Because although she's only 15 she is her own person and it's her baby? If she is one of those people that believe abortion is like murder maybe she wants to keep it if she has the support and resources? Why can't she decide? I'm a stranger on the internet that she's never gonna meet, whatever I say isn't going to impact her anyway?
Sadly NY no longer requires parental consent for a minor to have an abortion. Potential side effects include death or permanent infertility, but NY decided that minors can make this decision. It sounds like some of you want to make the decision for the child in this anecdote. Maybe she she weighed the options doesn’t want to risk her own life. Minors cannot purchase or consume tobacco, seek medical treatment, consent to a tattoo, purchase or consume alcohol, enlist in the armed services, have a full time job, drive after 9pm under normal circumstances, purchase a firearm, purchase spray paint, purchase a knife, and several other things; however in New York State they can have an optional medical procedure with potentially disastrous side effects without parental consent. That’s messed up.

It just got worse as it went on... I hope this isn't real
Sure wasn't strong enough to say no..
Why would you leave the decision to keep the baby on her?
