But apparently she's mature enough to become a mother?
For women in more conservative states, getting abortion care immediately became a lot more difficult.
Instead, the state is now forcing the girl have a child. While deeming her not “mature” enough to make the decision to carry a child or not; she, the teen “is almost seventeen years-old and parentless,” lives with a relative, and “has an appointed guardian.” She had previously gone to court to seek an exemption from a Florida law that would require consent from a parent or guardian to obtain the procedure. Her exemption was not granted.
In the original trial, the judge observed that the teen “showed, at times, that she is stable and mature enough to make this decision [and] acknowledges she is not ready for the emotional, physical, or financial responsibility of raising a child.” The judge also noted that the girl’s concerns about raising a child are “valid.
“Reading between the lines, it appears that the trial court wanted to give the minor, who was under extra stress due to a friend’s death, additional time to express a keener understanding of the consequences of terminating a pregnancy,” Makar wrote. “This makes some sense given that the minor, at least at one point, says she was open to having a child, but later changed her view after considering her inability to care for a child in her current station in life.
