If a girl wants an abortion she should be able to get one. By making it a requirement that parents give their consent will only fuck up the situation even more, because many parents will end up forcing their daughter to carry the baby to term, and that is wrong. Yes, it's a surgical procedure, but you can't tell me that getting an abortion is anything like having your appendix taken out. There is an obvious stigma surrounding abortion. The subject itself makes people act irrationally. Sure, it would be great if parents could be understanding and sign the consent form and then after that make sure that their daughters have access to contraception and even just information in general, but that's not the way things actually work in real life. And because of that, parental consent should not be required.
