Should parental consent....

be made mandatory for underage pregnancy abortion?

It depends. When is underage?

I'd say for anybody under 18.

Under the age of eighteen, the parents should take it to court if they honestly care enough.

Agreed

No, What about people in the UK age of consent is 16....

Its dumb its the child choice.

Excellant point. They are a child. However, I still think that it should be decided upon by the court.

Eric (Matthew?) makes a great point. In "most" cases the victim is just tht - a child. Why let a "child" choose something tht could change ther life for the worst?

Yeah, I think it should be.

I think I have read through this and I have decided that I have changed my mind. I believe that the woman herself needs to have the right to choose whether or not she wants to keep that baby or not.

Good question Sarah.

I have said it before on this forum, in the UK, teenage pregnancy is a big problem, and kids are using it as a form of contraception instead of using the usual protection.  MOST kids do it because their parents force them to.  So should it be left up to a child, to decide if they can bring a child into the world?  Well how can the afford to raise a child if they are still at school?  Is it right that the state should be forced to pay for a child of a child?  If the parent was raising the child properly in the first place, then the child would not get pregnant in the first place.
