
Aw, c'mon, Tom. You know my reference.

The only people that I am suggeesting have anything to do with the limiting of a young girls freedoms, are that young girls parents. It is a hard concept to grasp I know. Parents being responsible for there children, oh the humanity!!If we're going to limit the fredoms of young girls with the physical ability to reproduce then why don't we do the same for males?

If the individual choice being outlawed is the choice of a 13 year old girl to be able to get an abortion without telling her parents, then I am 100% for that law. I suppose if that makes me a right wing kook, then so be it.NONE of this has the slightest thing to do with passing a law that allows the government to step into individual choices
