That sounds like a Marco Rubio half-truth talking point and in this case her parents were involved: www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2015/aug/13/marco-rubio/marco-rubio-says-minor-can-get-abortion-not-tattoo/According to Guttmacher Institute, a group that tracks abortion policy and statistics, a majority of states require consent and/or notification. In 38 states, minors either have to get consent and/or notify their parents, while in 12 states they don’t need either.". And a parent withholding consent to a tattoo just means the kid gets it a year or two later. It doesn't work that way w/an abortion. See the diff? I had no idea anyone else had compared the two. Maybe it would make you feel better if I said that I am floored that a 16 year old can get an abortion but not a cartilage piercing? Does the "diff" between my two examples make you less dismissive? If "my body, my choice" is the mantra, then we should really feel the same way about any potentially dangerous procedure performed on our children. If not permission, then at least notification. Do you understand why some parents should not and cannot be notified about their daughter's potential abortion? Let alone why their permission should not be required? Parental consent for a cartilage piercing or tattoo is NOT the same as parental consent or notification for an abortion.

If "my body, my choice" is the mantra, then we should really feel the same way about any potentially dangerous procedure performed on our children. If not permission, then at least notification. No. A cartilage piercing delayed is not a cartilage piercing denied. It will be gotten later. An abortion delayed or denied cannot just be scheduled for "later". There is a critical time component that is fundamentally different between a tattoo consent and an abortion consent. The pregnant person should be able to choose to have an abortion w/o parental consent as long as they have guidance by the courts or other surrogate due to their minor age in signing contracts, consent, etc. Society recognizes they're not old enough to sign a contract and many, many of them are not old enough to well-parent a child.
