A pregnant 13-year-old girl in Florida has been told she cannot have an abortion because she lacks the maturity to make such a decision
"Florida's department of children and families intervened and took the matter to court, arguing the teenager, who is under the care of the state, is too young and immature to make an informed medical decision. Judge Ronald Alvarez in Palm Beach accepted that argument and has granted a temporary injunction and psychological evaluation, which effectively blocks her from terminating the pregnancy."

Interesting that the 13 year old is too young and immature to make a decision to have an abortion....but evidently not immature enough to carry and deliver a baby. I suppose the next thing is that Florida will expect/mandate she give the baby up for adoption.
I am not pro-abortion, but there seems to be some flawed logic here.
