37. Minors SHOULD be able to get an abortion
without parental consent!

Ever heard of a minor getting pregnant by incest? Such as a Dad or StepDad?
So do you think that he should have control over what that child decides to do about it??? :wtf:

No offense but it seriously doesn't sound like you have as much experience as you say.
Try getting a little more streetwise before you do any counseling on this subject.
