And those who don't believe abortion should be legal for anyone, obviously will disagree with allowing a minor to have one, with or without parental consent. They wouldn't want to allow one if the parents totally agreed with the minor's decision to terminate. What do you say of that then? Parents know best for their children, except for when they disagree with your positions that abortion shouldn't be legal.
No waiting, a 15 year old is a child, not a women.

If she's pregnant, and about to become a mother, she is a woman.

Nope, not true. Puberty and adulthood are two different concepts.

She is legally a minor, in the care of her parents, who have a legal responsibility to take care of her, and she has no rights to enter into legal contracts.

Exactly.

Parents should never be forced into a situation where they know less about their child than a doctor, teacher or anyone else.

I disagree. Forced motherhood isn't okay no matter the pregnant person's age.

No one is talking about forced mother hood. AGAIN, we are talking about the parents right to know, and talk with the child before she makes a decision.

I think that it is the young woman's decision to inform her parents, if she feels that they are loving and supportive, she probably will. I don't think it should be a requirement.

Puberty and pregnancy are two very different concepts. And in nature, pregnancy and motherhood, represent adulthood.

There are pleanty of loving and supportive parents whos child wont tell them, simply for the sake of not having to deal with what ever the parents may say. To say the Schools or PP have more of a right to know your childs medical situation than you do, is completly insane. To have the school, or PP being the only influance in there decision is insane. Do you even hear yourself?
