Good. Thanks. I have something to go on then.

That is parents forcing something horrible onto their child. So you're saying the bill gives parents the power to abuse their children legally? What about the parents guidance to protect their children from the harm you describe? Doesn't that work both ways? We are, after all, talking about legal minors here, who society has decided are not yet adult and deemed not mature enough to survive in the big bad world away from their parents. Of course all cases are different, and I wouldn't like to generalise personally.
To exercise the authority to force a person to have a child they are not ready for: that is both selfish, and unjust.
It is selfish, because you are putting both mother and child in a horrible position they cannot get out of ... and reducing the quality of their lives intentionally. All for your own personal 'rightness',

I don't think that's logically sound. You should always take the responsibility you own. Laws are generally formulated to result in a least harm scenario. I think you're protestations are far outweighed by the positives so far.

Which is quite unjust. And that they would knowledgeably commit this cruel and unjust act of oppression upon those they rule over with absolute authority: They become a Tyrant
