"However that is beside the point . I would normally agree with you on other medical procedures , because of these reasons . This is an exception , as I have stated above . This is the case where parents will act more immature by either forcing their daughter to have or to not have the abortion against her wishes ."
"Your assumption that the parents are less mature than the child is equally as ludicrous as your claim that a 14 year old is mature enough to make this decision before she is old enough to sign ANY LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT , and that includes 15 , 16 and 17 year olds . They are still below the age of consent so the issue should be moot . But unfortunately , in this day and age when parents are becoming more like caretakers rather than moral guides , it is only a matter of time before they lose all authority over their child 's decisions to the State ."
