Florida Abortion Laws: Parental Consent and a Woman's Right to Choose

Question
Can an underage girl's parents legally force her into an abortion in the state of Florida?

Answer
Hi Devon,
Thanks for your question to me. I don't think a woman or girl can be forced into abortion. It is all about a "woman's right to choose" what she wants to do with her body. If she does or doesn't want an abortion, it is up to her. I would recommend checking out a pregnancy resource center in the area for advice and support. Go to http://www.optionline.org and see if there is a one close.
Also, she can join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pregnant_teen_support/
Finally, I would ask you or her to email me privately at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com for more information. Would love to hear from you! Oh, check this one out too. http://www.lifecall.org
They have information about places to get help or to live during the pregnancy.
