Should we lower the age of consent to match the age a female can have an abortion without parental okay?

Why not lower the drinking age while we're at it?

Young girls are usually preyed upon by older boys/men. Not always, but usually. Sex is extremely emotional for a woman, especially a young woman. No, I don't think the age of consent should be lowered to 11 or 12.

I also don't think that a 12 or 13 year old girl is old enough to deal with the emotional ramifications of abortion on her own. Certainly, a system needs to be in place to protect abused kids, but no, I don't think a young girl should be allowed to have an abortion without her parents consent. If my niece gets hurt at my house, I can not legally take her in to get stitches - so why on earth should I be allowed to take her in for an abortion?

Should we lower the age of consent to the age when a girl is able to have a baby? Should we lower the age of consent to the age when a boy is able to get a girl pregnant? Should we lower the age of consent to the age when puberty occurs? Many countries do. If we lower the age to that...(11 or 12) we should also make it a rule that when a child reaches puberty they are legal to work a full time job and quit school if they want to.

Its something to think about. Just because a person if physically mature, doesn't necessarily mean they are mentally mature but then maybe they would become mentally mature if they were given heavy...very heavy responsibilities and duties as an adult.

If we did that, I bet we would cut down on teen age crime and boredom. I think maybe I agree with you but not on the condition of abortion but on the condition of puberty. Maybe the age of consent should be 12 years old...a lot to consider there.

These are two entirely separate issues. Consent is referring to a girl having sex with a man over the age of 18 - the man has a decided advantage of experience and access to things that can manipulate her ability to decide-alcohol, money, travel, etc. These are ploys to manipulate and a girl is not able to distinguish a ploy for sex from real love. Under the age of 18 a girl cannot understand the difference between sex and love.

Deciding to have an abortion requires self knowledge of limitations and capability. It has nothing to do with romantic imaging and illusions of love - it is about choosing to grow up fast and take on the responsibility of another human being and deciding to grow up first and have a early start on very adult concerns and knowledge.

actual, she likely were given pregnant without their permission, so she needs to seek a treatment that would not require their permission. in certain situations, even letting her dad and mom understand that she's pregnant is complicated. they could beat her and/or throw her out of the living house. Or the being pregnant might want to be through the incestual rape. Or the mummy's boyfriend might want to have raped the girl (would not TECHNICALLY qualify as incest). one among my husband's nieces had to bypass stay including her grandparents (his dad and mom) because his sister KNEW that her boyfriend change into molesting that child, yet she change into unwilling to kick the boyfriend out of the living house. If the new child had became up pregnant, she might want to no longer were able to bypass with the help of the criminal gadget in time to get an abortion without her dad and mom' understand-how and likely permission. you even ought to take under consideration that in some religions and cultures, a lady who even associates with unrelated men is seen a slut, and is in probability for "honor" killing, although i hit upon such recommendations to be quite dishonorable. it would want to be great if a lady's dad and mom might want to help her and handbook her if she famous herself pregnant. regrettably, this isn't the case. And abortion is an really time-tender challenge...waiting even a month or 2 might want to replace that first trimester being pregnant right into a second trimester being pregnant, the position the negative aspects and expenses of an abortion are larger. Many young ones do not have quite regularly occurring cycles, and with the aid of the time a youngster realizes that she's previous due, she might want to have below a month before she is going into the second one trimester. She might want to also be in denial for a month or 2 as well. A pregnant youngster (or a pregnant female, for that be counted) has an really small window of time to decide.

Personally I don't think it makes sense. Her parents are responsible for her in every other way. She is not old enough to vote or to enter into a legal contract. If she is not considered mature enough to be able to make those types of decisions, she certainly has no business having sex, making babies and then making the decision about whether or not the child lives or dies.

A girl can have an abortion as early as she can get pregnant, so I'm not sure what you're talking about........
