The future of the unborn baby is left for the mother of the unborn baby to decide, no matter her age. If a minor becomes a parent, should they have to check with their own parents before going in for a gynelogical exam, or signing up for WIC, or signing consent forms for a medical procedure that their child needs? This issue doesn't trickle into other areas. A minor still has the right to decide whether or not to be a parent, in the first trimester, just like any other woman does. |
