Post #6,814 by boxley 8/27/01 12:56:57 PM Reply	no peril having a child at 17 is not something I would care to contemplate but I do not make that decision, the bearer of the child does and should have all the facts pro and con then step back and let what happens happen. My kids have already been told, do whatever but grandkids dont live here cause we are going to move when you are 18 and we aint leaving a forwarding address :) thanx, bill Our bureaucracy and our laws have turned the world into a clean, safe work camp.

Post #6,850 by mmoffitt 8/27/01 4:20:35 PM Reply	But, should a 17 year-old be allowed to make that decision? Personally, I'm not thrilled that most 20-nothings I know are able to reproduce :-). But a 17 year-old kid? Too young to truly comprehend the consequences, imo. What should be the lower bound for allowing a young girl to decide whether or not to terminate? Its not uncommon for a child in the US to become sexually mature at age 11. Do we allow 11 and 12 year olds to make the choice about continuing a pregnancy? I'm just not that comfortable with allowing kids to shoot themselves in the foot that easily. Yeah, they shouldn't have had sex, okay, they screwed up (no pun intended). Their judgement was poor. So, do we then allow them to make a decision that could screw up the rest of their lives?
Post #6,855 by ChrisR 8/27/01 4:30:03 PM Reply	None... What should be the lower bound for allowing a young girl to decide whether or not to terminate? Why should there be a lower boundary at all? A girl that becomes pregnant is, almost by definition, a woman. A woman, no matter their age, should decide the matter.
