ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri Shouldn't a parent, who is still the legal guardian of the minor, have some role in the decision for that minor to get an abortion? I think it depends on who would be legally responsible for the child. If the minor, upon giving birth, assumes the responsibilities of an adult, then that minor should be allowed to make the decision on their own. It's just consistent to say that if they're old enough (in the eyes of the law) to raise a child, the law ought to consider them old enough to decide whether to terminate a pregnancy. If, on the other hand, the parents or the state are legally responsible for the child instead then, yes, they should have a say.
