If You're Old Enough to Get Pregnant, You're Old Enough to Make Decisions Regarding Your Reproductive Health

Sorry.

That's just the way it is.

The world in the palm of a 13-year-old girl.

Yes. It's her body. Her right. Too bad for you, Florida. Maybe you should have been educating girls and women like her, you know, protecting her life and making sure she lived well and had regular check-ups and knew the ins and outs of birth control. Now it's a little late.

Whose fault is that?

She'll almost certainly get it, even without the ACLU's help. As I learned in Family Law, if the court finds, after this psychological examination, that the girl is fit to make her own decisions, she'll get the abortion. If the court finds that she is not fit to make her own decisions, the court decides based on the best interests of the child standard. (That refers to the 13-year-old.) So far, I don't know of any court that has found that a girl who isn't psychologically fit to make decisions about reproduction is fit to give birth to a child.
