And there's the crux of it: "more important rights are at stake"
The more important rights here are that of the living, breathing woman over those of a cluster of cells.
Did you read the whole reply? If I refuse abortion to you, you can go to another clinic and they will make it, I am free to consider abortion murder it that's my thinking; if I refuse to treat a patient with surgery, he dies if there is no other doctor, if a blood transfusion is refused, there will most likely be a death, etc. They are different situations. No one is arguing a cluster of cells is more important, I was just saying doctors have the right to refuse and should continue to use it as long as they are not putting a life at stake by doing so. In the case of abortion they are not, like I said there are specialized clinics to perform it, everybody gets happy

Buying a house, having a business, and having a baby are all big responsibilities that would place undue pressure on the development of a young adult, as well as on the society when that young adult proves unable to fulfill the responsibility. If you tried to PREVENT a teenager from not having a business, or PREVENT a teenager from not owning a house whether they wanted to or not, that would be retarded and counterproductive to both the child's interests and the society's.
Teenagers are unable to celebrate business like it or not. A teenager can only celebrate a business with parents' consent. This is mostly due to maturity. A teenager cannot celebrate a contract buying a house or opening a business because they are not mature enough according to the law and are dependent on their parents money for everything, they mostly don't have autonomy nor money of their own to perform such actions
And if I refuse life giving surgery to someone they can go to another surgeon.
This is easy, isn't it?
