But there are no indications that THIS mother would have been like that.Also what's to stop someone with an agenda using undue pressure on another 14 year old by resorting to this get out clause.
Any responsible councillor,health worker,social worker,teacher would have INSISTED that some consultation took place with a parent because no doubt at some point this child will need some help.It may take years but abortion can have an adverse affect emotionally some time after the abortion.I think that someone DIDN'T think this through enough.
