ReplyDeleteClaim: Minors should be able to get an abortion without parental consent.
Evidence:""I am mature enough to know that I am too immature to have a baby."
Reasoning: This minor knows that she cannot support a baby and that she is not ready mentally or emotionally to become a mother.
Evidence:"Therefore even parents should not be able to limit the right of their daughters to have an abortion."
Reasoning: Parents should understand that their daughter does not want a baby and it is also better for the environment not to have a mother that doesn't want a child. So not even parents should be able to limit their daughter from getting an abortion.
parents should be able to know because they can help and talk to there child.
DeleteCounterclaim:But what if her mom wants to support the baby and the daugther didnt know.
DeleteThe fact that you include the comment that "Parents should understand" that statement is refering to something mandatory, since you included the word should. In what position are you to tell the parent what he or she should do when it comes to their own child? If anything the parent should have their own decision over their child's action, because they are in a position of authority. That's what it means to be a parent to look after your child because, as a parent you have more experience, and you wouldn't want a mistake to occur. You would actually do something before the mistake happens.
Deletecounterclaim: Parents know the best. what if they think that she can have the baby, becauswe they will help support it
Deleteteens need to understand that there parents care and want to be by there side
DeleteParents are wiser and know the best for you, but also parents are kind and if you do have a baby you can be supported by them
DeleteResponding to Dannie: The parents dont necessarily own the children, its their body they can do what they wont as long as the parents are notfied
Deletedaughter needs to undedrstand there parent is supposed to protect them in all cases
DeleteSome teens think they are ready for a baby, or their partners will force them to have one and then they end up struggling so the parents should always know.
Deletereplaying to jada:The parents are the responsible party and should have a say in what happens to the unborn child, after all this would be their grandchild.
DeleteResponding to Jada's comment: Well that just neglects the whole role of parenthood, as a parent you would want to know about what your child does,and if they are being respectful. Sure, they are going to have to grow up some day but, when it comes to sexual activity at such a young age that's something that is concerning for a parent. Why would you want to avoid the protection of a parent. Also, when it comes to abortion who's heartbeat are you stopping again?

ReplyDeleteClaim:" Parents should be notified before their child can get an abortion.
Evidence:"Parental notification laws require written notification to parents by a medical provider before a young person can receive abortion services."
Reasoning: Parental notification laws says that a parent has to be noticed before their daughter can get an abortion.
Evidence:". Most state parental involvement requirements include a judicial bypass procedure that requires a minor to receive court approval for an abortion without her parents’ knowledge or consent.
Reasoning: Most parental laws say that if the child does not want their parent to know then the child must have court approval to get the abortion.

ReplyDeleteThe claim in the article is that teens should notify their parents before seeking sexual health services. In the article the evidence they use is mostly statistics. For example the article states that 47% of sexually active girls would stop seeking sexual health services if they had to notify their parents first. The reasoning is because they would like to keep their confidentiality and don't want to tell their parents.

We don't let teens/minors drive, drink, smoke, or vote due to their immaturity with making important decisions. Making decisions regarding life/death and medical procedures follow this.
DeleteChildren don't always know about their health while their parents do. They need parents there incase of anything medical related

Deletereplying to jeter: Even if they're scared it's better than the child doing something they might regret

Evidenace: if the parents' right to know prevails over the adolescents' right to privacy, the teen-agers will simply abandon birth control and become pregnant in vastly increasing numbers.

ReplyDeleteclaim: Parent's consent should not be needed
Evidence: The Proposition today believes that limiting the right to have an abortion of teenage girls in any way has dire consequences for the women, for the potential children and for the society as a whole.
Reasoning: Therefore even parents should not be able to limit the right of their daughters to have an abortion.
Because parents are experienced in parenting and children, the parents should help in the decision. I mean YOU were the one that went out and got pregnant, but in the same sense YOU still live in your PARENTS HOUSE. YOU have NO type of job and you pay NO bills. If you need help in the decision, ask a parent. Even if you don't want to ask a parent, they deserve to know. Don't make your parent think your an angel when in actuality you messed up and you need help.

