Some twelve year olds are having abortions. If the girl was pushed into this by others, I agree, it’s manipulation. But what if she came to her views all on her own?

If the 12 yr girl is intelligent, her thoughts could easily be hers.

Those of us who deal with the gifted get accustomed to insightful comments from the young.

The ability to make such observations at those early ages is why they are called “gifted”.

How would a child come to a decision to abort a baby on her own? She’s influenced by media, schools, advertisements, “famous” people, the baby’s father. She’s not living in a vacuum. And if she were, how can you say she would choose to abort?
