If the 16-year-old wanted an Abortion she’d be considered competent to get one, without anybody asking if the father of the child, or her friends, or her family, were coercing her.

Actually, in Texas, you are flat wrong about whether a girl would be asked about coercion.

We have a very solid informed consent law, a waiting period, a parental consent requirement, and a requirement to actually inform any girl or woman that no one has the right to force her into an abortion. There is an affidavit to be signed by the patient or a legal parent or guardian, then notarized.

The abortionist has to offer a list of local resources for women and girls who want to keep their babies.

All strengthened by the consistent age of consent law and available for anyone free of charge, on line:

So are you suggesting she get an abortion as well as be raped by old codgers?
