No they shouldn't require parental consent, they should be flat out illegal! Abortion is murder.

As Ian said……."Make Abortion illegal and we won't have to talk about this! Problem solved."

How is having pre-marital sex "adultery"?! The term normally implies "extra-marital" sex…which is a whole other topic.

Right, but why is the father not consulted at all. Maybe you just overlooked this quickly, which is what I hope happened. But if equality is truly imminent, why does not the man get a say, in whether to abort or not. Speaking of equality 95% of men lose custody of their children in divorce settlements, equality, or guilt? You be the judge.

this is a touchy one. While I agree that the mental capacity of a teenager between 16-18 is minimally different, I also think the changes b/w 18 and 20 aren't that great. I don't think most people get their heads out of their asses before 23 or 24. I mean really out, like responsible job/home/ paying their own bills and whatnot. Especially here on Long Island where most children live in their parents house without much responsibility mostly until they're about 25ish. I'm not going to assign what I feel should be an arbitrary age to this, but I do think that there should be an age, and girls below that age should have to get parental consent yes. If that age is 18 then so be it. I don't think we could legally make that age 21, though I'd probably feel better about it I guess. But at 21 some people are out of the home and living their lives.

I definitely think 16 year old girls shouldn't really be having much sex, nor should they be requiring abortions. But hey… maybe I'm just old fashioned.

But Sal, what about the father, it’s his kid too, just as much as it’s the mother’s. If the father doesn’t want to the guilt of being an outright heartless killer why should you make him?

Abortions should be completely outlawed. There is no excuse for killing a baby. I don't care if you are raped. They have centers where women go to that help them deal with depression and stress and many rape victims have had their babies. Plus, if you don't want the baby just give it up for adoption. Why kill it?

I think 21 should be the cutoff.
