TrophyHusband 0 #26 October 30, 2008 hopefully lawrocket will jump in here and clarify the laws in california, but generally parents have authority over their childrens' medical care. elective abortions are just that, elective. i wouldn't think a parent could force a minor to have an elective abortion any more than they could force a minor to have a boob job.

I see children with piercings which are under the age of even knowing what they are, much less the age of consent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 291 #29 October 30, 2008 My point is that parent force children to have elective procedures all the time (piercings, vaccinations). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHusband 0 #31 October 30, 2008 whether or not vaccinations are elective procedures is a debate unto itself. when you mentioned kids with piercings, teenagers came to mind, since we are talking about teenagers here. i envisioned a teenage boy being forced by his dad to get his eyebrow pierced. kind of a funny visual. you were obviously refering to babies getting there ears pierced before they are old enough to protest or even know that they are getting pierced. as with everything, there are exceptions so lets keep this in the realm of girls of childbearing age.

Hypothetically speaking... Assuming they are happy & healthy is a result of a good home life - these girls are probably not afraid to approach their respective parent, and probably will. The other half of sexually active girls will now be forced into potentially dangerous territory, face a parent/guardian who may cause bodily harm, or face a back ally abortion that may cause bodily harm. The greater good for all girls is to allow them the right - lesser of two evils I guess.

livendive 8 #39 October 30, 2008 QuoteCan a parent force a minor to have a medical procedure they do not want? According to this page, the proposal QuoteRequires minor’s consent to abortion, with exceptions. Permits judicial relief if minor’s consent is coerced.

Unfortunately this is a very grey area, although some may see it as black and white.... I have my opinion, but I'm going to keep it to myself - not looking for a pro-life debate. g I don't understand the grey area, you either think life starts at conception, or at some other "magical" time during a pregnancy. If you think that it does not start at conception, more power to you, as I am not 100% sure when life starts. However, what bothers me is people that are for this 10, 12, 14 year old ending her pregnancy, or some poor person who can't afford to have the kid, but will not stand behind "abortions for convienience", and would look down on someone who has had 4 or 5 abortions. There is either absolutley nothing wrong with the procedure, or it is the ending of a human life. If you are one of the people who thinks it is just a medical prcedure, stand up and delair that your are PRO ABORTION, because abortion is the name of the procedure, which you think is not the ending of a life, and pro means that you are for something. Why do people feel shame or distain for people who refer to them as Pro Abortion, or for the procedure you thing people should be able to have? Stand up for what you believe in proudly. I believe that abortion is the ending of an innocent life, and the only time it should EVER be considered is if the mother would die if she delivered the baby, then it is a choice between one of the two lives, and while it is a tough decision, it is still one that should be allowed to be made.

If you see it as that black or white I fear you will never have a grasp of how most people see abortion. So it is sometimes alright to end a life, if the situation is right? Or is it not alright to carry out a medical prcedure that does not end a human life in some situations? mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is not alright to carry out a procedure that does not end a human life in some situations. An example would be forcing an adult to have chemotherapy if they do not want it.

lawrocket 3 #50 October 30, 2008 Quotehopefully lawrocket will jump in here and clarify the laws in california, but generally parents have authority over their childrens' medical care. elective abortions are just that, elective. Yes. Parents have authority except two circumstances: 1) Emergency treatment; and 2) Abortion. Yep. Which is why I am against this. A kid cannot be trusted to exercise sound judgment in getting a dental cleaning, but has sound judgment in abortion (obviously shown by the sound judgment in getting pregnant.)
