Yes, but many states where it's legal, still require parental conset
under a certaion age.

Yet the girl may have been over the age of consent, which means having
sex wasn't statutory rape with respect to her age. If the two yout's
expected to be grounded for life and have to raise their spawn
themselves, perhaps they'd have learned how to operate that condom correctly
before doing the deed.

But that's not a legal consequence, so don't you think we'd better let
her have that abortion as her own choice and not with parental consent?

Ian's wrong here.
