If your underage daughter got pregnant, can you legally force her to either abort or adopt out?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:No, you cannot do either. That’s why parental consent laws regarding abortion are pernicious. The girl retains the control of her own body. Even if she is under the age of consent, she still has rights. A parent could not force a child into an invasive elective surgical procedure. And they cannot sign away her parental rights t the baby.
