I need your help.

Punk Kitten 2006-06-04 10:57:35 ET yes, i honestly do. See my cousin, well he's 16, and stupid. and his girlfriend is well, 15 and stupid. why are they stupid, well she wants a baby and he got her pregnant. My aunt is all hell bent on abortion...and i for some reason dont think to parents have say in that. so this is how i need your help, simply for the fact that i dont know how to word it to look it up... i need something on how old you are to have your own rights when you are pregnant... or you know.. how old you are to decide on your own with abortion or not, or whether if at any age your parents can make you get an abortion. my aunt and uncle are not clear minded enough to do this at the moment.

JamBandJunkie 2006-06-04 11:34:58 ET it's different depending on the state....you could probably google it though, just look up abortion rights as a teenager or something along those lines

Punk Kitten 2006-06-04 11:38:34 ET i tried.. and i cant get the wording right. cause basically this girl doesnt want one.. and my aunt and uncle think that her gaurdians can make her get one.

MattHolck 2006-06-04 11:38:56 ET It is the parent's responsibility to care for the child Power over their actions is reasonable to prevent children from hurting themselves or getting into trouble This is not one of those cases

Punk Kitten 2006-06-04 11:42:41 ET so no matter what her age, its her choice... correct?

MattHolck 2006-06-04 11:48:47 ET assuming she has matured through latency

Punk Kitten 2006-06-04 12:20:42 ET ?

MattHolck 2006-06-04 12:29:34 ET latency is the period after the child passes through after oral and anal and before puberty

Punk Kitten 2006-06-04 13:01:59 ET ok.. when i said i'm an idiot.. i meant it.. so you have to explain alittle more than that.

MattHolck 2006-06-04 14:15:25 ET figure it out youreslf there is no "formula" to make me dance except perhaps dancing yourself

Punk Kitten 2006-06-04 20:31:16 ET uh.. alright.

MattHolck 2006-06-04 21:35:24 ET sorry tough subject I had to go I answer tomorrow

Punk Kitten 2006-06-04 21:50:43 ET its alright.

snow 2006-06-05 12:44:44 ET Did you google "Planned Parenthood - ??State??"

Punk Kitten 2006-06-05 13:49:41 ET no, but its not really planned.. all i'm trying to figure out is if she is 15, if her parents can make her get an abortion.

snow 2006-06-05 14:51:42 ET They can give you all that information whether it is planned or not and they will be able to answer her questions about her rights as a teenager being pregnant. Planned Parenthood has privacy protection for minors to question these types of situations without contacting the parents/guardians. She has protection from that place so the parents/guardians cannot be involved unless she requests it. They are free and really really helpful for her situation.

Punk Kitten 2006-06-05 14:56:16 ET thank you soo much!

snow 2006-06-06 06:17:20 ET You're welcome!

Punk Kitten 2006-06-08 20:53:23 ET i dont know what they are going to do. they really arent talking to the rest of the family at the moment.

snow 2006-06-09 06:43:49 ET Oh, that clinic does offer pamplets to take home and they have other numbers on the back of them if they want more help elsewhere to suit their needs.

Punk Kitten 2006-06-09 11:38:47 ET awesome. thank you.

snow 2006-06-09 12:18:22 ET Anytime.
