A parent would not be able to force an abortion on anybody - it is the other way around - if you want an abortion you must have a consent from a parent.And?
What is your point? This law does not allow a parent to force an abortion as far as I know. It requires the parent to sign off on the procedure but I think the girl still has to consent as well. Not sure though.
My point is that the law is AWESOME - it gives the parents the rights to decide in a situation where a teenager can not decide for herself and SHOULD NOT decide. As they do not decide for themselves in any other medical procedure ( or not even medical) - and getting an abortion is much more detrimental than getting a piercing ( which requires a consent from the parents)
So you think that a parent should be capable of forcing an abortion on a woman who is 17 and wants the child?
You can not force somebody to have a procedure, but you can forbid them to have one - if you are a parent.
