Author Topic: How is it we let minors in some states have abortions without parental concent? (Read 527 times)

I just think it's kinda funny that a minor can get an abortion without parental consent...and yet that same minor cannot have minor (no pun intended) surgery without parental consent.

Oh yea, then there's Illinois, where they are trying to make it illegal to sell certain video games to minors (I remember that thread last week here).

It's kinda comical. I can't buy a video game in one state but I can have an abortion in the same state (or another state). It's comical because if I really tried to understand things these days, I would surely go insane.

Ok your 12 year old gets prego. You dont think you have the right to know?

I am not saying that they CANT have one. Just that the parent should be informed and be part of the decicison when it is their kid.

Can a kid sign a legal contract?

Sorry, I guess I missread that: "Still... I find it complete wrong to allow minors, children to have abortions or any other medical procedure done without parental concent. It is total BS. How the hell did these laws get passed?"

Now, if that happens, and my 12 yearold did get pregnant, the batle had been lost years ago.
Thank got she is only 5, lol
