Parental Consent.


Abortion without parental consent is dangerous. Anything can go wrong after or during an abortion. So without a parent knowing, what would happen if their child was injured or at the maximum died? You need consent to do millions of things under the age of 18. Why make something that is a surgery anything different? If your under age you need permission to get tattoo's, piercing, and school field trips. But you don't need one to have a medical procedure done. That makes no sense. I don't really think it involves that the parents know what their child is doing. It's that they know that their child is safe. That if something does go wrong, you at least know why. I also think that it's important for the parent's to be involved so that the young girl can have someone to talk to. Someone to help her through the emotional side of things. Having an abortion isn't what people make it out to be. You may be taking away from the hurt of raising a child so young, but what about the emotions that run with that? The percentage of teenage sex might go down, the chance of finding out about sexual abuse such as rape might go up. I think that parental consent should most defiantly be a law.
