I think you have to be 16, but I`d tell your mother at least. You need her right now! |

depends on which state you live in. Not smart to keep that from your parents though. |

If the girl wanting the abortion shows she can understand what is involved in the process, she may give her own consent. The doctor will encourage the girl to involve her parents because support will be needed emotionally and sometimes physically.
Some doctors are not prepared to do an abortion for a girl under the age of 16 without her parent's consent. If the girl is certain she will not tell her parents then the doctors will have to decide if the girl is mature enough to understand what she is doing. If the doctors do not believe the girl is mature enough, they will require a suitable guardian’s consent.
Anyone over the age of 16 has the right to consent their own medical treatment including abortion. |

Nope, it doesnt matter what state you live in, you have to be 18 to get an abortion without your parents consent. I agree with the first guy, something definetly went wrong here! Go talk to your parents! |

Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.
Want no age tagged to females having abortions.
Reason, its all about choice.
No age limit on choice.

This is why all three of them must be removed from office. |

Nobody is going to give a 12 year old an abortion. If even asked they have to legally report it. If a child is determined at even a later age to be pregnant they have to report it. The kid could be 15 or whatnot.
If a child gives birth they have to report it. Whatever child services are notified and then the police are. |

no. Just, think about that first hon, I don't want to get involved in your bussiness, because I know it'll hurt enough to get one with out a load of pro-life info on top of it, and I know I can't stop you. But, if you don't want to think about the baby, think about how this will effect you in life, think about if it's worse the pain. |
