(8) Those who believe that hypothesis believe that girls under the age of 18 should gather parental consent, or inform their parents before proceeding with an abortion. Of course, in some states that require parental consent, a pregnant girl can receive a ‘judicial bypass’ to avoid having to gather a parent or a guardian's consent first. (7) The consequences of a pregnancy on young girls can last a lifetime, literally. It decreases their chances of continuing their education and increases their chances of poverty and domestic abuse. Not to mention the physical effects of becoming pregnant before your body has finished developing, chances of pregnancy and childbirth complications, and the chances of death increase in underdeveloped people.

Teens should be able to get an abortion without parental consent because balancing school and taking care of a baby can be very challenging. According to the article”Tell parents of abortions”, the author states "Schools that support teenage girls through abortion only provide support during school hours. Who is supporting the girls after school?” (Hill). This evidence proves that not only can it be challenging to go to school and taking care of a child but the support systems for teen parents are

The ongoing dispute of abortion has condemned the idea of women aborting their unborn child. Whether it be lack of support, critical physical or mental health, rape, or not being ready for such responsibility - all women have a reason for having an abortion. Therefore, women should have the free will to do what proves necessary and beneficial to themselves and their pregnancy.

Through every choice in life, there is a decision that must follow. Abortion is a woman’s individual choice; therefore, must be a legal part in todays society. Individual rights have an outstanding role in the controversial topic, on whether abortion should become legal in the United States . The individual rights for abortion show rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. As well, women should be able to have the choice to choose to have an abortion for several important reasons. The right to make these decisions should lie in the hands of the “mother” to make decisions concerning their own to make decisions concerning their own bodies. In addition, women should be given the choice to have an abortion if they are too young

Most minors voluntarily involve their parents in abortion cases and if they don’t involve their parents, it's usually because they wouldn't be cooperative; “Since "privacy" rights have been found to be fundamental and protected by the due process clause, it is plausible that these rights are also fundamental for purposes of equal protection clause analysis” (Wand). The Court has stated that minors are protected by the right to privacy, so minors should have the right as to whether or not to terminate her own pregnancy. In addition, government intrusion does not make family relations stronger and could just sway a woman’s decision. The Court supported this in 1976 during the case Planned Parenthood v. Danforth. In this case, Missouri legislators passed a law requiring abortion doctors to obtain a written statement of the mother’s consent that stated that “the consent was freely given and not the result of coercion” (“Planned Parenthood v. Danforth”). The Court upheld the written consent of women, however, it concluded that spousal and parental consent requirements amounted to an unconstitutional "veto power" over a decision which should be left to the "medical judgment of the pregnant woman's attending physician" according to Roe (“Planned Parenthood v. Danforth”).

On the other hand, privacy and confidentiality are very important things that doctors and other health care workers take seriously. In many states you do not need parental consent for getting an abortion when you are under 18 (2009, Rutgers University). Where this is the case,

In fact, most teenagers do turn to their parents for guidance. But the government cannot mandate healthy family communication where it does not already exist. Laws that restrict minor’s access to abortion by mandating parental involvement actually harm teens and families they mean to protect, by increasing illegal and self-induced abortions, family violence, suicide, later abortions, and the teenage birthrate. The real agenda behind laws enabling parents to veto their daughter’s abortion decisions by requiring parental consent or notification is to deprive your women access to abortion. Opponents of choice are seeking to use the issue of parental consent to paint the pro-choice position as extremist and anti-family. The true pro-family position is the pro-choice position.

Abortion is a very emotional and debatable topic that the general public deals with. It is so debatable because there are so many unanswered questions that surround the subject. When is a baby actually considered to be “born”? Is abortion actually considered to be murder? Should the procedure be legal? At what stage during pregnancy is a fetus considered to be alive? One of the most important questions that relate to the subject is whether or not parents should have the right to consent to whether or not their daughter (who must be a minor) can have an abortion. The two articles, “Parental Consent Laws are Necessary” by Michael New and “Parental Consent Laws Are Unnecessary” by Diana Phillip are identical in topic but also have many distinct differences pertaining to whether or not a parent should consent to the abortion of a minor.

Underage people are prohibiting smoking, drinking, or going in field trips without their parents’ permission. Therefore, how can a teenage girl have an abortion without the approval of her parents? Abortion itself is a controversial subject, and underage abortion is even more controversial. Minors should not have an abortion without the consent of their parents or their legal guardians for a variety of reasons.

24 percent of women having abortions are unmarried teenagers. Pregnancy can be a scary and extremely stressful time in a women?s life. To force a woman who is not ready for a child to go through with the birth is not the answer. Stress is not good for the fetus at all, and could lead to complications in the pregnancy, or even a miscarriage. People also seem to forget about a women?s mental health in these situations. A woman could be haunted for her lifetime of giving birth to an unborn child.
