In abortion, it is assumed that it *is* in the mother's right to determine whether she wants to carry a *baby* inside her or not because her choice, her autonomy, her own decision to carrying and nurturing the child (altogether) in her womb.<br><br>But what about minors who decide whether or not they want to carry the baby inside them? Is the *mother*, a minor, losing her autonomy by the laws that prevent her from getting an abortion? What if it is *her* body that's carrying the baby?<br><br>Does a minor not have autonomy? Does she? Can parents or society *force* a minor to carry the baby to term? What about her choice, her own body, her own decision?<br><br>How would *you* defend pro-life laws for minors? *Is Teens body autonomy the same as Teens body autonomy*?
