The antichoicers of Florida really shouldn't be able to tell this girl that she can't have an abortion, just because she's 13.
Here's the news: 13 year olds have sex. Not even just the ones that were raised "wrong" but lots of them. There's a thousand people and things we could place blame on, but it won't stop the fact.
And though they may not be the brightest people in the world, thirteen year old kids do understand some basic things. She may not understand all of the ramifications of having an abortion, but she seems to understand why she doesn't want to give birth.
Hell, having a kid at thirteen could mess up her poor little sexually active pelvis forever.
I think North America needs to start better defining our laws when it comes to children.
