Given that the health risks of a young girl carrying a pregnancy to term are probably higher than getting an abortion by a licensed, experienced doctor . . .
For people in urban areas, none of the restrictions are very onerous. For someone in a more rural area or small town, going to the local judge can be akin to announcing to the whole town you are pregnant. No, it shouldn't be, but it can be. And there is unlikely to be a practitioner within easy traveling distance, so the "wait a week" or "wait 2 days" requirement is not the relatively simple hurdle it might seem.
oh, fuck it, this is such a pointless argument. No one EVER EVER changes their minds.
