Planned Parenthood Challenges Abortion Law
So planned parenthood is challenging a South Dakota law requiring Doctors to ensure that women know all about the abortion they seek, and its potential and theoretic consequences. There in lies the "rub" Planned parenthood claims the required info is inaccurate at best, & completely false at worst. But while I favor a women's right to "choose" in SOME cases, I find it difficult to trust or believe an organization that also is fighting against telling parents of girls under14 or 15 that their daughter wants an abortion. This I favor. Its a parents RIGHT to know what their daughter of that age is doing or trying to do. After all it IS ILLEGAl in ALL case in this country to have sex with a child of that age. So what exactly is P.Parenthood doing? Who are they protecting? We must weigh a minors rights against those of a rapist, which is what all men are who have sex with a child that age. Protecting a childs rights in this case is actually protecting a rapists right too. And that is just wrong.
Bu it is important to determine the vaildity of the information given to the women. And for that I guess, we DO need the courts, because unfortunately both sides have their own agendas. Sad, sad world.

I agree. But is it still illegal for an underage boy to have sex with an underage girl? What is the age of consent in USA anyway?
Age of "consent" varies thruout the world. Here is a site that lists various ages, thruoutthe world, including the U.S.

I cant vouch for its accuracy though. As for it being illegal or not for two underage children, I'm not sure, but would "guess" that if she's too young to be "responsible" for her action, then, he also should be too young to be held accountable for his.
