        Depends on the state and the age of the father. Lots of states have laws that give leeway if it’s two kids instead of a kid and adult.

        Regardless, she should have been able to get an abortion.

          This is not true, while in many states there are legal exceptions for relationships between minors and someone within a few years of age, minors are still unable to consent under the law

      Irrelevant, and there is a(t least one recent) case where a child rape victim was denied an abortion.

      Whatever, she can’t be a parent and has fewer chances to give birth safely at this age. She is a kid and don’t deserve such a trap that would cancel her future.

      And if you wonder, teens fuck, a lot. And teens are careless. Their lack of life experience and hormones make them do crazy things, no surprise. But at that age they can’t legally drink or wote for another 5+ years, can’t thoughtfully consent and participate in many things, do they deserve to be victims to some switch of a law done only to serve one group of adults?

      This girl could’ve just making out with her first love, and now she would has fever oportunities than anyone else because someone said she can’t put out some biomatter from her vagina in the first weeks. She’d be bullied, she’d desocialized, she’d fail her grades, she’d hardly find her place in life.

      And that’s where the child, the treasured gift of god, would happen to be born. In a house of misery, scarcity and anger. That’s how it should work?