ReplyDeleteClaim: Kids shouldn't have to get parent approval for abortions, birth control, etc.
Evidence: For some minors it may just be a matter of having to tell parents that may not be very supportive of their decision; for others, it may mean being kicked out of their home or further exacerbating an already abusive home life.
Reasoning: Parents shouldn't have to be notified when their child gets an abortion.
Parents' are responsible for their children's actions until they reach adulthood and should certainly be involved in any pregnancy and/or abortion decisions. These are hard decisions so parents need to know.
DeleteMost parents would help them reach a decision by showing them the pros and cons

evidence-http://debatewise.org/debates/2308-minors-should-be-able-to-obtain-abortions-without-parental-consent/#yes1
reasoning-Firstly, most teens have developed consequential thinking
Parents have a right to know of a child's pregnancy or abortion, because it is a decision that should not be made by a minor. In the case where a minor gets pregnant and is faced with the decision of having a pregnancy or abortion, the parents should know.
Deleteparents also want to be included in this deision and help there kids understand whats going on better

ReplyDeleteClaim: Parents should not have a say in teens decisions even if it benefits both at times.
Evidence: More teens take more good actions when their parents aren't involved. They feel like they have their own voices. They have a opportunity to prove their parents wrong and show them they can fix problems on their own.
Reasoning: Parents are not always the best advocates for their child's decision sometimes and they speak over the teens voices making their children more ignorant to better choices in the future.
Counterclaim: The parents could help the child and support them if the decision is really difficult
Deleteteens don't understand the full responsibility of taking care of a child if they are a child them selves and they need there parents support and should take it
DeleteI am responding to Lassalle Anahi's comment: You said that "More teens take more good actions when their parents aren't involved" Oh really?! First, you should qualify that. Second, could you please tell me some situations in which that occured, because I would like to know. Here is one reason why that is not true, in most cases when a teen disrespected his or her parent, they had sex, and got pregnant.

ReplyDeleteMinors should be able to obtain abortions without parental consent.
"I am mature enough to know that I am too immature to have a baby." Minor's statement to her attorney prior to her judicial bypass hearing in Michigan, 1992.
Minor's shouldn't be able to make responsible choices like abortions and other health services even if they say they know because they haven't been through situations like that before. So they think they know, when they really don't.
DeleteOver many decades, there has been a debate on what information parents should be required to be informed about or even have to give consent. From ear piercings, and tattoos, and now abortions. This has been a major debate.

ReplyDeleteI am responding to Rodriguez Thenyi's comment: You said that "i think parents shouldnt know because theres different kinds of parents n some of them are really violent." Correct me if I'm mistaken but the fact that you said some parents are really violent. (I'm not saying its right to be a violent parent) (nor it's right to not take responsibility of your own actions). It sounds like the child is the victim. If anything, the parent has every right to be angry because, the child disobeyed to the parent.

ReplyDelete** The first statement on the no side**
Claim:Parents should no be notified when their child wants to get an abortion.
Evidence:" My parents' conservative beliefs are certainly not mine. I have the ability to adhere to any philosophy I choose, and my parents should have no say in what my decisions are. I should be free to follow my choices, regardless of my background. Should I not be able to get an abortion just because my mother thinks it's wrong?"
Reasoning: This teen thinks that she should have the right to get an abortion without her parents knowing about it. What if their parent does not agree with abortions? The child does not want to have the baby , so as the carrier of the child she should have the say in what happens.
Counterclaim: Teens should notify their parents if they want to get an abortion
DeleteReasoning: If a parent is notified then the parent can help the child and support them through the abortion
reply to Amanda: If the child is in need of telling the parents or their pregnancy or abortion, that should be to their own choosing
Deletehttp://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/07/new-study-destroys-pro-abortion-arguments-against-parental-notification/
ReplyDeletethis website talks about that they are not against it and they give a life story to it. it said "For decades, pro-choice lobbyists have fought any legislation that puts parents between minors and the so-called reproductive healthcare services sold by chains like Planned Parenthood. One argument was that parental notification laws would cause adolescents to avoid or delay “necessary” reproductive and sexual healthcare resulting in increased teen pregnancies and, in turn, abortions. However, a major new study dramatically undercuts that argument.
According to Guttmacher, “55 percent of parents participating in a 2002 survey said that overall, proposed laws requiring that parents be notified before their minor children obtain prescription contraceptives are a good idea,” but 96 percent also feared that unintended consequences may include an increase in teen pregnancies." this is evidence.

