    It would allow children to have abortions against their parents will. No seriously that’s it. Like I for one think that you don’t get a say in if your kid has an abortion if they don’t want you to because they’re old enough to have gotten into this mess

      So it’s more like “grandparents’ rights” without having to admit that they screwed up somewhere along the way that lead to them being grandparents in the first place.

      It’s always about the edge cases, rather than the common ones.

      I certainly expect a say over my 12 year old’s healthcare: they didn’t have a clue at that age. If I had a 12 year old girl and a Republican got her pregnant, damn right I’d do what I could to save her future (assuming I was not in jail).

      However, a more typical case is those 16-18 year olds growing up too fast, and yes, being in that situation is a fast track to adulthood and difficult questions that are entirely that person’s business
