Seems to me 73 is a no brainer for all you nanny state haters. You want your daughter's rights taken away?
And the school can't arrange an abortion that is just nonsense. She would have to do it on her own.
Yeah great, they should have all the same rights.
Lets not force them to go to school, it should be their right to choose.
Lets not force them to stay with their parents, it should be their right to choose.
Booze? Hell we are opression kids by not letting them drink at 12, hell, they should have the same rights, right?
Maybe they should vote too?
Hell lets get rid of all age of consent laws because children should have a right to choose when and who they sleep with and if that means your 12 year chooses to shack up with you 40 year old neighbor, well as long as they made the choice on their own they should have that right!
Kid need braces? Well not if he doesnt want them, it should be his right to refuse.
Kid gets bad grades so you want to send them to their room, oh no, that would be unlawfull imprisonment! Hey they have the right to not be locked up without a trial like adults!
There is a reason why parents are supposed to make decisions about a their kids life when they are a minor, the reason being kids are not going to make the right decision in many cases.
But I guess abortion is such a minor thing they should have the only say.
Maybe we should just eliminate those evil opressive parents from the whole deal, the government could do so much better!
