You are overlooking the central issue.

Just as slavery was a “peculiar institution” (in the sense that any custom, law, rule, or belief had to be modified if necessary to protect slavery), so too are the “reproductive rights” of minor children.

A girl who cannot consent to receive a Tylenol for a headache because she is a minor can consent to general anesthesia and surgery if necessary to procure an abortion. And there are many other examples, of which mandatory “health” counseling is a minor one.
