Really, America?

In America, minors cannot legally:

  • Get a fake tan
  • Drink alcohol
  • Vote
  • Buy a lottery ticket
  • Rent a car, or
  • Open a library card (in some areas)

…Without their parents consenting, or until they are 18. BUT any girl under 18 can get an abortion without her parents knowing. I could abort my parent’s grandchild without them knowing, but they have to be there for me to open a library card. Huh?

America has an issue figuring out what’s really important here. Should it REALLY be more important for a girls parents to help her open a library account, or for them to know about her bearing their grandchild and choosing to abort that baby? What are your thoughts on it?
