A New Hampshire law went into effect on January 1st that makes them the latest state to order any teenager who has become pregnant to have parental consent (or a court order) before having an abortion performed. Is this fair?

Yes it is. You think your responsible enough to open your legs be responsible enough with the results. Don't kill just because of your immaturity.

I agree with kessie. The teens parents are more mature, and they could come up with a better solution than abortion. And it's not just the mom's choice. I'm not for abortion at all, but they should at least tell the baby's father and anyone else in the baby's life what they're thinking of doing. There are other options than abortion.

I'm not going to comment on the whole abortion is good/bad thing because that's a whole 'nother issue, but I'm going to of with yes. They SHOULD, in theory, tell their parents, but it shouldn't be a law. That'll just open a whole new can of worms about family problems, and even though I think it's only right that the parents of the teen almost-mother should know, the government should not get involved.
