New government guidelines confirm that doctors will be able to arrange abortions for girls under the age of 16 without their parents' consent. Your views?

Tough question.

Prior to the pill and legal abortion, the rich could and did still have it done.

Poor girls and couples could not and would go to back alley blood and gutters.

Lots of young girls suffered at the hands of the butchers that did these deeds.

Right to life advocates have no plans beyond birth. In fact they will condem the very person they worked so hard to put into a birthing position.

I think women need the right to choose. Not a bunch of fat cats looking for cheap labor.

I am sorry about the harshness of my reply. But I have seen poverty and know of the descrimination that goes with being able to afford medical treatment.

The choice was made when the girl had unprotected sex, if a girl was raped yes,
but the choice should be hers and the parents,

I see that on this day in 1967, the first law legalizing abortion in the United States was signed into law by Colorado Gov. John Arthur Love.
