May reduce the abortion rate
May reduce the abortion rate☜In Minnesota, the number of legal teenage abortions fell by 25% when parental consent was introduced. In Virginia it fell by 20%. These reductions are positive, not least because abortion is physically and pyschologically traumatic for mothers.☜98CE71
□
Parental consent required for many things
Parental consent required for many things☜There are plenty of things—including medical treament and surgery, school trips, tatooing, ear-piercing, and marriage—for which parental consent is requried. Abortion is at least as important as these.☜98CE71

□
Compelled to continue pregnancy against wishes
Compelled to continue pregnancy against wishes☜Parents with strongly held views against abortion may compel their daughter to continue with a pregnancy when she does not wish to do so, and when it may not be in her best interests to do so.☜EF597B
□
Obtaining parental consent introduces delay
Obtaining parental consent introduces delay☜Obtaining parental consent can delay the abortion process, and increase the risk to the mothers health—as, generally, the earlier an abortion occurs the safer it is. Judicial waivers can introduce further delays—at least 22 days in the US.☜EF597B
