Why is a 17 year old a "child"...?

but an underage girl is adult enough to have an abortion without parental consent?

POINT here is this: Leftist media and politicians painted Trayvon as a "child", but when an underage girl wants an abortion to kill a baby, they don't want them to even have to consult with an actual adult, which means leftists believe that young under age girls are not painted as the children THEY ARE but defacto adults. NO CONSISTENCY IN THE POLICY. Trayvon (6ft tall, 180 pounds, walking alone at night-gasp-where were the parents!)when it fits their narrative even though he is on balance an adult, and young under age girls are adults when it fits their narrative even though they are on balance children. That's how leftists roll?

    hard to define "adult hood

    in ancient times you were a child or an adult

    now we know the human brain is not fully developed till the early 20s

    there is a valid argument about abortion without parental consent. but they did not get consent to have sex so "the horse is out of the barn" so to speak

    According to the usual race hustlers and their liberal minions, a 6 ft tall gangsta wannabe is a "chile," who was an A student and a future Young Republican.

    Also the dad called 911 about him at 8 the following morning as if being out all night was normal.

    Such a "child" is eligible to join the military.

    When you're older than sixteen, you're supposed to be acting like an adult - even if you don't yet have the rights and responsibilities.

    So because trayvon is tall and walking alone it gives zimmerman the right to kill him he was walking alone 7oclock at night that's pretty damn early if you ask me . So it's ok to kill people 6ft tall and 180 pounds .

    shows that cons aren't really prolife they are just pro birth they didn't give a damn that trayvon died and even danced on his grave . Shame on them they are only pro life when it comes to scoring political points

    guess that's how cons roll

    Because the media posted dated pictures of the boon and didn't reveal his thuglife photos.
