I've been on the opposite side YourNeverThere, at least with my sister. She had already had three children, and her boyfriend threw away her contraception then had his way with her. She had to get an abortion because she couldn't support her three children, and then ADD another one to mix.
In New Hampster, we just got a law that says that if a minor is going to get an abortion, then the parents must be informed. It doesn't say that they have a choice, but that are informed. I believe the reason for this bill is so that parents have a role in the lives of their children. To this, I also totally disagree. How is informing your parents, where in some circumstances might get them more harm then any good, going to get them involved with their children. Like was said above, if you keep on putting restrictions on it, you'll have more females finding other ways to abort the baby, or like another situation we had here a bit back, a girl had her baby, then threw it into a dumpster.