ReplyDeleteClaim: Kids shouldn't have to get parent approval for abortions, birth control For some minors it may just be a matter of having to tell parents that may not be very supportive of their decision for others it may mean being kicked out of their home or further exacerbating an already abusive home life.Reasoning Parents shouldn't have to be notified when their child gets an abortion.
First question, do you know what an abortion is? Do you know what a huge decision that is? If not, I will tell you. Abortion is taking the life of a human being, so that someone else may live differently. Do you really think that a 14, 15, or 16 year old should be making such a significant decision? I think not, I think that parents should be involved because, as a parent you have more experience and based on those experiences you can reflect that on your own children because you obviously wouldn't want your child to make the same mistake. That's the whole point of parenthood, to protect your children, to avoid the wrong the decisions that they may make in life, and encourage the good. The fact that society may try to take that away that's basically taking away the whole point of parenthood. If anything people should be encouraging that, because I'm very sure people would want to protect their children and lead them in the right path. Listen, I could go on forever about this argument, but I think you get the point.

Deletehttp://www.debate.org/opinions/do-parents-have-a-right-to-know-of-a-childs-pregnancy-or-abortion
ReplyDelete**The third statement on the no side**
Claim: Parents should not be notified if their child requests for an abortion.
Evidence: "Whether a teenager is pregnant and wants an abortion it is none of their parents business. Its not their body going through the ordeal, and whether or not you decide to keep the baby is not their decision to make. However, I'm not saying you should completely disregard your parents advice. They are your family and only want what is best for you-so listen and consider their opinion, just don't let them make the decision for you."
Reasoning: This person believes that the parent should have no say in what happens but the child should not just ignore the parent. They should take what they say into consideration.
Claim: Teens should let their parent's consent be allowed because they are still underage and if they live under their parent's roof, then their parents have every right to say what goes on.
Deletereply to Anahi: Truthfully though children should be in control of their own body and not have to tell their parents if for some reason they don't want to. It would be unfair to force a child to tell their parents
Deletehttp://everydayfeminism.com/2014/08/required-to-tell-parents-about-abortion/
ReplyDeleteThis website talks about how most states require notification or written consent of a parent. Also some states require the involvement of one parent which others require two.
"Although parental involvement laws add yet another barrier to abortion access for minors, these laws tend to be widely supported: According to a 2005 Gallup poll, 7 in 10 Americans favor laws that require women under 18 to get parental consent for any abortion."
This evidence shows that the laws are being extremely supportive for the decisions of parental consent in abortion under the age of 18.
Today, in every state, sexually active teenagers can get contraceptives to protect themselves against unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases - even if they can't talk about sex with their parents. But some state and federal lawmakers want to take away teens' ability to protect themselves. They want to prevent sexually active teenagers from getting birth control unless they first tell their parents
ReplyDeletehttps://www.aclu.org/preventing-teenagers-getting-contraceptives-unless-they-tell-parent-puts-teens-risk
The statement "PROTECT THEMSELVES" ought to bring you pause. Protect yourself from what exactly? From facing the consequences of you actions? Society develops these "profound statements" to manipulate the youth to think that they are in a position in which they think they have the right to do whatever they wish, and I don't think that is right because, when it comes to sexual activity, especially in the youth, that's something serious. We all know that a relationship might last a few weeks, days, months, years possibly, etc. But most of the time the reality is that, there is not a commitment when it comes to these relationships. In other words, these kids (yes kids) use the word "love" (like as if they knew what it meant.) When they get into a relationship with someone they met at school, or something, and, they go out for two months, have sex,break up and one out of the two people that were in that relationship, are most likely going find someone else to use as a toy. Does that sound like a strong bond and commitment, or does that sound like someone who is going shopping consistently?

ReplyDeleteClaim: Having a parent's consent would have a negative reflection on their child's decision having to do with health care.
Evidence: Many teens won't take advantage of having a choice in health services if they have to have a parent's consent to obtain whatever they want.
Reason: Teens feel like they can't decide for themselves because their parent's won't listen to them or how they feel and make their own decision's since they "know best".
If a child is under age and under their parents' roof, then parents have every right to know if their child is pregnant or is having an abortion.
