    A girl of 16 years old cannot abort because she is too unmature in Nebraska

    A girl of 16 years old cannot abort because the supreme court of Nebraska considered that she was too unmature to abort, however she is taking care of her smaller siblings. Even the girl decided to finish high school before aborting and also she showed many proofs in the court to prove that she was enough mature.

    However, the court considered that proofs were unsufficient to prove her maturity. And there is a problem, because Nebraska is one of thos states that require the consentiment of the parents, but she didn't notify to them because she alleged that adoptive parents would be against it because their religious believes.

    Source:

    It is a clear example of the consequences of mixing religion and law and as it says the conclusion of the news, it shoud end.

    Full moral maturity doesn't arrive till around 25.


    Reading your source I see religion may have influence her foster parents, not the law.

    Again with the nonsense of the full moral maturity.

    It is very relative. A person that has to take care of other people, I assure you that this person is already enough mature to take decissions, and more rellevant to her body.

    I don't need to have studied psichology to know this.

    And the religion influenced also the court.

    Reason I said around 25 is because it is not exact. But if choices are not moral then they're not worth much.

    How? Your source says her foster parents are religious, that's all.

    It's called rape in most states because of her age if she consented or not. It's called state laws and don't live in a state that you don't approve of their laws. Just like you can't demand in SC to buy beer on Sunday. Are you saying we should abolish all state laws so everyone can have their way? Can I go to NY and walk around with a gun? Is it because of religious folks up their or is it state law. So the parents should just give consent regardless of laws and how they feel.

    How? Your source says her foster parents are religious, that's all.
    Read the arguments of the court, they are inherently based under religious views.

    And if you read the arguments of the girl are showing big maturity, and if someone reasoning like her cannot abort, then no one cannot practice abortion.
