Fair enough. Though I have trouble with the concept that a 16 year old's body is more capable to carry a baby than a 15 years and 11 month old (age of consent is 16 here). Some places, though, the age of consent is 18. Would you consider it okay for a 17 year old to have an abortion in those states/countries?
