In what fucking world should parents get a say in if their child has an abortion‽
The same where they get a say in the kid being gay or a ~~tranny~~ trans

Yeah, and while I hate that I’ve been exposed to enough of their bullshit I understand on some level the idea that they feel they should get a say in if their child transitions under their roof or who their child dates under their roof. These people have chosen not to understand queerness and refuse to acknowledge the cost to their child for repressing themselves or going through the wrong puberty against their will.
But the idea that a child is too young to decide to have an abortion for themselves means they think their child isn’t too young to be a parent and that’s fucking insane to me. Like they know that teen pregnancy is bad. They know that it’s bad for teenagers to be parents.
In the US, the child's would-be grandparent can sue physicians for murdering their grandchild if they think it wasn't medically necessary to save their child.
It has lead to many physicians refusing to offer lifesaving abortions due to the risk
